We're adults, we're on a hair trigger, we love our kids, we're trying to protect them. It's a, it's a, it's an unkind world in certain ways. And the thing is, you are the prize and never lower your value system yourselves, because I don't want anybody doing that.
Imagine sitting down to dinner with your family, not just to eat, but to tackle some of life's toughest topics. In this episode of 'Talk with Your Mouth Full', host Theresa Bairos, LMFT, joins a family of five for an honest conversation about the impact of media on substance use and the importance of family values.
With three daughters aged 12, 13, and 16, this family shares their regular dinner-time rituals and the open lines of communication they maintain with their kids. They delve into middle school drama, discuss how media shapes perceptions of substance use, and emphasize the role of prevention education in schools. One parent poignantly states, 'We love our kids and try to protect them.
It's an unkind world in certain ways, but you are the prize and should never lower your value system.' This episode offers practical advice on fostering leadership, individuality, empathy, and compassion in children while navigating the challenges of mental health and substance use. Whether you're a parent looking for guidance or someone interested in family dynamics, this conversation is both enlightening and heartwarming.
