Joining Jill Devine this week for the second time on the podcast is Erica Komisar. She was Jill’s guest on Episode 37: You Have A Small Window To Make A Huge Difference In The Mental Health and Well Being Of Your Child:
Through her research for the book Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters, Erica found at least 1 in 5 children have some form of mental illness. Mothers serve a critical biological function in a babies’ brain development.
Since that conversation, Erica has written another book, Chicken Little the Sky Isn’t Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety.
In these times of great stress for kids, resilience is not a given. The epidemic of mental health disorders in adolescents has made parenting even more challenging, but parents can still have an enormous impact on the health and well-being of their child. Chicken Little the Sky Isn’t Falling is a comprehensive guide that offers the tools you need as a parent to navigate this tumultuous time of change and create a continuous deep connection with your child. Covering topics including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, addiction to name just a few, it will help readers learn how to help prevent, recognize and address mental health disorders. Ms. Komisar offers compassionate and practical advice to parents on how to help their child with these issues if they occur.
In addition to discussing the details of Erica’s new book, Jill and Erica also discussed the different types of professional help for children and adolescents. Erica also provided a very important tip about utilizing the low fee referral services at Psychoanalytic Institutes, where you can get therapy for as little as $35 a session.
