In this edition, we delve into the fascinating world of gentle parenting with our esteemed guest, Keri Cooper, LCSW. Keri is the owner of Keri Cooper Holistic Therapy in northern New Jersey, where she guides teens toward a holistic approach to mental well-being. Join us as we explore the transformative concept of gentle parenting and its evolution over time. Keri shares insights into how this approach differs from traditional parenting methods and, more importantly, how it has positively reshaped the parent-child relationship. We tackle the pros and cons of gentle parenting, asking critical questions about privacy for children and how they can establish healthy boundaries with parents and other adults. Keri provides invaluable advice on distinguishing between unhealthy and healthy boundaries in family dynamics. The episode takes a modern turn as we discuss the impact of social media on children and effective strategies for parents to navigate these influences. Keri, the author of "Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs To Know," sheds light on when parents should consider seeking therapy for their children and whether the current generation is perceived as "too soft" or sensitive. As we wrap up, Keri addresses questions about her book and introduces her second publication, a workbook for teens titled "Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Teen Needs To Know." Don't miss out on this thought-provoking conversation that explores the intersection of parenting, mental health, and the challenges faced by today's teens.
