In this episode of the Raising Resilience Podcast, host Sara and parenting coach Danielle Bettmann discuss the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment for children's mental health.

By breaking down cleaning tasks into manageable steps and providing visual cues, children can learn to take care of their surroundings and experience a sense of accomplishment.

(208) We Aren't Teaching Kids Actual Problem-Solving Skills (and what to do about it)
Raising Resilience
03/25/23 • 13 min
In this episode, Sara Olsher and Danielle Bettmann discuss teaching kids problem-solving skills and helping kids manage overwhelm as protective factors that help children avoid mental health crises. A few points:
- Teachers and school counselors also struggle with differentiating between a big deal and a little deal when addressing children's problems.
- Imagining the problem as a piece of paper and throwing it in the trash can is not an effective problem-solving technique for children.
- Executive function skills are necessary for effective problem solving, and assumptions that children already know how to do it can create confusion and frustration.
- Children come to adults for help because they do not know what to do, so dismissing them is not helpful.
- Teaching children alternatives, options, and how to handle problems themselves is essential for their long-term problem-solving skills.

A few years ago, I talked with my daughter's third grade teacher about the schools social emotional learning program. She shared that kids were really opposed to use the deep breathing exercises — until the school counselor visited the classroom to explain how deep breathing literally changes what's going on in your brain. After that, not only were the students open to deep breathing exercises, but so was she!
Understanding the WHY behind different coping skills is absolutely necessary - because otherwise, we aren't super likely to use them.
This week we're talking about how the nervous system works, how to explain that to your kids, and more about why that's so helpful.
