My guest, Stephanie Malia Krauss, is an expert on helping you help your kiddos to thrive in this complicated world! How do we make sure our kids are well? We have a youth mental health crisis. How can we support them to support their mental wellbeing?
Stephanie, as a mom, she wants her own kids to thrive so what she shares comes straight from her mama heart. She starts by looking at the whole child. Who there are in their entirety. Then she looks at practices they can adopt for a lifetime to help them in areas such as mental health, and relationships. From there, she builds a plan for wholeness and wellbeing for the rest of their lives.
In this episode we look at these areas while Stephanie provides a roadmap for all parents to help their kids even if they are struggling, suffering or traumatized. The brain body connection is something we dive into because there are EASY things, we can be doing with our kids physically, that support their bodies, development, ability to learn and help them to thrive.
