This year has been traumatic for ourselves and our kids but there are things we can do to help our children grow through it. I sit down to talk with Dr. Amy Marschall of ResiliencyMentalHealth.com to talk about parenting beyond the pandemic. Amy has a lot to share including: 

@4:19 Tips to help kids express big feelings appropriately without stepping on those feelings

@13:18 Why you want your kids to be a challenge

@14:13 How to tell that you're doing a good job helping your child with emotional regulation

@18:35 A new way to look at it when your child says "I hate you"

@22:49 The way that emotional literacy develops in kids

@25:58 Why you should look for teaching moments instead of punishing moments

We also talk about how to know if your child needs counseling and how to find a counselor that you BOTH like.
