Seeing the Holidays Through Our Kids' Eyes: Insights from The Goodness Chick
“I do think we need to help them with that and limit some of that. Because what they're seeing out there is this display of everyone putting out all their happy pictures of who they're with, and there's that sense of inadequacy again that I can't live up to that.”
The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy and celebration, but for many kids, it can be a period of stress and sadness. In this episode of The Goodness Chick, host Erin Lawler Patterson teams up with Kristen Caputo, a high school Student Assistance Counselor, to shed light on the often-overlooked struggles that young people face during the festive season.
From financial worries to social media pressures, Kristen shares her firsthand experiences and offers practical advice on how parents, educators, and family members can better support children who are hurting. They discuss the importance of empathy, understanding, and focusing on the simple joys of giving rather than materialism. Whether you're a parent or just someone who cares about the well-being of kids, this episode provides valuable insights into making the holidays a bit brighter for everyone.
