Mr and Mrs Therapy | Trauma, PTSD, Communication, Anxiety, Depression, EMDR, Marriage, Mental Health

In this crucial episode of "Mr. and Mrs. Therapy," we tackle a topic that's at the forefront of every parent's mind: the impact of negative influences on children from friends, family, and other sources. Understanding and addressing these influences is key to fostering a healthy environment for your child's growth and development.

We delve into how friends and certain family members can sometimes lead to negative behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs in children. We'll discuss the signs to look out for that may indicate your child is under a negative influence and the potential long-term effects on their behavior and mental health.

But it's not just about identifying the problem; we also offer practical strategies and tips for parents. Learn how to talk to your kids about choosing the right friends, the importance of positive role models, and how to cultivate a strong, values-based foundation at home. We'll also explore the delicate balance of guiding your children without overstepping, ensuring they learn to make good decisions independently.

Join us as we provide insights and tools to help you guide your children through the maze of social interactions and influences, ensuring they emerge as strong, confident individuals.
