In this episode, I am honored to have Keri Cooper on the show. Keri is a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for holistic psychotherapy for children and adolescents. During our discussion Keri shares her insights on the unique challenges faced by midlife parents of adolescents and emerging adults, and how a holistic approach can be beneficial in meeting these challenges. We also discuss the importance of helping children develop coping skills and emotional well-being and how parents can navigate situations where their children might resist holistic approaches. Keri also discusses the balance between personal growth and parenting responsibilities during midlife. Next, we discuss the role of nutrition in the emotional health of ourselves and our family members. Keri provides practical advice on simple nutritional changes that can positively impact the emotional well-being of our adolescent emerging adult children. We also explore the importance of communication and connection between parents and their adolescent and emerging adult children, with Keri offering strategies to maintain strong relationships during this transitional phase. It is a great conversation for us midlfers seeking to support our children’s emotional health and foster a strong parent-child connection during the challenging phase of adolescence and emerging adulthood.
