How to Love Your Teen on Their Mental Health Journey—with Kristen Hatton
As we’ve parented our five children through the years, we’ve held them when the tears wouldn’t stop flowing. We’ve listened as they questioned their worth, identity, and if the hard season they were walking through would ever end. We have spent plenty of time in the waiting rooms of counselors and therapists when our children were struggling. And we’ve spent even more time in prayer when we just didn’t know what they needed or how to help. If you are a parent, you’ve likely found yourself in a similar position at some point. You may even be questioning how you can support your teen with their mental health right now. That’s why we are so grateful to welcome Kristen Hatton to the podcast to have this important conversation. Kristen is a counselor, author, mother of three young adult children, and host of the Redemptive Parenting podcast, where she equips parents with wisdom and hope. Kristen is also the author of a powerful new book, Parenting Ahead: Preparing Now for the Teen Years . In this episode, Kristen shares: How family mealtime can have a powerful impact on our children’s mental health Three signs you should seek additional support for your teen Why we should offer support rather than solve problems And more! We hope you enjoy this conversation! Show Notes: https://growinghometogether.com/ kristen-hatton-127 /
