Season 1 | Episode 3 | Help Your Kids … with Scary Topics | Help Your Kids Podcast

Welcome to another episode of Help Your Kids, the parenting podcast that helps you navigate the real-life stuff, especially when it gets hard to talk about.

In this episode, your hosts Dr. Mish Seabrook and Shelley Smith tackle some of the hardest but most important conversations parents face. These topics can feel overwhelming, even scary, but we gently guide you through how to talk about them in a way that feels safe and respectful.

Here’s what to expect in this powerful episode:

• Why normalizing difficult conversations is essential to building trust and emotional safety
• How to reassure your kids that it's okay to feel big feelings, and that no emotion is "wrong"
• Removing shame and conflict so that your child feels comfortable coming to you with the hard stuff
• How to help your kids build a healthy emotional toolkit, including coping strategies that create a “buffer zone” between their thoughts and their actions.

And equally as important, we offer support for YOU as the parent, because these conversations can be triggering, vulnerable, and emotionally exhausting.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to show up, open-hearted and willing to keep the door open.

New episodes drop every other Monday, so you can start your week with more clarity, calm, and connection. Catch us wherever you stream your podcasts.
