Dr. Russell Ledet

Welcome to a space for honest conversations about parenting, teenagers, mental health, healing, faith, family, and growth.

I’m Dr. Russell J. Ledet (Dr. RJ)—a physician-scientist, U.S. Navy veteran, husband, father, and physician completing Triple Board training in Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

On this channel, we talk about raising emotionally healthy children, understanding child and teenager behavior, emotional regulation, relationships, resilience, and how to communicate with the people we love. I also share lessons from my own journey—from poverty and military service to medicine, fatherhood, and the wisdom my grandmother taught me about treating God’s people right.

Whether you are a parent, teenager, educator, or someone trying to grow—this space is for you.
