Eliza Huie - ”Raising Emotionally Healthy Kids”

In a world where anxiety and depression are on the rise, it seems nearly impossible to raise kids that know how to handle their emotions and respond to the world around them.  I sit down with Eliza Huie, Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church in Virginia, to discuss what it looks like to raise emotionally healthy kids.

Key Points:

Really Young - Give them words for their emotions; not just correction

Young - Give them ways to regulate; by co-regulating

Teens - Give them options

ALL - Help them see that God is present and cares about it all (the highs AND the lows)
