They Need to Be Seen Before They Need a Solution: How Your Presence Can Become a Lifeline
In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore what struggling teenagers need when they finally reach out to an adult. They discuss the importance of noticing changes, responding to emotion with emotion, listening before trying to solve the problem, and following up so kids know they were genuinely heard. Parents and caring adults will be encouraged to set distractions aside and intentionally remind children they are wanted and important, strengthening the security, identity, belonging, and purpose that help kids understand why their lives matter.
