Covid restrictions have put enormous pressure on a lot of kids. One research study reveals that depression and anxiety in youth has doubled compared to pre-pandemic levels. One in 4 adolescents globally are experiencing clinically elevated depression symptoms, while 1 in 5 youth are experiencing clinically elevated anxiety symptoms." What we have is a global mental health crisis in youth. My guest today, Dr. Karin Jakubowski sees this first-hand. She’s a school principal, and has worked in education for over 20 years. She sees kids struggle in school. Some have behavioral issues, some just can't 'do school' as we know it. Through years of practice, she’s unlocked ways to help kids break through these barriers. Dr. Jakubowski is a well-respected international influencer on helping kids live happier, healthier lives, navigating through their most challenging moments. Karin now works directly with moms through her Momnificent program, so mom’s can build stronger and more meaningful relationships with their kids, and be the support their kids need. And ultimately, as a parent, sleep better at night! Today we’ll explore what you can do as a parent to help your kids be mentally and emotionally strong, no matter what life throws at them.
