Navigating the turbulent waters of your child's 20s can be challenging, especially as they face significant uncertainty in their lives. In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Dr. Meg Jay, a developmental clinical psychologist, author, speaker and mom.
Dr. Jay emphasizes the importance of understanding this decade as a critical period for mental health and emotional well-being. With societal milestones shifting later in life, parents must adapt their expectations and focus on fostering independence and resilience in their young adults.
This episode dives into key trends affecting today's 20-somethings, including the impact of social media, device usage, and the importance of communication regarding consent and relationships. By adopting a coaching mindset rather than a concierge approach, parents can better support their children in building identity capital and navigating the complexities of adulthood, while also addressing the hormonal, physical, and emotional health challenges they may encounter.
Takeaways:
Understanding that uncertainty defines the 20s is crucial for both parents and their children. Parents should help their 20-somethings by fostering independence, rather than doing everything for them. The 20s are often marked by significant hormonal changes that affect emotional and mental health. Encouraging open communication about relationships and consent can empower young adults greatly. Social media plays a major role in the lives of 20-somethings and can impact mental health. Parents should focus on problem-solving techniques with their children rather than panicking in uncertain times.Links referenced in this episode:

In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Dr. David Rosmarin, clinical psychologist, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, founder of the Center for Anxiety, author and father of six .
Anxiety is not an enemy to be eliminated but rather a natural part of life that can be embraced and harnessed for growth, according to Dr. Rosemarin, who distills the alarming rise of anxiety in society, particularly among youth, and challenges the unrealistic expectation of living an anxiety-free life.
He shares insights from his own experiences during the pandemic, highlighting how vulnerability and open communication can strengthen relationships and resilience. With practical advice from his latest book, "Thriving with Nine Tools to Make Your Anxiety Work for You," Dr. Rosemarin emphasizes the importance of recognizing the difference between clinical anxiety and normal emotional responses.
This conversation explores how parents can better support their children through anxiety and also encourages a shift in perspective toward viewing anxiety as a tool for personal development.
Takeaways:
The expectation of an anxiety-free life contributes significantly to the anxiety epidemic today. Normal anxiety can be beneficial, helping us to grow and develop resilience in life. Parents should recognize that children's anxiety often reflects normal emotional development and stress responses. Open communication about anxiety within the family fosters closeness and acceptance of feelings. Integrating spirituality can help individuals and families navigate stress by promoting acceptance.
