10 Best Articles of the Year for Supporting a Child’s Emotional Well-Being

Inside: Here are the top 10 most talked-about articles on Parents with Confidence that will help you raise a child with emotional well-being.

With every year comes more public awareness that how we interact with our child each day as parents, has the potential to steer them toward a future of emotional well-being. What exactly is the payoff of raising an emotionally healthy child and why should you care?

Raising emotionally healthy kids means turning the tides on the skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression in our young children.

It means providing a child with emotional intelligence skills so they are able to cope with the ups and downs of life instead of turning to self-medication and unhealthy coping mechanisms such as food, alcohol, drugs or self-harm.

It means equipping your child with the communication and conflict resolution skills that will pay off on the playground in 3rd grade and when their marriage is hanging on by a thread decades down the road.

It means encouraging healthy self-confidence and self-esteem by using a firm but also respectful approach when speaking to them, avoiding ineffective and damaging tactics of shame, criticism, and negativity.

It means giving your child the opportunity to be self-sufficient so you don’t end up in their college dorm room and on the phone with their Chem 101 professor.

Emotional well-being is the bedrock of a meaningful and fulfilled life for your child.

Supporting your child in building the skills of emotional well-being is the best gift you could ever give them and is the primary mission of Parents with Confidence.
