New research on parents, teens and mental health from @mccharvarded. It may be no surprise that parents who struggle with anxiety raise children who struggle with anxiety but here's the great news... parents who invest in wellness and serving others raise kids who invest in wellness and serving others. No better example than @AdamAvin Wuf Shanti, a college sophomore releasing his new book "Stress Less; Mindfulness for Teenagers" and the support and activism of his family @MarniBecker-Avin. Thanks Adam for including me and my work! Don't miss this! https://confidentparentsconfidentkids.org/2023/09/28/teens-parents-mental-health-and-a-game-changing-book/
Reader on Confident Parents, Confident Kids…
One reader and President of a Mom’s Club in Gaithersburg, MD writes, “on first reading...phenomenal! Exactly what I needed right now. I just started checking out books again, feeling like I was doing "something" wrong. I just wasn't feeling great about some of my interactions and felt like I needed a jump start. This blog is putting me back in the right mind frame. It is informative, supportive, yummy! It just makes me feel capable..and like I am talking to my best friend about it!”
Maurice Elias, author of Emotionally Intelligent Parenting and Psychology Professor at Rutgers University writes…
Confident Parents, Confident Kids “merits the attention of anyone working in social, emotional and character development who wants a place to send parents for ideas and advice and dialogue.”
