The Motherkind Podcast How to raise emotionally healthy children with Dr. Anne Lane
Welcome to this week’s episode of the Motherkind podcast. I am so happy you are here. Thank you for pressing play and listening.
It’s children’s mental health week, 7 - 13 February. In honour of that this week’s episode is about raising emotionally healthy children.
Dr. Anne Lane is a clinical psychologist working with children, teens and adults. She has a new book out called Nurture your child’s emotional intelligence: Five steps to help your children cope with big emotions and build resilience. If that isn’t the most important thing in the world, then I don’t know what is.
This is an incredible episode and has a wonderfully kind and compassionate energy. Also, coupled with a deep expertise both professionally in her work as a psychologist and personally as a mother of three.
You are going to learn so much in this episode and I loved it.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
- Why emotions are contagious and what to do about that
- How to help both yourself and children put words to emotions
- How to communicate hard things with our children
- Why Anne thinks anxiety and depression is on the rise for our children and what we can do as parents early on
What I learned most from this episode is that life is incredibly messy and what we need to do is help ourselves and our children be ok with that. Isn’t that what emotional health really is all about? Anne is open, honest and fantastically breaks down questions that I know we all have on our minds.
I think you are going to love this one and want to share it. So please do. If there is someone in your life who you think can benefit from this wisdom, please do share it with them across Instagram, Facebook, or where ever you are. Let’s get this incredible information to as many mothers as we can.
Here is the episode. I hope you really enjoy it.
As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
