In today’s world, there is no escaping the barrage of likes, comments, and follow requests. Our children are growing up in a world where social media is becoming increasingly accessible to younger audiences by the day. Instead of fighting the online world, we have to prepare our children to become responsible digital citizens. From privacy, to safety, to screen time, it seems like there are countless topics we must help our children navigate. 

However, fear not! Social media is not without its benefits! Engaging online can allow your children a creative outlet, and ample opportunities for social connection and interaction. 

Being a double-edged sword, it is vital that parents and caregivers give social media the proper educational attention to ensure that our children are reaping the benefits, while minimizing the possible drawbacks. 

In this episode of the Summer Series, I am going to walk you through tangible ways to monitor and tailor your child’s time online to ensure the security of their mental health, and their safety.

It is finally Summertime! This is the perfect time for your child to take a step back from the pressures of the school year, and have some fun. Summer boasts endless opportunities for growth in all aspects of your child’s life. Your family may have fun activities planned, summer camp on the calendar, or a trip to visit family coming up. 

Though it is easy to get wrapped up in our newfound free time, it is important for parents to remain checked in to their child’s mental well-being. With your child spending more time at home, you may note some behaviors and habits of theirs that you may not have noticed before.

On this week’s episode of the podcast, our second installment in the summer series, we will cover warning signs that your child may be struggling with their mental health during the summer months. Join me as I identify behaviors and changes in your child’s mood that could be cause for concern. In addition to this, we will be discussing the difference between developmentally normal changes in mood, and abnormal indicators that your child’s mental health is at risk. 

Let’s ensure that your child has the safe and relaxing summer they deserve!

This week we are in part 2 of the 2023 Black History Month Series!

On this week's episode of the podcast, I talk about the importance of representation. 

There is a plethora of research that suggests that it is extremely important for children to be exposed to positive images of people who looked like them! Representation is when children and adolescents see people who look and/or have similar experiences to them in books, media, politics, movies, and the many other things they consume on a daily basis. 

Join me in this episode so we can have a conversation about how you can make sure there is representation in your child's life.

Having conversations around race, racism, and social justice is very often hard for parents and caregivers. Yet, parents and caregivers are the most equipped to create spaces for healthy dialogue—today, children have access to news, commentary, and social media but lack the context that history provides.

This month I am celebrating Black History Month, in my annual Black History Month Series. We're kicking this series off with today's episode titled:  Developmentally Appropriate Conversations about Race, Racism, and Social Justice. 

In this episode,  I am sharing a framework that parents and caregivers can use to begin discussing race, racism, and social justice with children and adolescents, in  a developmentally appropriate way!

We cover the following: 

• How adults prepare mentally and emotionally for these difficult conversations.
• The key to having developmentally appropriate conversations with your children about race,  racism, and social justice.
