The biggest factor that will eliminate you having to yell at your child, is creating an atmosphere of cooperation and eliminating the need to yell.
As a child who had a Dad that would yell often, Celia learned early on the devastating affects of growing up in a house where there is a lot of yelling and negativity. Kids that grow up in that environment, lack confidence in themselves and have an extremely low self-worth.
Dr. Celia is on a mission to stop 1,000,000 parents from yelling at their kids!

We ALL need to take care of our mental health. Tina Hallock and Serena Ward are on a mission to normalize the conversation around mental health.
Mental health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being and should be given attention for several reasons.
Our home is where we spend a significant amount of our time, and it can have a considerable impact on our mental health. Creating a supportive and nurturing environment at home can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and promote positive mental health.
Tina, although trained as a teacher, has held many odd jobs as she and her family have traipsed across the US. No job has taught her more in the last 26 years than being a mama to her children. She is a dog lover, a knitter and crusader to normalize mental health.
While Serena has worked in a variety of different roles over the years, the one that she is most proud of is that of mama to three beautiful girls. All other credentials aside, it is the experience of knowing what it’s like to have a child who struggles, that she brings to her work as a Mental Health Mama. In addition, she is a believer in the goodness of humanity and a champion of hope.
Mental Health Mamas Tina and Serena with Dr. Karin Jakubowski discuss how family members and loved ones can play a crucial role in supporting each other's mental health. By fostering open communication, empathy, and understanding at home, we can create a safe and supportive space where we can share our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or stigma.
