Do you want to know how to stop your guilt cycle?

Do you want to know how to build positive mental strength?

Today, let's welcome back renowned psychiatrist and brain disorder specialist Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen known for his work as the director of the Amen Clinics and a bestselling author, having written numerous books on brain health and wellness, and has also produced television programs promoting his theories on brain health. 

Dr. Amen talks about mindful parenting, ways you can set goals with your children and nurturing their ability to think independently. He shares a simple 20-minute practice to deepen your connection with your child, and understand the pivotal role of boundaries in their development. 

Let's understand how critical it is when children retreat into themselves and offer strategies to mend and strengthen the fragile threads of parent-child bonds. Dr. Amen challenges the practice of labeling children as 'smart' and instead, focuses on cultivating their problem-solving skills and shed light on the often-overlooked emotional burdens our actions can place on our kids, from the subtleties of attachment to the complexities of misunderstanding them.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to empower kids through responsibility

How to build mental strength

How to foster problem-solving in children

How to implement loving discipline

How to instill the value of hard work on kids

This conversation will help you better understand the hacks of raising well-rounded, resilient, and loving individuals in today's fast-paced world. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
