    LISTENER FAVORITE: Addressing the Children’s Mental Health Crisis with Dr. Ariana Hoet

    Over the next few months, I’ll be mixing in some of our earlier Motherhood Meets Medicine interviews with new episodes. These ‘best of’ episodes are the most shared and listened to episodes of all time! Here is today’s featured episode with Dr. Daryl Johnson, listen as she discusses keeping the spark alive after kids. Over the past two and a half years, we’ve been living in a pandemic. This has impacted our children in so many ways, particularly the state of their mental health. As we continue to see a rise in mental health concerns with children, we have to collectively pay attention to this crisis, and determine how we can offer support. When a child's mental health is impacted in a way that is harmful to themselves or those around them, it can be challenging to alter that behavior or even discuss it. Dr. Hoet is on the podcast today to discuss how we can help our child who has a mental health disorder, or strong emotions, and how we can work through them. Ariana Hoet, PhD, is the clinical director of On Our Sleeves and a pediatric psychologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Dr. Hoet is deeply passionate about making sure everyone has a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible and that people of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated. Her personal experience as an immigrant from Maracaibo, Venezuela, has helped to fuel that passion. Becoming a psychologist and working in the health field only increased her understanding of the importance of working toward inclusion and equity in our society. She hopes to further the mission of On Our Sleeves by providing inclusive resources helpful to all adults caring for children. In today's episode we also discuss how we can help a child who is feeling thoughts of suicide or other harmful emotions, and the best ways to go about being there for them. In this episode we discuss: The pandemic being a chronic stressor. Why Dr. Hoet started On Our Sleeves. How to validate a child's heavy emotions. Details of "Operation Conversation". Reviewing warning signs if our child is feeling suicidal.

    LISTENER FAVORITE: Gun Violence Statistics and How Changes Can be Made with Violence Epidemiologist, Dr. Katelyn Jetelina

    Over the next few months, I’ll be mixing in some of our earlier Motherhood Meets Medicine interviews with new episodes. These ‘best of’ episodes are the most shared and listened to episodes of all time! Here is today’s featured episode with Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, listen as she talks about gun violence and the changes that need to be made. Gun violence has become a devastating problem in the United States. To put it into perspective, there’s about 120 firearms per 100 people in the United States. It may feel like we have no control over making changes, but there are steps that we can take. The number one place to start is educating ourselves about gun violence. We need to know more about it, and understand how we can reduce these fatalities in our everyday culture. We all want to make our country safer for our children and for ourselves. That’s why I’m bringing Dr. Katelyn Jetelina on the podcast. In this episode Dr. Katelyn Jetelina and I discuss statistics, demographics of shooters, how the stats in the United States compares to other countries, and so much more.  Dr. Katelyn Jetelina is a violence epidemiologist, biostatistician, wife, and mom of two little girls. During the day she works at a nonpartisan health policy think tank and is engaged as a scientific communication consultant by the CDC, and at night she writes an independent newsletter called Your Local Epidemiologist, which covers a wide array of public health topics including gun violence. In this episode we discuss: The definition of what a mass shooting is. Why the United States is higher in gun violence than many other countries it’s often compared to. What the purpose of the leakage plans are. The most common motivation behind shootings. Whether or not the effect of Roe V Wade will play into more gun violence in the future.  What individuals can do to help reduce gun violence.

    The Importance of Risky Play with Dr. Mariana Brussoni

    Children are safer today than they have ever been in history, but is that a good thing? What skills and experiences are they losing out on if they’re not exploring the world around them in a way that requires thought and risk?  Dr. Mariana Brussoni is here to share more about this exact phenomenon.  Dr. Brussoni is a Professor at the University of British Columbia, Director of the Human Early Learning Partnership, and Investigator at the British Columbia Children's Hospital Research Institute. She studies how to bring risky play back to children's lives. Her research focuses on understanding the effects of outdoor risky play on children and breaking down the barriers to children's access to these opportunities. Risky play does not necessarily mean dangerous play. Risky play is all about allowing children to experience the world without the ever watchful eyes of their parents. Providing opportunities for them to navigate challenges on their own, outside, with friends and grow into the adults they’re becoming. In this episode, we discuss:  What differentiates risky and dangerous play. The developmental benefits of risky play. How to find the balance between risky and safe play. How to expose your children to risky play. Connect with Mariana: Outside Play-https://www.outsideplay.org/ Questions:  What is risky play and why is it important? Why is it disappearing from children's lives? How do we find the balance between risk and safety? How do we bring back risky play? Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide medical advice.
