Episode 60: How to Manage Stress, the Trap of Medicating our Kids for Mental Health, and Maternal Self-Care

Dr. Ro is back! This episode is all about stress and how it's linked to our and our children's mental health. So many of us were raised with the quick-fix mentality and meds tend to be the "easiest" solution to our children's issues. Parents are being led on a dead-end road by conventional doctors and it's time to stand up for your children and get to the root cause of issues rather than just prescribing pills that don't work! With more and more children being medicated, this episode discusses why medication NEVER works and what we can do instead to truly support and help our children thrive! I just love how Dr. Ro walks us through how stress affects us and how the nervous system comes into play. She gives us so many tips and strategies on how to talk to your kids about mental health and open up the communication on hard issues that we are faced with in life. Because so many of us weren't raised with conscious parents, it's up to us to shift the cycle and truly help our kids become a better version of us! Dr. Ro gives us the CHAMP technique to help us integrate all of her amazing insight! She shares how maternal mental health is the huge driver of how our children see and experience the world and if we really want our kids to heal, we must heal first. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did! Please share and subscribe!
