    🔥 What you'll learn in this episode:

    • The red flags of emotional distress in children

    • Why "tough love" doesn't always work

    • How to create safe spaces for kids to open up

    • The surprising link between academic pressure and anxiety

    • What every adult can do TODAY to be part of the solution
