Most parents will eventually face the day when their young kid admits that they have a crush or someone has a crush on them. Many parents feel anxious and unequipped for the conversations that may need to follow. Dr. John and Dr. Morgan are a father-daughter team, and they are in a really unique position to discuss this often-overlooked area of how parents can engage with their elementary kids about their crushes... and yes, they said “elementary” kids! They discuss how to engage young kids in meaningful conversations when their child shares that either they have a crush, or someone has a crush on them. And it was these types of conversations that happened between Dr. John and Dr. Morgan when Morgan was growing up that are the genesis of many of the helpful concepts they share in this podcast.
