How can we enhance emotional intelligence, develop empathy in our kids, and manage childhood anxiety in the digital age? Join us as we unravel these critical questions with our inspiring guest, Dr. Stephanie Bathurst, a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist and a board-certified clinical sexologist.

We begin our conversation by exploring the importance of mental health in the post-pandemic era for parents and families. Delving further into the subject, we discuss the fundamentals of emotional and relationship intelligence in children's early development years and the role parents play in shaping these capacities. We also share some valuable insights into fostering a nurturing learning environment and the importance of modeling emotionally intelligent behavior. But, that’s not all. Learn how to strike a balance between digital interaction and face-to-face connections to nurture your child's emotional well-being and social skills.
As we navigate through the digital world, we also touch upon how to manage childhood anxiety and build resilience. Discover practical strategies such as vocal toning, box breathing, and accupressure tapping with the emotional freedom technique. We also present the concept of kintsugi as a metaphor for resilience and acceptance.
