How We Can Provide Wholeness for Our Children - a convo with Keri Cooper

Another super important conversation to bring awareness and shine the light on the shift in mental wellness, social pressures, anxiety especially in our education system for our younger children and teens.

 

Keri Cooper, LCSW, is the owner of Keri Cooper Holistic Therapy in northern New: Jersey. In her private practice, she counsels teens and works to give them the tools they need to navigate life. Keri takes a holistic approach to therapy, looking at the whole person, not just their symptoms. Keri is the author of Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs To Know, a book designed to give parents steps on how to improve their child’s mental health. Her second book is a workbook for teens, Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Teen Needs To Know. She is a speaker and writer who helps educate teens and parents on the topics teens face in everyday life. She is a graduate of the University Of Pennsylvania and continues to further her education by obtaining additional certifications in her field, one of her favorite pastimes! When Keri isn't busy working with teens, she is busy with her own four children and her flock of chickens.

Here are some helpful nuggets from today's episode:

1. Kids want to feel open to really talk without feeling judged and they want us to listen, 
2. kids, their brains are not fully developed. They're going to do stupid things.
3. If you're building it up on a weak foundation, any stressor is going to knock over that house.  If it's standing on a strong foundation,  it could weather the storm. 
4. Anxiety has taken over these kids. They have so much anxiety, so much social pressure.
5. You have to model what's appropriate. You have to model boundaries.
