The secret to why Chloe is doing so well for Years you read to her every night. But you know more you have done ever since she was a baby. I mean we want you to be a brain warrior and we want you to create brain warriors in your family, because it's one of the best protections and treatments about mental health problems.
Is sending kids off to college at 18 really the best idea? Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle this pressing question in this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast. They dive into the rising mental health issues among college students and how parenting techniques might be setting kids up for a rough transition to independence. From overprotection to cultural shocks, they cover the gamut of challenges young adults face when they leave the nest.
Ever wondered if brain development plays a role in this? Spoiler alert: it does, and the Amens explain why waiting a bit longer might be beneficial for some teens. They also share practical tips for parents, like fostering 'brain warriors' within the family, reading to kids from a young age, and keeping them close until they're truly ready to spread their wings.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for parents looking to better prepare their children for life's next big step.
