Introducing Teaching Kids Self-Compassion to Support Mental Health | Kelli Joy Richardson & Dr. Kristin Neff from Raising Us: A Parenting Podcast. Follow the show: Raising Us: A Parenting Podcast Raising resilient kids and understanding how to support their mental health often starts with their self-esteem and self-compassion. Host Elise Hu revisits two empowering conversations to help parents understand how intertwined self-esteem and mental health are. First, Kelli Joy Richardson, founder of The SonRise Project, debunks common myths about mental health and shares practical tips on how to start conversations with your kids about their mental health, even when it feels too difficult or too late to do so. Then we hear from professor and educator Dr. Kristin Neff on how parents can help reframe where self-worth comes from. Dr. Neff offers ways to encourage our kids to practice self-compassion that are tactile, audible, or by example. Key Takeaways: Mental health is often linked to our self-image, self-esteem, and self-compassion. Acceptance, letting be, and communication are three pillars to supporting your kids. Start conversations with your kids, even when it feels difficult or too late to do so. Foster a sense of self-worth by comparing and contrasting less. Worth is dependent on self-compassion, not on success. ⏱️ Timestamps: Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guides: Mental Health: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/db4d68f2249368b3/ad84c8c03edddf8b Self-Esteem: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/e1bea0cf911a6b78/3f7d25b53f99ac38 Learn more about the SonRise Project: https://www.thesonriseproject.org Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neffselfcompassion   New episodes every Tuesday: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AKidsCo Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast/id1552286967 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2bIRVxM8hbriNxydkSv6VG Or wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗 START HERE 📌 Get free weekly conversation kits: https://akidsco.com/pages/raising-us 📌 Browse A Kids Co. books that pair with episodes: https://akidsco.com 📌 Follow Elise Hu: https://www.instagram.com/elisewho ABOUT THE SHOW Raising Us | Parenting Podcast for Kids, Tweens, & Conscious Caregivers Award-winning journalist Elise Hu (TED Talks Daily, Forever35) hosts Raising Us, a parenting podcast for grownups raising Big-Question Kids.

  • I think oftentimes parents overreact with, you know, we might find out a child is...

  • Self-harming, you know, and they'll overreact and say, we need to go to the hospital.

  • And that's not what the child needs.

  • They need to feel loved and cherished and seen and heard.

  • Parenting doesn't come with a script, but it does come with lots of questions.

  • I'm Elise Hughes, journalist, mom, and your host for Raising Us, a podcast from Akidsco.

  • Every week, we break down the big, timely topics so you can have honest,

  • meaningful conversations with your kid because these conversations matter.

  • Every time we show up for them or not just raising thoughtful kids.

  • We're raising us too.

  • Parenting today feels like navigating a constant shifting current of big emotions, social pressures, and digital noise.

  • I often look at my own kids and wonder

  • how they manage to hold it all together while growing up in such a demanding high-speed world.

  • It leaves me thinking about what makes them feel anchored, resilient, and secure when life can feel so overwhelming.

  • That's why today we're bringing you two conversations to help our kids navigate.

  • We are looking at the bridge between mental health and self-esteem and how we can support

  • our children as they move through both the big difficult moments and the quieter internal battles with self-worth.

  • Later on in this episode, we're going to turn to Dr. Kristin Neff.

  • She's an associate professor of educational psychology at the University of Texas at Austin,

  • where she's been studying self-compassion for more than 20 years.
