Send us a textThe Brain-Based Parenting team explores how technology can positively impact families when used with intention and appropriate boundaries. Technology, when used wisely, can be a powerful tool for families. Instant access to information fuels children's curiosity and learning, while calls, texts, and video chats help family members stay connected across distances. Safety features like location tracking give parents peace of mind, and educational apps, YouTube tutorials, and even Bible apps or faith-based podcasts provide unique opportunities for growth. Games and creative tools can build skills and encourage parent–child bonding. At the same time, practicing good “technology hygiene” is essential, being intentional about both the quantity and quality of tech use. Setting clear expectations from the start, modeling healthy habits as parents, and keeping devices in shared family spaces rather than bedrooms all help prevent conflict and strengthen family connection.

Send us a textAdventure helps children grow in confidence, creativity, and joy, but it requires a balance between safety and freedom. Kids need a secure foundation and supportive adults to feel safe exploring beyond their comfort zones. Real adventure happens through unstructured play, trying new things, and learning through experience—not screens. Small, interest-based adventures can build toward greater challenges, and success is found in the effort, not just the outcome.Let them try. Let them fail. Let them know they're still loved.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Send us a text Helping children discover a sense of purpose gives them direction, motivation, and a connection to something greater than themselves. It boosts mood, energy, and motivation, especially when they contribute meaningfully to their community. Purpose is built through realistic goals, service, and exploration—especially in supportive environments like faith communities. Even structured service can be transformative.

As many of you know, we had a hard time putting this podcast out…first Josie got hit by a rogue baseball and ended up with a concussion. When she was finally feeling okay, we sat down together and somehow ended up in a conversation about the state of the world.

Send us a textOur ongoing exploration of attachment styles focuses on avoidant attachment, examining how it develops when caregivers consistently fail to respond to children's needs. We unpack why this attachment style, which often makes children appear self-sufficient and well-behaved, actually undermines their emotional development and capacity for meaningful relationships.• Avoidant attachment develops when caregivers are consistently unavailable or unresponsive to a child's needs• The first three years of life are critical for attachment formation, with early experiences setting patterns for future relationships• Children with avoidant attachment often appear independent and "easy" on the surface, making this attachment style easy to miss• Even though these children don't outwardly show distress, their bodies experience the same stress response as children who openly express needs• Technology may exacerbate avoidant attachment patterns by providing false substitutes for genuine connection• Healing approaches include consistent, responsive caregiving, intentional time together, and recognizing that overwhelming a child with affection may backfire• Simple strategies like scheduled meals together, protected playtime, and modeling healthy boundaries with technology can help children develop more secure attachmentContact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Send us a textSecure attachment forms the foundation for a child's healthy development and shapes how they view themselves, others, and the world. We explore the four key attributes caregivers need to foster secure attachment: being present, attentive, attuned, and responsive.• A secure attachment relationship is defined as one that's "free from danger or risk," creating a healthy and safe space for children• Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a child's needs, showing them they are important and valued• Children with secure attachment develop a "secure base" that allows them to explore the world confidently, knowing they have a safe place to return to• Crying at daycare drop-offs can actually indicate healthy attachment – the child wants to be with you and knows you'll return• Being physically and emotionally present is the foundation for all other aspects of secure caregiving• Attentiveness means paying close attention to what your child is doing and learning from their behaviors• Attunement is the ability to accurately read and interpret your child's signals beyond surface behaviors• Responsive caregiving teaches children that they matter and that seeking help is valuable• Play accelerates attachment building – according to Dr. Karyn Purvis, it can cut healing time in half for children from difficult backgrounds• Securely attached children develop powerful internal messages: "I am important," "Others are helpful," and "The world is safe"Join us next week as we discuss avoidant attachment and continue our exploration of attachment styles.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
Send us a textAttachment forms the foundation of all human relationships, beginning with our earliest bonds to caregivers and shaping how we connect with others throughout our lives. The quality of care we receive in our first three years creates a template through which we view all future relationships, determining whether we see the world as safe and trustworthy or dangerous and unpredictable.• Attachment is the primary relationship we have with our caregiver and shapes all future relationships• Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a baby's needs with attunement• Quality of interactions matters—soft tones, loving eyes, and gentle rocking create a "somatosensory bath"• Modern parenting challenges include technology distractions, reduced family support, and increased caregiver-to-child ratios• Children with secure attachment typically experience 30+ positive adult interactions daily versus only 6 for insecurely attached children• How we perceive the world influences how we move through it—we elicit from others what we expect from them• Helping traumatized children heal requires respect for boundaries, appropriate proximity, and patient relationship-building• Faith formation tends to mirror attachment patterns, with securely attached children more likely to develop secure spiritual connectionsJoin us next week as we dive deeper into secure attachment and continue our series on the science of human connection.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402
