In this episode of the famiily360 PODCAST pediatrician and adolescent specialist, Dr. Dzung Vo, describes ‘stress’ as a root cause of mental and physical health during teen years.

“Adolescence is a time when our kids need us the most,” says Dr. Vo, yet, while we try to help them manage stress, it can feel like they resist our care. In this interview, Dr. Vo explains the delicate dance between parents and teens; how we can take the lead without stepping on their toes. He also shares from his impactful book The Mindful Teen (impactful for all ages!) with principles and practices that welcome stress to fuel our resilience rather than rule our reality.
