b"On this show, we\\u2019ve talked about the effect that the pandemic has had on our kids, we\\u2019ve talked about the youth mental health crisis, we\\u2019ve talked about the complexities of our kids developing their identity online. It\\u2019s clear that our kids are growing up in a time with unique challenges and very different from when we were kids and adolescents. So how can we help our children to truly thrive even in the face of so much disruption and uncertainty? My guest today, Stephanie Malia Krauss, is here to answer those questions and more.\\xa0\\nI enjoyed this conversation so much, and especially the thoughtfulness with which Stephanie explores how our kids are experiencing their childhood and what it takes for them to grow up healthy and whole. We explored mental health, hope, resilience, identity, and so much more. This is a must-listen to episode for anyone who has the privilege of being a safe adult in the life of any child, whether you're a parent, a teacher, a coach, amentor.\\xa0\\nI hope you enjoy our conversation.\\n\\xa0\\nAbout Stephanie Malia Krauss\\nStephanie Malia Krauss is an educator, social worker, and leading voice on what kids need to thrive in times of crisis and change.
