Embrace Confusion: A Key to Your Child's Growth with Dr. Fasano

In a world where we are trying to minimize discomfort of our kids as much as possible and trying to just promote an easy road to making them feel better quickly at the detriment of long term, make sure you are promoting a safe environment.
Feeling confused isn't always a bad thing, especially for kids. Dr. Christopher Fasano, host of 'The Better Mental Health Show', dives into why confusion is actually essential for your child's mental and emotional development. In this episode, titled 'Embrace Confusion', Dr. Fasano tackles the common parental instinct to immediately solve problems for their children. While it might seem helpful, this approach can hinder their ability to develop crucial problem-solving skills.
Instead, he suggests creating a safe space where kids can express their confusion and work through it themselves. Dr. Fasano shares a personal story about guiding his son through a tricky social situation, highlighting the importance of open communication and support. By allowing children to face and navigate their confusion, parents can help them build resilience and independence. This episode is a must-listen for parents looking to foster stronger, more capable kids.
