ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
In this episode of the Mindful Mama Podcast, Hunter Clarke-Fields talks with child and adolescent mental health clinician, educator, and award-winning author Anna Housley Juster, PhD, LICSW, about helping children build emotional resilience through connection, validation, and gentle cognitive reframing.
Anna shares practical tools parents can use during everyday moments—from meltdowns to worries to difficult transitions—to help children recognize emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. Together they explore how parents can validate feelings while also teaching children that thoughts aren't always facts.
You'll also hear why repairing after mistakes is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children—and why it's never too late to reconnect.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why validating emotions doesn't mean validating every thought
How mirroring helps children feel seen, safe, and understood
When to shift from emotional validation into gentle problem-solving
The difference between feelings and the stories we tell ourselves
Practical ways to help children reframe anxious thinking
How your own nervous system shapes your child's emotional regulation
Why repair is always possible—even years later
Everyday ways to build emotional resilience in young children
