by Asher Witmer  - March 20, 2025

As a dad of five, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to nurture strong mental health in my kids. In this video, I share three essential truths that children need to hear every day—truths that shape their identity, sense of belonging, and purpose.

These insights come from my own journey, my studies in emotional health, and what I wish I had known earlier. If you’re a parent or mentor, I hope this encourages you! Let’s raise emotionally healthy kids together.
