April Feature of the Month

Child Development & Parenting

“Children, be obedient to your parents in the Lord — that is what uprightness demands. The first commandment that has a promise attached to it is: Honor your father and your mother, and the promise is: so that you may have long life and prosper in the land. And parents, never drive your children to resentment, but bring them up with correction and advice inspired by the Lord.”
— Ephesians 6:1-4

A Rough patch, or something more?
Depression in Youth

Natalie Brei, PhD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist

“Is it a phase? A stage? Teenage angst? Hormones? We all have periods down in the dumps. Working through these periods can build resiliency and increase our faith in God and ourselves. But what if the negative mood - sadness, loneliness, irritability, anger – lasts for weeks and you think this is more than the typical “ups and downs” in your child?”

 

How to handle your child’s negative feelings towards school

“Sometimes kids just don’t want to go to school. Whether it’s a problem with a teacher or peer, test anxiety, or something else, how should parents handle this?”

—Dr. Natalie Brei

 

OUR HOME IS A LOVING PLACE

In this #mentalhealthminute, Nicolette Machado, LCSW introduces us to 5 foundational components we can use in our homes to establish and improve the connection between children and parents: PLACE (playfulness, love, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy).

 

Social and Emotional Learning

“As parents, we need to be truly present with and for our children…We need to experience the world through their eyes, seeing their perception, taking their perspective”

—Dr. Courtney K. Miller
