  • 59 - (210) Maintaining Your Environment: Teaching Kids to Take Care of Their Spaces

    In this episode of the Raising Resilience Podcast, host Sara and parenting coach Danielle Bettmann discuss the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment for children's mental health. 

    They introduce KC Davis, a therapist and author, known for her insights into coping with mental health issues and self-care. KC emphasizes the impact of clutter and messiness on mental well-being and shares helpful strategies for teaching children to maintain their environment effectively. 

    They discuss the Mighty + Bright Room Reset board as a tool to guide children in resetting their spaces and establish routines that reduce overwhelm. By breaking down cleaning tasks into manageable steps and providing visual cues, children can learn to take care of their surroundings and experience a sense of accomplishment. Sara and Danielle stress the significance of teaching this skill early on, as it positively influences children's mental health and fosters a peaceful and safe environment.

  • 57 - (208) We Aren't Teaching Kids Actual Problem-Solving Skills (and what to do about it)

    In this episode, Sara Olsher and Danielle Bettmann discuss teaching kids problem-solving skills and helping kids manage overwhelm as protective factors that help children avoid mental health crises. A few points:

    Teachers and school counselors also struggle with differentiating between a big deal and a little deal when addressing children's problems. Imagining the problem as a piece of paper and throwing it in the trash can is not an effective problem-solving technique for children. Executive function skills are necessary for effective problem solving, and assumptions that children already know how to do it can create confusion and frustration. Children come to adults for help because they do not know what to do, so dismissing them is not helpful. Teaching children alternatives, options, and how to handle problems themselves is essential for their long-term problem-solving skills.
