Simply put, enabling is doing something challenging for someone else, while empowering someone means helping and supporting them as they complete the challenging task. Think of those school projects you did as a child; enabling is your mom doing the whole project for you, while empowering is your mom helping you do your own school project.Read the blog here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-difference-between-being-patient-vs-enabling-toxic-behavior-how-to-become-a-super-self-regulatorOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -ChimeL Sign up for Chime today, and make this summer the best one yet - for yourself and your wallet.

Why? Temperature is one the main driver of chemical reactions, so changes in temperature affect the biochemistry of the brain and body.  Read the blog here:https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-extreme-heat-affects-the-brain-how-to-prevent-any-damageSign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -BiOptimizer’s Magnesium Breakthrough: For an exclusive offer for my listeners go to magbreakthrough.com/drleaf.

This is part 2 of my series on parenting, boundaries, and mental health. Part one can be found here.Whenever you, as a parent or caregiver, set a boundary, make sure that you always explain why in a way that your child will understand. Use the moment to model healthy boundaries for your child and teach them what a healthy boundary looks like, using language that encourages your child to think about the situation and what it means. Avoid using language that shuts them down such as saying “because I said so”, which will make the boundary feel more like a punishment than a teaching opportunity. Read the blog here: ⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-set-boundaries-while-still-respecting-validating-emotionsOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -AquaTru: 20% OFF any AquaTru purifier!

This is part 1 of a 2-part series on parenting, boundaries, and mental health.  From the moment children are born, they are tied to their environment and the people within their environment. They are born into a community which they both shape and are shaped by.   A child’s identity is closely tied to their community – their family, friends, and other acquaintances. Children develop a sense of who they are in relation to who they are with. This has both a huge potential for growth and connection and a huge potential for harm, which is why teaching your child how to have healthy relationships from a young age is so important for their mental and physical wellbeing.  Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-importance-of-teaching-children-boundariesSign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -Qualia Senolytic: If you’re in your late 20’s or older, adding Qualia Senolytic to your diet can play a CRUCIAL role in combating negative aging symptoms.

This is part of a series I am doing on questions you submitted for my new book on children’s mental health. This was Alicia’s question:“How do I help a sensitive seven-year-old move on after they make a mistake? I have a very sensitive seven year old girl. She likes to follow the rules. However, she does from time to time need some course correction. When I do so, she instantly withdraws, and becomes very quiet and sad, often for a long amount of time. I have a hunch that she’s beating herself up about whatever mistake she made, and I would love some help figuring out how to help her receive correction without being so hard on herself.”Read the blog here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-help-sensitive-children-manage-their-emotionsSign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleafOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-Chime: Start building your credit up.
