“Mindfulness is one of the most important life skills we can give to our teenagers.” - Dr. Elisa Song
Our kids are under stress more so now than ever before. Their easy access to smartphones and social media also means they have fewer opportunities to blow off steam with simple activities like hanging out, chatting with friends, or riding a bike to a neighbor’s house.
Like anything else, kids need to learn how to make better choices, just as they have to learn to do everything else they will eventually need to do on their own. As parents, grandparents, and caregivers, the best thing we can do for them is empower them with tools and strategies they can use to increase their resilience and improve their health without feeling disconnected from their peers.
Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Elisa Song to talk about her book, Healthy Kids, Happy Kids. Dr. Elisa teaches a wide range of tools, from nourishment, movement, and mindfulness to nervous system regulation - strategies that benefit us and our kids. When we get better at them ourselves, we are better equipped to share a skill set for good health that will grow with our children as they do.
In this conversation, Dr. Elisa and I discuss her insights on pediatric health, the gut microbiome's role in children's well-being, the impact of diet, lifestyle, and technology on children's health, strategies for supporting kids with long COVID, the need for improved stress resilience, practical advice for fostering children's physical and emotional health, and more.
Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
