Children’s Mental Health: Building Emotional Safety and Resilience with Dr. Faye Poole

Children’s Mental Health: Building Emotional Safety and Resilience with Dr. Faye Poole


Children’s mental health is frequently discussed only when something feels "wrong," but what if it’s actually something we support through our daily relationships? In this episode of Dam Parenting, resident child psychologist Dr. Faye Poole provides a warm, honest, and direct perspective on emotional wellbeing. Moving away from labels and fear-mongering, we explore how connection acts as the ultimate protective factor against the stresses of international life.

We dive into the science of how stress affects a child’s body and the research-backed ways parents can "buffer" that impact through simple routines and emotional attunement. This conversation is a vital reminder for expat parents that you don’t need to be perfect to be a "safe harbor" for your child. We also provide a clear roadmap for navigating the Dutch healthcare system—from the Huisarts to the Ouder- en Kindteam (OKT)—so you know exactly where to turn when you need extra support.
