As parents, we all aspire to raise responsible ind

As parents, we all aspire to raise responsible individuals who can navigate life with confidence and make wise decisions. 🌟 Now, let's pause for a moment and reflect: How does our approach to discipline shape our children's path to becoming capable adults? 🤔

Recent research offers some valuable insights. The study (Katsantonis & Symonds, 2023) highlights that children exposed to what experts describe as "hostile" parenting at the age of three are 1.5 times more likely to experience 'high risk' mental health symptoms by the age of nine. Harsh disciplinary tactics, such as regular shouting, routine physical punishment, isolating children during misbehavior, damaging their self-esteem, or unpredictable punishments based on the parent's mood, can have lasting effects. However, it's important to remember that setting clear boundaries for our children's behavior is still essential. The key lies in recognizing what boundaries are necessary and how to hold them in a way that aids a child’s development and maintains connection.

Raise your hand if you:
⭐️ have a child who feels ALL the feels in such an intense way that you don't know how to help them with their big reactions
⭐️ feel your child has a PhD in Pushing Your Buttons
⭐️ find yourself feeling guilty after losing your cool
⭐️ avoid setting limits sometimes because you're afraid of the reaction and you're too exhausted to deal with it

If any of this had you shouting, “I feel seen!”, I've got you covered.

One minute everything is fine, and the next minute your child is in the midst of a full-blown meltdown. It can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. After almost 20 years working as a psychologist and parent coach, I've taken the strategies I've used with thousands of families and designed a new FREE live masterclass.

Powerful words in this episode with very special guest @mrs.samudio and her work around shame-proof parenting.

Have you considered how your implicit bias impacts your therapy clients? Have you included critical elements such as having "the talk" in your treatment planning with African American Families?

In the newest episode of "This Hour has 50 Minutes", I sit down with Mercedes Samudio, LCSW to discuss Supporting African American Families and shame-proof parenting.

Mercedes shares insights into the unique mental health risks faced by African American children and how the false narratives around African American families can impact therapy. She also dives into the factors contributing to shame for African American families and the steps that therapists can take to reduce shame.

She shared her Parental Identity Development Model and how it can help parents navigate the complex world of parenting with grace and compassion.

1 hour of CE credit is available.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who cares about mental health and wants to support African American families. Join us in learning from Mercedes Samudio, LCSW, and gain valuable insights that can help you make a difference in the lives of those around you.
