Season 1 | Episode 4 | Help Your Kids … with Mental Health | Help Your Kids Podcast

Welcome back to Help Your Kids, the podcast that helps you navigate the tricky parts of parenting.

In this episode, your hosts Dr. Mish Seabrook and Shelley Smith, dive into a topic that can feel daunting, but doesn't have to be. Just like we check in on cuts and colds, bumps and bruises, it’s time we start checking in on our kids' mental wellbeing.

Here’s what you can expect from this thoughtful and practical conversation:

• Why normalising mental health conversations will help break the stigma
• How your body language, tone, and physical presence can make a bigger impact than the words themselves
• Why active, side-by-side conversations (like while driving or walking) can create a more comfortable space for honesty
• The power of saying “I don’t know what to say, but I’m here” - and why that’s often enough

As always, we’re here for you, too - because showing up for your child’s mental health can bring up a lot of feelings for you as a parent. And that’s okay. You don’t need to be a therapist, just someone who listens without judgment and keeps the conversation going.

New episodes drop every other Monday, helping you start your week with more clarity, calm, and connection.
