Dr Amen: Raising Mentally Strong Kids

Video Description

For the first time ever, The Lautners welcome back a past guest, Dr. Amen, for another conversation on mental wellness, this time for children. Whether you’re a parent, want to be a parent, or have no desire to be a parent, Dr. Amen offers insight into relationships and development that we’re certain you can apply to your life in some way. Dr. Amen explains why he wanted to write a book with Dr. Charles Fay and tackle what is missing from most parenting books—brain health! He explains the importance of special time, active listening, and letting children make affordable mistakes. There is undeniably a youth mental health crisis, and Dr. Amen hopes that by offering a “parenting manual” that encourages firm, kind parenting, children will have a better chance at mental strength from the very start. 00:00 Intro 04:44 Welcome back Dr. Amen! 06:00 Citrus Got Real 07:49 Parenting with Love and Logic 14:23 The importance of brain health 22:00 Root causes of mental health struggles in kids 28:21 Raising mentally strong kids 30:37 Bonding 34:25 Active Listening 37:57 Firm & kind 42:26 Reassessing your parenting style 44:30 What anxiety looks like in kids 47:53 The oppositional approach 52:17 Appropriate anxiety 56:49 Mental hygiene 59:55 Hopes for his new book Be sure to follow Dr. Amen https://www.instagram.com/doc_amen/?hl=en and pre-order his book https://www.danielamenmd.com/raising-mentally-strong-kids/ Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode!
