The Gospel of John records Jesus high priestly prayer in John 17 and indicates in part the mission of Jesus. John 17:6 says that Jesus manifested or revealed God the Father. Part of Christ's purpose on earth was to reveal who God was. God is revealed by Christ, by His Word, and by His people. Is your life making God known? -- Need accountability online?

Host: Dr. Tara EganCo-host: Anna, teen daughterTara and Anna are back once again with a great episode discussing "The Real Care Baby Project" and Sex Education. For her Child Development class, Anna did a project where she had to bring home a " Real Care Baby" for the weekend and take care of it as if it was an actual baby. Listen in as Anna and Tara both share the humorous and educational experience of having this "Real Care Baby" all weekend. Anna may have ended up in tears once and even brother Dylan got in on the fun!Listen is as we discuss:- What is the Real Care Baby Project? (This experience is much more than an immersion project, it is birth control!) - Anna's experience taking the baby to the gas station and having to fill up! - How Anna felt about the project and her thoughts of parenting.- How Grandma Tara forgot she was watching the baby for a moment and the many laughs she had throughout the weekend of watching Anna taking care of the baby.The second portion of the show they talk about teen pregnancy and high school students.You will learn that teen sex has decreased in the past few years, however teen pregnancy in black and Latino high school students has not decreased at all, and why that may be.How even though teens are healthy and strong, the fact is, teen moms are  more likely babies with  low birth rate, born pre-term, and with complicating health condition according WHO.Factors that reduce teen pregnancy rates:1) If teens are exposed to clearly presented fact based sex education free of messages of shame. Note: sex education varies state by state, can't say the word condom in some states, abstinence is the only approach taught. The messages kids receive from parents in the home environment varies as well. 2) Access to low cost contraception, specifically long acting reversible contraception, like IUD or implant - has  better efficacy and lower risk for error.Anna shares her perspective about sex education in school and how they taught the information. Tara shares some tips for parents about talking to their kids about sex, dispelling the notion that if they talk they about sex, kids will be more likely to be sexually active. In reality, studies have shown that it actually delays start of sexual relationships.

Host: Dr. Tara EganCo-host: Anna, teen daughterToday we are discussing characteristics of screen addiction in kids and teens. Do you suspect your child or teen has a screen addiction? Tune in as Tara and Anna discuss the warning signs. Screens, such as those associated with cell phones, tablets, computers, and videos games, are designed to elicit a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in our brain, which results in a euphoric feeling and drives us to spend more and more time on screens. Tara started off the discussion by sharing some general recommendations from the American Pediatric Association about screen time and kids. She shares the guidelines of screen time usage from 0-18 yrs old.We dive into:How Tara feels that Discord is not the best app for kids. How YouTube may be the most misunderstood app because it impacts kids ability to have sustained attention because everything is fast-moving, rolls from one video to the next, and each video is high-interest and brief. She offers suggestions on how parents can support their kids in maintaining their sustained attention, and expresses concerns about kids using technology as a self-soothing strategy.  She answers the question: who is most at risk for screen addiction?Symptoms of screen addiction:- Kids want to spend more time and even replace real life friends with online friends.- It is interfering with daily activities -not wanting to attend family dinner or shower, or get homework done. These kids often display moodiness or outbursts when asked to transition away from tech devices.  - They are showing emotional symptoms  - their conversations revolve around being away from their technology, they will say that screen time is the main activity that brings them happiness, and if they are not engaging in screen time, they will act resistant, unhappy and miserable. - Getting less physical exercise.- Disturbed sleep.- Conflict in the home and power struggles, including sneaky behavior, not respecting parental controls, and expressing resentment about technology time. - Strategies to reduce screen time are unsuccessful.If any of this information sounds like your kid (or even yourself), reach out to a professional. Remember, Tara provides coaching services to address this issue in kids younger than 13.Learn more about Dr. Tara Egan's therapy services RIGHT HERE.To learn more about Dr. Egan's online mini-course called "Managing Your Family's Technology and Social Media", created to help parents eliminate power struggles, keep your family safe from internet misuse, and reconnect with your family, please click RIGHT HERE.Learn more about Dr. Tara Egan's books, webinars, public speaking opportunities, and coaching/consultation services RIGHT HERE.If you'd like to join our weekly FREE parenting webinar, register HERE via zoom.

This week on episode 14 of our podcast "One Day You'll Thank Me", my teen-cohost (and daughter) and I are flying solo, and discussing virtual learning. We are both deeply involved in virtually learning right now because Anna is 100% remote learning and with my work as a therapist, I have worked with dozens of families over the past month experiencing life virtual learning as well . We are discussing the top tips to make virtually learning as successful as possible for parents and kids.  Anna shares the perspective from a teenager that is virtually learning.  -We discuss the challenges that she is encountering, how she feels about all of it, what she does when she feels overwhelmed, and also some tips for kids when they feel confused with directions given by the teacher or questions about the material.  We also share and discuss 5 specific tips and strategies that can be implemented now at home, to help support the overall virtual learning experience. - These include physical elements, taking breaks, how you as the parent interact with your kid during the school day, communicating with the teacher, etc.I want to recognize that of course every child is different and impacted by many variables, even though we are giving some general recommendations for virtual learning, we know that each situation is very different.

Cast:Dr. Tara Egan, child & adolescent therapist and hostAnna, teenage co-hostMuch of the content discussed in this episode on parenting styles incorporates research originally pioneered by Diana Baumrind from the 1960s. Subsequent research has supported and expanded upon her original work. As the episode progresses, Tara and Anna define each parenting style, describe the impact of these parenting styles on children's behavior and thought patterns, and provide relatable examples from real life and media.1) Authoritarian parenting style: strict, unresponsive to emotional content, quick to yell or punish, impatient, critical, condescending, inflexibleExamples: Red Foreman from That 70s Show, Richard Spier from The Babysitter's Club2) Permissive parenting style: most commonly seen in Dr. Egan's work with families, expectations for their child are low, overprotective of their child's emotional state, over-accommodating, has low demands for child, struggles to set boundaries with kids and maintain authority, cannot tolerate their child being uncomfortable (resulting in kids becoming unable to handle experiencing discomfort)Example: kids sleeping in their parent's bed when parents really don't want them to (this is a separate issue than co-sleeping), Regina George from Mean Girls, Lily VanderWoodsen from Gossip Girl3) Uninvolved parenting style: parents are less engaged, unresponsive to emotional cues, uninvested in the nuanced aspect of parenting, non-confrontational, appease their children in a disinterested way, superficial relationship with child, poor supervision (such as with social media), low demands for child which can impair the child's motivationExample: Selina Myers from Veep, Johnny and Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek4) Authoritative parenting style: most beneficial parenting style, parents account for kid's opinion but don't put children in the position of making adult decisions, demonstrates emotional responsiveness, fair & reasonable consequences that are followed through upon, allow kids to feel discomfort and help them cope, fosters a sense of competence in kids, factors in the word count of kids, finding balance between responsiveness and structure, using humor to connect, reinforcing positive behavior, taking into account their developmental stage and maturity level, guiding and supporting versus controlling or dismissiveHelpful phrases: "Accept the No" and "Word Count"Examples: the parents from Full House and Fuller House, Greg and Katie from American Housewife, Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls (sort of) This episode is sponsored by Eaton Press.

Cast: Dr. Tara Egan, hostAnna, teen co-hostImaginary audience, a term coined by David Elkind, refers to teens' tendency to feel that others are hyper-aware of how others view them. They feel judged or criticized by others (usually peers), and this causes them stress. This way of thinking is age-appropriate and typical during teen development.Tara shares several incidences from Anna's teenage years re: imaginary audience, and Anna recalls an episode from Friends that displays the degree of self-consciousness felt by those experiencing this concept.Personal fable, a term referring to teens' tendency to think that their experiences are different and unique (even mainstream activities). Oftentimes, these teens may interpret their circumstances are unique to the point where they are unlikely to experience "normal" consequences of behavior. However, this belief can bolster kids' ability to try something new and stressful. Tara and Anna discuss how personal fable may influence how teens cope with the stress of COVID-19.Some ways that parents can support their teen:1) Be patient.2) Validate emotions without indulging in irrational thinking.3) Encourage them to tune in to their environment. 4) Give them gentle reassurance.This episode is sponsored by Moe's Southwest Grill.

Cast: Dr. Tara Egan, hostAnna, teen co-hostErin Grujic, Occupational TherapistTara, Anna, and Erin (our guest expert) discuss:1. What is an occupational therapist? How do they support their clients?2. What is sensory integration? Erin notes that we have 7-8 sensory systems and some (or all) of these sensory systems can become easily overloaded, impacting our functioning if our brain misinterprets this sensory information as negative. If this happens, kids can get distressed, resulting in a fight-or-flight response that leads to crying, tantrums, covering their ears, refusing to participate, running away, or showing anger. Erin observes that quarantine--the disruption of routine--is contributing to an abbreviated "window of tolerance."Erin provides a helpful analogy about us all having a "cup" that needs to be filled with sensory information. If the cup isn't completely filled (kids are under-stimulated), kids can seek more input. If the cup is overflowing, kids can get overwhelmed easily and want to avoid sensory stimulation.3. How do kids develop sensory integration problems? Kids benefit from having parents who can be responsive to child's sensory needs.Tara discusses having to modify her parenting style with her son, as he demonstrated sensory sensitivity as an infant and toddler. He found loud noises and having sun in his eyes to be distressing. Tara relates to this, as she's also sensitive to loud noises, sun in her eyes, fans blowing on her, etc.4. Are kids with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, or ADHD more susceptible to sensory integration difficulties? Erin notes that it's essential to figure out the "function" of kids' behavior---what need are they trying to meet? For example, they may be seeking attention, sensory input, or avoidance of unpleasant tasks. We want kids have an increased "bandwidth" to tolerate sensory information.5. What strategies can parents use in the home environment to support their children's sensory development?    - recognizing triggers    - using strategies to increase their bandwidth, or tolerance, of these triggers so kids can        stay at their "just right" level     - make sure to PLAY with your kids; let them get messy and be a little bit risky    - help your kids co-regulate---adjust their environment to set the stage for success6. Do you ever feel that parents take it personally when their kids "misbehave" as the result of sensory issues?7. What are some indicators that can help determine whether it's necessary to consult an OT about your child's sensory issues?Erin notes that OT's can provide a comprehensive assessment to determine whether a child could benefit from intervention from an OT.You can find more information about Erin and her mobile clinic at Sensational Path.

Title: Ep 06 - The Truth About LyingCast:Dr. Tara Egan (host)Anna (teen cohost)Dr. Tara Egan and Anna discuss lying---why kids lie and how parents can address it. Anna agrees that everyone lies from time to time. Tara shares a common lie she's told in order to reassure clients that they shouldn't feel self-conscious about the state of their home when she conducts a home visit. Tara encourages Anna to reveal all her big lies on air, but Anna denies that she has ever told "huge lies."Top Reasons Why Kids Lie:1) To get out of trouble2) To avoid something unpleasant3) To avoid shame or embarrassment4) To protect privacy or keep a secret5) To try to control what others' opinions are of them6) To protect their safetyTara encourages her brother, Kevin, to confess to the lie he (probably) told when they were children. Lying is a complex form of communication. It's simplistic to say, "lying is always wrong," as lying can be functional and it's often role modeled by parents. Parents have to set the tone as to what the family culture is when it comes to telling small lies. Help kids be truthful from the start. Don't "set a trap" for them to lie and then be angry when they do. Avoid triggering defensiveness and be direct about what you know. And parents may have a different version of the truth than their child, and they both can be right.Anna asks, "Is it better to have a bunch of little lies, or a couple of big lies?"This episode is sponsored by Moe's Southwest Grill.

Cast:Dr. Tara Egan, hostAnna, teen co-hostMichelle McAnaney, Educational Consultant, owner of "The College Spy"Discussion: How to best support your kids in their quest to meet their college goals.Michelle McAnaney is the owner of the The College Spy, college admission consultation services designed to help students prepare, apply, and choose their "best-fit" college. DISCUSSION POINTS:What areas should 8th, 9th, and 10th graders be focusing on at this point in their academic career? Michelle describes the concepts of "grades" and "rigor."What role does extracurricular activities and test scores play in the college application process? While colleges are most most interested in grades and rigor, other factors also matter. Michelle recommends that students review the "Common Data Set", a resource that provides information about what factors each college stresses when evaluating a college application.Michelle recommends that students participate in activities that are meaningful to them. "Well-rounded" isn't necessary desired---it's about becoming a "pointy" student--activities are centered around a theme, or a primary interest. Quality over quantity, she says.Sometimes students aren't able to participate in traditional school-based activities, but instead have responsibilities related to caring for siblings, religious obligations, or after-school jobs. There is an optional section on the application called "additional information," and this may be an appropriate place to share information about these life circumstances.Are colleges looking at students' social media content? Yes, over 35% of colleges look at social media accounts, and this information can help students present themselves in a favorable light. Michelle recommends LinkedIn as a helpful tool to network. How should students best determine what they should study in college? Michelle recommends that students should stay open-minded and learn about all fields. New jobs and fields of study are being created all the time, so studying a liberal arts curriculum may prepare you well for any field later on. Heading into college without a clear understanding of a career path is fine---a comprehensive education will help you find the right fit.How can parents support their kids (but not do it for them)? Every student is different with regard to brain development and maturity. Some struggle more with executive functioning skills than others. But parents have to recognize that they will have a minimal role in their child's education once they begin college, so pulling back is essential. What should students avoid? Students should be mindful of what they post on social media, as colleges will rescind their invitation. Students can make mistakes, but they must show that they've learned and grown.This episode is sponsored by Sparent, a company that "helps ambitious women create time to grow their amazing companies."

Cast: Dr. Tara Egan, host         Dylan, middle school boy and Dr. Egan's sonIn this bonus episode, Dr. Egan interviews Dylan, her middle-school aged son. Quarantine is still firmly in place, as COVID-19 cases in North and South Carolina are still rising at an alarming rate. Dylan reflects on his technology and video game usage during quarantine, noting that his time is limited, although time can be earned by having a productive day---participating in sports, finishing chores, and having a good attitude. He admits that he has a hard time entertaining himself without the use of technology but agrees that he has never been permitted to have unrestricted usage.Dylan shares that he's been educated on how technology can "hurt your brain," and admits that his mood is impacted by gaming, especially if he loses. Winning video games feels good, but he realizes that he's never going to be good enough at Fortnite to "go pro," as his parents don't allot him enough time on the Xbox to get the practice he'd need. Dr. Egan and Dylan discuss the role of video games and violence, noting that although kids who are more aggressive are attracted to violent video games, research hasn't determined causality. Dylan states that he does spend a lot of time looking forward to gaming, as winning tournaments is fun. Together, Dr. Egan and Dylan think of ideas that kids can do in lieu of video games. Dr. Egan asserts that as long as gaming is given as a choice, kids will choose it nearly every time. Because Dylan's time gaming is limited, he's compelled to plan his gaming time with friends. Because the Circle with Disney is used to limit Dylan's time gaming, he can't "sneak it" and accepts that once gaming time is over for the day, family time begins. Dylan is cheerful, pleasant, respectful, successful in school, and easy-going, so Dr. Egan feels pretty good about the gaming policies in their home.As far as social media goes, Dylan isn't super interested in it. He says that some of his friends have abandoned gaming for social media and "talking to girls," but says that he's not motivated to follow strangers on Instagram just to have more followers. Lastly, Dylan offers some advice to other kids who love gaming and need help with avoiding frustration when it's time to put down the controller.This episode is sponsored by Moe's Southwest Grill.

Cast: Dr. Tara Egan, host, child & adolescent therapist, parent coach & authorAnna, her teen co-host Ashley Francis, licensed therapist, on-line coach for teens and women experiencing anxietyDuring today's discussion, we explore high-achieving anxiety, a concept familiar to all three women.How is anxiety defined?  Ashley notes that anxiety is a natural response to stress, and it inspires us to remain safe, concentrate, and persist with tasks. It helps us increase self-awareness and attend to pain points. But sometimes anxiety is unproductive--it works against us for causing us to feel badly about ourselves (the "not enoughs"). Dr. Egan shares that she often uses a number line with her clients to help determine whether clients are apathetic (1-3), in the "just right" range (4-7), or entirely too anxious (8-10). Ashley reports that if someone is in the too anxious range most days of the week for weeks on end, a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder may be warranted.Do parents glorify anxiety? Do we need to feel like we need to peddle faster and be on high-alert to feel like we're doing enough? And do we fail to ask for help when needed because we want to appear successful and competent, despite feeling worried or overwhelmed internally?Anna notes that in high school, some peers initially appear to have it all together but then fret and fall apart later. She wonders if high-achievers seek out other high-achievers. Ashley says yes, because "like attracts like."High-achieving anxiety can be helpful-- it drives you, makes you more productive, and can have positive outcomes. But it can also be a burden, because it can be isolating and overwhelming at times. Teens can fall into care-taking or peace-keeping roles as they often come from families with at least one high-achieving parent. Tara discusses the "curse of the competent woman," ---a woman who is competent, calm, and detail-oriented, inspiring people to rely on that woman extensively and making it difficult for her to show vulnerability.Ashley counsels the audience to "know your truth" so we can identify when it's time to advocate for ourselves, speak up to express our needs, and harness our self-esteem. While Tara indicates that she's not plagued with self-doubt as an adult, she recalls experiencing those negative thoughts as a teen. Anna feels that being able to stand up for herself is essential, and describes an incident of her thoughts spiraling as a result of anxiety.Ashley discusses how anxiety often manifests physically--with headaches and stomachaches, for example, but also notes that parents need to encourage their teens to check in with themselves emotionally. Teens want to talk. Look for signs of your teen overextending themselves and burning out on activities that they normally find enjoyable. Meltdowns, quitting an activity, changing friend groups---these can be signs that teens are just trying to lighten their load. Parents should help their teens set boundaries, and should role model this for them. Ashley Francis's therapy practice is called Blue Sage Counseling and Wellness.

Dr. Tara Egan and her teen cohost Anna are reflecting on the role of technology and social media during month FOUR of COVID-19. For many of us, social media is the primary way we socialize these days.Anna discusses how she uses tech & social media during quarantine, sharing what it's like to be raised by parents who monitor her technology, and consequently, limit 24/7 access to her friends. Tara feels she's relaxed her time limits on technology...Anna disagrees. Tara expresses her concerns about her clients becoming more isolated, spending more time on games and TikTok, and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling...versus having high-quality interactions with peers. Anna acknowledges that teens often seek drama on social media, poorer choices are made in the middle of the night, and COVID-19 wreaks havoc on sleep schedules. Grief reigns...over the loss of the ability to travel, the pressure of having to make safe choices for your family, and the inability of teens to get the natural stimulation that their brain needs. How do we address the struggle to balance the benefits of technology (socialization, entertainment, informational) with the risks (increased irritability, power struggles between parents and adults, mood variability, loss of interest in "real life" interactions)?Finally, Anna and Tara discuss the concepts of "purpose" and "kindness" and how the goal is to CONNECT. Structure can help with this...but not too much structure.Tara describes her mini course, consisting of her 30 page e-book and nine audio modules. It's called "Managing Your Family's Technology and Social Media", created to help parents eliminate power struggles, keep your family safe from internet misuse, and reconnect with your family.

Dr. Tara Egan and her teen co-host Anna discuss the concept of GASLIGHTING in today's solo episode. It's defined as a "form of emotional abuse that makes the person question their feelings, instinct, and even their sanity" and they give examples, discuss the impact of gaslighting on self-perception, and offer some practical solutions to cope when confronted with this type of manipulation.Phrases we've all heard from gaslighters include:  "you're so sensitive" "you're always so dramatic, "you're overreacting" "that never happened," or "I was just joking."

On Friday, March 16, 2018, 25-year-old Max Greenfield started out his weekend at the local casino where he had a drink with his sister, Tonya. They left together and headed home to Brookings, Oregon, where Tonya dropped him off at the home he shared with his mother. Max and Tonya made plans to go see a movie later in the weekend. The next evening, late in the night on March 17, and early into the morning hours of March 18, Max was back at the casino hanging out with some friends when he was asked to leave for not having proper identification. Max was seen on surviellance speaking to man outside the casino. The pair walked off the property and the man returned alone about 15 minutes later.
