Dr. Caroline Fenkel, LCSW - Helping Your Teen in Recovery During the Holidays #1636
Dr. Caroline Fenkel, LCSW, joins us for the full hour with some words of wisdom for how to talk to our teens during the holidays, especially if they suffer from addiction or from another mental disorder. Dr. Fenkel’s number one piece of advice for parenting a teen? Listen to them. If you have a hard time listening rather than lecturing, she suggests sitting on your hands when you’re talking to your teen. It keeps you from lecturing and helps you to listen. And, if you have serious concerns about your teen’s mental health, seek out a professional for a mental health check. You can get a free assessment at CharlieHealth.com, which Dr. Fenkel co-founded and is Chief Clinical Officer.
