The Verywell Mind Podcast’s“Friday Fix” is a short episode that features a quick, actionable tip or exercise to help you manage a specific mental health issue or concern.

When we talk aboutmental strength, we often think about adults who need mental muscle to get through tough times, likejob lossor a relationship issue. But the truth is, people of all ages need mental strength.

In fact, kids need mental strength more than ever right now. The pandemic has been rough on everyone, especially kids.

OurVerywell Mind surveyfound that 80% of parents say their kids are struggling with at least one of the 13 things I discuss in my new book:13 Things Strong Kids Do. My book teaches kids how to build mental muscle so they can think big, feel good, and act brave.

And while my book is written for kids, it’s important for the adults in their lives to reinforce the material. After all, kids often need a coach who is there with them in the moment. So when they’re tempted to give up or when they begin to doubt themselves, we can teach them how to apply the exercises to real-life situations.

So on today’s Friday Fix, I share the 13 things strong kids do and some strategies you can use to encourage your kids to develop these healthy habits now.

The Verywell Mind Podcast is available across all streaming platforms. If you like the show, pleaseleave us a review on Apple Podcasts.
