Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with Dr. Daniel Amen, and Inside the Tragic "Rust" Set Shooting, with Rachel Mason | Ep. 1039
01 Apr 2025
Megyn Kelly is joined by Dr. Daniel Amen, author of "Raising Mentally Strong Kids," to talk about how parents are hurting their kids by helping them and doing so much for them, how it's actually a way for the parent to benefit rather than the kids, the keys to raising resilient kids, mistakes parents often make by coddling their children, the key factors of time and listening, how parents can stay involved responsibly in helping their kids when they're older, the dangers of social media, how to avoid raising dependent adult children, the need to notice kids and give positive affirmation rather than only paying attention to the negative, new ways of using brain scans to treat patients, and more. Then Rachel Mason, director of "Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna," joins to talk about what her friend cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was really like, the tragic "Rust" movie set shooting that took Halyna's life, why Halyna's family wanted to make sure the movie "Rust" was completed, how "Rust" is finally set to be released soon, why the film was "sad and painful" but also "magnificent" and well-made, how a live round could have gotten in the gun that Alec Baldwin shot that killed Halyna, all the mistakes that had to happen on the set to get to this point, the confusion on the set that day, how the shooting was like "fiction meeting reality," the guilt so many feel to this day, and more.Amen- https://www.amenclinics.com/Mason- https://www.instagram.com/futureclown/Jacked Up Fitness: Go to https://GetJackedUp.com and use code MK at checkout to save 10% off your entire purchaseBirch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

In our neighborhood, all the parents drop their kids off at the bus stop. Like what? Back in my day, we had to walk to the bus stop and wait for the... They sit in these beautiful SUVs and whatever.
You may think you're helping or being kind to your child and you are making the point that's a you thing. You're doing that to make yourself feel good and you are stealing something important from your kid in the process. Let's kick it off there.
