Caring for our teen's mental health. A conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson

Join me for the second conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson as we focus on caring for our teen's mental health. I don't know about you, but this is an issue I care deeply about but am not exactly sure how to do it "right." Dr. Michelle brings wisdom and guidance into this challenging topic.

In today's episode we discuss:

• The rise of mental health challenges in our children.
• The different challenges our children have now, specifically with regard to technology.
• How children display depression (it’s not necessarily crying all the time).
• What to ask when our adolescents begin acting out and the clue that they may be depressed.
• What learning to ask good questions can do for their relationships and understanding.
• How to give our children the vocabulary to deal with their emotions.
• How shaping our perspectives can help manage crises.
• When it’s time to make a call to a therapist.
