In this episode of TIPS, hosts Ashlie and Gilbert are joined by Dr. John Townsend himself as they talk with Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen is a world-renowned psychiatrist, best-selling author, founder of The Amen Clinics, and is also one of the Townsend Institute Fellows. Dr. Amen shares insights from his decades of research on brain health and development, particularly focusing on strategies from his latest book, Raising Mentally Strong Kids. He stresses the importance of helping children fall in love with their brains by teaching them to ask, “Is this good for my brain or bad for it?" Dr. Amen also gives us practical tips for fostering competent and resilient kids, including the powerful concept of what he calls “special time.” Listen in and learn from how to cultivate deeper bonds and stronger character by understanding the brain's central role in everything you do. Let’s get started!
