  • Relatable and encouraging..

    This was such a thoughtful episode to listen to, especially the discussion around how the sense of mattering impacts relationships, confidence, and mental health. I liked how the conversation balanced research and real-life application in a way that felt relatable and encouraging. It really highlighted how small moments of connection can have a lasting effect on someone’s life.

How to Talk to Kids about Divorce and Emotional Health with Erica Komisar
Q: What is a common pitfall parents should avoid in order to protect their children's wellbeing during divorce?
Avoid disparaging or weaponizing the child against the other parent; this harms the child emotionally and undermines the family's stability, which is crucial for the child's future emotional regulation.
How to Talk to Kids about Divorce and Emotional Health with Erica Komisar
Q: How should parents handle a new partner entering the family, and what is the timeline for introductions?
Introduce a prospective partner only when you're confident they will be part of the family long-term, involve the child in a calm, clear explanation, and expect that acceptance may take time; avoid pressuring the child to like the person, and maintain ongoing support.
How to Talk to Kids about Divorce and Emotional Health with Erica Komisar
Q: What is the best approach for telling children about a divorce, and who should be involved in that conversation?
Aim for a collaborative approach where both parents are on the same page, tell the truth, time the discussion away from major stressors, and involve the children with honest but age-appropriate information, inviting questions and answering them openly.
How to Talk to Kids about Suicide Risk and Prevention with Jonathan B. Singer – ReRelease

How to Talk to Kids about Anxiety and OCD with Jennifer Weaver, LCSW – ReRelease
Q: What top advice would you give to parents who want to help their child without reinforcing the OCD?
