Most kids don't say "I'm struggling." They say "I'm fine" — and hope you notice anyway. #shorts

This Mental Health Awareness Month, here's the one sentence that opens the door. "I've noticed you seem a little off lately. I want you to know I'm here." No fixing. No lecturing. Just presence. Send this to a parent who needs to hear this today. 💛 #youtubeshorts #mentalhealthawareness #kidsmentalhealth #theconversationdoc #drrobynsilverman #parentingtips #mentalhealth

How to Talk to Kids about Diverse Family Structures with Abbie Goldberg, Ph.D – ReRelease

This podcast will focus on the range of different types of families there are—especially families that were built through adoption and families that are headed up by two-dads or two-moms or a range of others who love them (grandparents, single parents). What makes a family? It’s about process not structure—it’s who loves and takes care of you, not their gender or biology! Thank you to Professor Abbie Goldberg, recognized scholar, speaker and author, for all her amazing eye-opening information. The post How to Talk to Kids about Diverse Family Structures with Abbie Goldberg, Ph.D – ReRelease appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

Stop." "Stop." "Stop." — and nothing changes

Stop." "Stop." "Stop." — and nothing changes. Here's why. When a child is in a Red-Light moment, their brain is hijacked. They're not choosing to ignore you. They literally cannot hear you. This is when you stop saying "stop" — and become the Safe Captain instead. Try this: "I'm going to help you find a safer way to use that energy right now." ⚓️ That one line creates a connection before correction. And connection is what actually works. 👉 Want more scripts like this? My Kidversation Cards give you exactly what to say — for moments just like this one.
