Yeah. The first thing I just want to say about prioritizing young people's mental health is like the rehumanizing. Of every relationship that they have to an adult, that is an important affecting relationship. They are affected by how that adult treats them. And that adult is affected by how they are treated as well. But we want our kids to be surrounded by a community of caring adults. And that is worth fighting for. That is worth making shifts for because. I think that we are at a time when we are making decisions about our kids that are life saving Life extending and life giving.
I'm Debbie Rieber and welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. On this show, we've talked about the effect that the pandemic has had on our kids. We've talked about the youth mental health crisis. We've talked about the complexities of our kids developing their identity online. It's 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 uncertain? Certainty. My guest today, Stephanie Malia Krauss, is here to answer those questions and more.
Stephanie is an educator, social worker, and leading voice on what kids need to thrive in times of crisis and change. She's the author of the new book, Whole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive, and the book Making It, What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World, which she talked with us. About a few years ago when she was first on this show. Stephanie's work has been featured on MPR, PBS, Insider, and she is a senior fellow with the Saris Institute for Children and Youth at Boston University and Education Northwest. I 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, or a mentor. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Hey Stephanie, welcome back to the podcast. Debbie, I'm so excited to be back with
you.
I'm excited to dive into your awesome new book. I just want to say before we even get started, I did read your bio, but Listeners, if you haven't heard my conversation with Stephanie the first time she was on the podcast, which was during like the height of the pandemic at this point, but it was about Stephanie's book called Making It, which is such a fascinating look at what our kids really need. To grow up to be adults who can thrive in this ever-changing world. So definitely go back and listen to that. I'll have a link in the show notes. But we are going to be talking about your new book, Stephanie, today, which is called Whole Child, Whole Life. But could you bridge the gap for us from our last conversation and what has changed in your world and led to you really feeling compelled to write this next book and get it out into the world?
Yeah, absolutely. So for folks who haven't listened to that first conversation, I'll just share that before coming on the podcast the first time, Debbie. As you know, I was a longtime listener with my husband. This is his podcast of choice when he's out mowing the lawn and a space to like prompt important parenting conversations because we have two differently wired kits.
