#stayalivenow Something I learned from Marshall Goldsmith is to occasionally ask your kids, "Going forward what can I do to be a better mom/dad if part of my responsibility is to set you up to have the best life possible when you turn 18? And why that?"

When you do this and they start to cry, realize that crying may be good for them, because it helps get the fear out (vs. staying in their head and causing them to feel panicky) and feel relief at not feeling so alone with it.

#stayalivenow Ask them what's the worst they can feel and how alone can they feel at those times. Then say, "Do whatever it takes to get my attention, because I don't want you to have to feel so alone at those times and whatever it is, we'll work it out."

#stayalivenow Try not to give advice or solutions unless they ask for them. Instead try to get them to talk about what something made them think/feel and want to immediately do. Then ask them, if that happens again, what would be a better thing to do and why that.

#stayalivenow Thx for sharing. A good practice to get into w very young children when reading bedtime story is ask them, "What was best & worst thing that happened today? What are you most excited and nervous about tomorrow?" Helps them to see how talking helps them feel better

#stayalivenow Oprah did segment on 60 mins where she learned how powerful it is as a parent to assume goodness in your child when they do something bad and ask them, "What happened to you that caused you to do that?" vs. "Why did you do that (bad thing)?"

A3: My son is 10, and since he was about 5, we've talked about mental health together. My #1 goal with him is for him to know that he can always talk to me about anything. In order for him to trust me, I have to make sure I don't snap on him when he does open up #stayalivenow

#stayalivenow In retrospect, I don't think my parents were mean spirited. I think they were very worried that any small bad thing could blow up into a big thing and that caused them to jump on them. They're both dead and I've been apologizing to both. Makes me feel better.

Being judged. I was afraid that if I told people what was going on in my mind, I'd be locked up in a psych ward #stayalivenow

A2: The thing I hated the most was when I'd try to have an honest conversation or question their authority on something, they'd say "because I'm the parent". #stayalivenow

A1: my experience was mostly out of fear of what they’d do or prevent me from doing. I “opened up” more so because I thought it was what they wanted to hear, not necessarily about what was really going on. #StayAliveNow

#stayalivenow Let's say they don't open up because they're afraid. What do you think they're afraid of?
