Why Supporting Parents First Can Transform Kids’ Mental Health
In this episode, Ashley Osinski discusses the critical role of parental support in enhancing children's emotional wellbeing. She emphasizes that before seeking therapy for children, parents should focus on their own emotional health and learn effective strategies to support their kids. The conversation highlights the importance of co-regulation and how parents can create a nurturing environment that fosters resilience in their children. The episode also references the SPACE study, which shows that parental coaching can lead to better outcomes for children with anxiety than traditional therapy alone.
