Kids’ Mental Health + Parenting: Routine, Discipline, and Healing at Home | Briyon Minor

Описание: Parenting doesn’t come with a manual — and for many of us, especially Black families and single mothers, we’re trying to raise emotionally healthy children while healing ourselves at the same time.

In this powerful episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I’m joined by Briyon Minor, LAPC, a licensed associate professional counselor based in Atlanta, for an honest and necessary conversation about parenting styles, children’s mental health, and breaking generational cycles.

We talk about what’s really happening inside our homes — how discipline is different from punishment, why routine matters, how trauma shows up later in life, and how we can raise emotionally aware kids without fear-based parenting. Because the truth is: what happens in childhood doesn’t stay in childhood.

This episode is especially for:
Single mothers carrying it all
Parents navigating gentle vs. traditional discipline
Families wanting to raise emotionally healthy children
Adults healing childhood trauma while parenting

✨ Connection before correction
✨ Presence over perfection
✨ Healing homes create healed adults

⏱️ What We Cover
Parenting styles and their long-term impact
Gentle parenting vs. discipline
Burnout in single mothers
Early signs children may need mental health support
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, and emotional regulation

How to break generational cycles — starting with you
