Caring for our teen's mental health. A conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson
Join me for the second conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson as we focus on caring for our teen's mental health. I don't know about you, but this is an issue I care deeply about but am not exactly sure how to do it "right." Dr. Michelle brings wisdom and guidance into this challenging topic.
In today's episode we discuss:
- The rise of mental health challenges in our children.
- The different challenges our children have now, specifically with regard to technology.
- How children display depression (it’s not necessarily crying all the time).
- What to ask when our adolescents begin acting out and the clue that they may be depressed.
- What learning to ask good questions can do for their relationships and understanding.
- How to give our children the vocabulary to deal with their emotions.
- How shaping our perspectives can help manage crises.
- When it’s time to make a call to a therapist.
