- Educazione dei figli
Welcome to the Parenting Well podcast with Parent Engagement Network! I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host. And today, you are listening to Parenting Well, where we know that parenting well is challenging and that all parents are the best parents they know how to be.
Today's Well Source is Jenny Hecht. Jenny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Teacher with over 20 years of experience working with middle and high school-aged youth and adults in a variety of settings. Her practice is grounded in strengthening distress tolerance skills through mindfulness practices and a supportive examination of the thought patterns that limit an individual's potential. Her approach is relational and client-centered, with a focus on the specific goals of each individual and working in partnership towards them. She has a passion for supporting the social-emotional needs of neurodivergent individuals and consulting with professionals who work with this population. Jenny participates in expert panels, provides workshops and parent presentations, professional development within school districts, and is a trainer for a curriculum called Sources of Strength. She also sits on the Board of Directors for Colie's Closet, a non-profit peer education organization that educate students about depression and suicide.
In this podcast, we talked about:
What it means to feel safe and secure and how that has changed over the years
Parenting in a world with endless access to information
Being vulnerable and transparent to create trust and connection with children
Enjoying the parts of life you can control
Strategies for articulating emotions and self-regulation
Finding meaning in the day-to-day and not just the long game.
