"Parenting is not intuitive. It is a learned skill—just like becoming an accountant or a heart surgeon or riding a bike." - Tia Slightham. Tia Slightham is a seasoned expert in parenting solutions with over 20 years of experience in working with families and children. She holds a master's degree in early childhood education and is certified in positive discipline. Tia is the founder of Tia Slightham Parenting Solutions and the Parenting with Purpose Method, where she focuses on teaching parents effective strategies to reduce daily struggles and foster strong parent-child connections. Her approach aims to combat generational trauma and promote positive growth in children. Episode Summary: In this insightful episode of "Oh, My Health... There is Hope!" host Jana Short welcomes Tia Slightham, an established parenting coach, to discuss effective strategies for positive parenting. The conversation delves into Tia's extensive experience in early childhood education and her dedication to helping parents form meaningful connections with their children. With a focus on preventing generational trauma, this episode offers a blueprint for enhancing family dynamics through transformative and positive discipline techniques. Throughout the episode, listeners are treated to Tia's valuable insights into overcoming parenting challenges and promoting healthy child development. Tia shares her expertise on implementing consistency and respect in parenting practices, which include avoiding power struggles and meeting children's emotional needs. These methods serve not only to ease parental stress but also to equip children with vital life skills. By shifting language and adopting new perspectives, parents can create harmonious and nurturing environments that mirror Tia's successful approach, thereby instilling lifelong lessons of respect and independence in their children. Key Takeaways: Parenting is a learned skill rather than an innate one, and acquiring positive discipline techniques can significantly improve parent-child relationships. Understanding the root cause of children's behaviors is crucial. Parents must learn to recognize whether an incident is a tantrum or a meltdown to address it appropriately. Consistency and setting clear boundaries with your children lead to better listening and cooperation, reducing power struggles. Using positive language shifts, such as replacing "if" with "when," can encourage a more cooperative and respectful environment. Even late in the parenting journey, implementing positive changes in approach can lead to significant improvements in family dynamics.

Today I am talking to a special guest, Annabelle Vaughn, who watched her father get dragged from the front door of their rural Tennessee home four years ago, for the “crime” of conspiracy to protect the unborn. Paul Vaugn, who was interviewed a couple of times on Crosspolitic, was one of the Nashville 11 who was later arrested for helping the others who committed the “crime” of peacefully blocking the entrance to a (now closed) abortion clinic while praying & singing hymns. (BTW, I interviewed four of the Nashville 11 in July of 2024 just BEFORE their sentencing in Nashville, and you can find those episodes in the podcast archives.) As you listen, think of how you might better pray both for the persecuted, as well as the families who are often forgotten, yet also suffer in many ways. . .

Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind everyone to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“Remember those in prison, as bound with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”). I’ve done this by sharing imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi’s writings in China, but since we have none of his writings from WITHIN prison walls, I’ve turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice, or reminders, or sermons, from prison.

Episode 4833: Bidens Justice Department: Targeting Parents, Wiretapping, And Census Fraud

Jared checks in from Los Angeles for another Ticked Off Tuesday, ready to turn everyday annoyances into comedy gold. First up is the chaos of calling his parents, where a simple “hello” takes a full minute, and his mom somehow “merges” calls she can't even answer properly. Then it's on to breakfast at a very L.A. café, where Jared resists two heavenly slices of baguette and butter and declares that bread should be opt-in, not automatic sabotage. Listener complaints follow, including a massage that skipped the back entirely, Target mobile orders with no straws, kids splashing in the adults-only jacuzzi, and a neighbor who won't stop “helping” with parallel parking. Whether it's phones, food, or unsolicited advice, Jared finds the funny in frustration and makes you feel a little less alone in your own petty grievances!New Factor customers get 50% off your first box, plus free breakfast for 1 year.

Filming in Morocco and fresh off the marathon research behind Cry Havoc, bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr returns for his fourth 1KHO conversation—this time squarely in our wheelhouse of reading, learning, and family culture. Jack makes a compelling case that books are the antidote to algorithm-driven distraction: stories train attention, build empathy, and hand our kids a durable inner compass you can't get from a social media feed. We walk through how he reconstructed 1968 for his new novel (maps, memoirs, dictionaries from the era!) and why that kind of deep work mirrors what we want for our children—slow knowledge, resilient mindsets, and the courage to think for themselves. Parents will love the practical spillover: cultivate “analog downtime” (think: cards at the table, shared read-alouds) where wisdom is actually transmitted; point teens to big, stretching books that expand vocabulary and perspective; and use history and fiction to talk about media literacy in an age when everyone is “the press.” Jack shares a short canon he believes every American should know, and we connect it to everyday habits that raise readers—not scrollers. If you're building a home where curiosity, grit, and good stories shape the next generation, this one will light a fire. Get your copy of Cry Havoc here Learn more about your ad choices.

The death of Ellen Greenberg has haunted the nation for more than a decade — and many believe it was a cover-up from the very start. In this powerful and emotional episode of STS, Emmy Award–Winning Journalist Joel Waldman sits down with Ellen Greenberg's parents, who are still fighting for answers and demanding justice for their daughter. Ellen, a 27-year-old schoolteacher, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck and head—yet the case was ruled a su*c*de. Her fiancé told 911 operators that she "fell on a knife,” a claim that has left investigators, experts, and the public in disbelief. Now, more than a decade later, Ellen's parents are taking their fight to court, as new attention — including a recent Hulu documentary — exposes shocking inconsistencies, unanswered questions, and alleged mishandling that may finally bring the truth to light. This STS investigation shines a spotlight on the mystery, the heartbreak, and the growing demand for justice in one of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent memory. #JusticeforEllenThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with sisters Beth and Kathleen Rooney to discuss their debut picture book, "Leaf Town Forever" - a remarkable story born from the unexpected creativity of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book originated from a fascinating real-life scenario at a Montessori school, where children, required to stay socially distanced, invented an entire civilization using autumn leaves. This ingenious play became the inspiration for a unique picture book that captures the resilience and imagination of children during challenging times. What makes "Leaf Town Forever" truly special is its innovative storytelling approach. The Rooney sisters chose to write the entire book in haiku, a poetic form consisting of just 17 syllables. This creative decision not only condensed their story but also beautifully captured the seasonal transitions experienced by the children in their narrative. The collaborative process between Beth, a photojournalist, and Kathleen, an established author, was remarkably smooth. They described their writing method as a playful "volley" reminiscent of their high school badminton days, with each sister contributing and refining the text. Their journey wasn't without challenges. Working with illustrator Betsy Bowen required patience, with the entire process from manuscript to published book taking nearly two years. However, the result was a stunning visual representation of their story that brought tears to their eyes. "Leaf Town Forever" is more than just a children's book - it's a testament to human creativity, adaptability, and the power of imaginative play. It shows how children can transform limitations into opportunities for connection and storytelling. Parents and educators will find this book not just entertaining, but also a powerful conversation starter about community, resilience, and finding joy in unexpected places. We also have a listen back to a conversation we had with Janice Milusich about her book Be Careful What Your Hear.  Click here to visit our website – www.ReadingWithYourKids.com Follow Us On Social Media Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/readingwithyourkids Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/readingwithyourkids/ X - https://x.com/jedliemagic LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/reading-with-your-kids-podcast/ Please consider leaving a review of this episode and the podcast on whatever app you are listening on, it really helps!

The best we ever get at living is clumsy.  No one can become perfect, even though we carry a picture of it in our hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) says, “He has set eternity in the human heart.” No matter our determination or information, we humans will always have to struggle with mistakes and sin.  We have to live on life's terms, not our terms. Death and the unpredictable are a part of this life. We cannot know the future. We are dependent upon our need of each other and God. If we do not face, feel, and deal well with our neediness in a healthy way, we will become defended against the pains that come with love. No one can change or defeat this fact about life. If we don't learn how to need others and God, it increases the negative consequences we don't want for ourselves or those we love. Everything in life is practice. Doctors are practicing, and lawyers are practicing. Parents are also practicing, as are children. We are not works of perfection. We have to keep learning and risking without knowing all of the outcomes. We are in this life together; the more proactive everyone is in helping each other practice living fully and loving deeply, the better the outcomes.  It takes a lifetime to learn how to live.  Whether we are eight, twenty-eight, or eighty, we are still asking many of the same questions throughout our lives, like, “When will we get there?” “How much will it hurt?” or “Will you be there to get me?” No one has all the answers to life. We have to keep learning how to live, even as we gain wisdom about doing so, hopefully. There is not a destination of “having it all together.”   We are all works in progress. Rather than the facts of reality defeating us, they can actually give us permission to gain more humility.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Is it too late to rebuild your relationship with your adult child? What if there's grief, resentment, or even silence between you? In this episode, Kathy Cunningham, a Christian counselor, ordained minister, coach, and inner healing ministry leader shares her deeply personal journey of healing, transformation, and restored connection with her adult children. Kathy went through a journey with both of her kids and started to see more and more parent child estrangement in her counseling practice. This led her to start a ministry that helps parents grow and be a cheerleader instead of controlling their adult kids. Here is some of what we cover:  Why your own healing journey is key to restoring connection Setting healthy boundaries in your home while honoring your child's independence What to do when your child has cut off contact Radical acceptance: creating space for disagreement without division Moms whose identity has been wrapped up in parenting find themselves feeling lost and unsure of who they are once their kids leave home- what to do next Connect with Kathy Cunningham:  Website:  Grace For The Journey Facebook: A Seed of Hope Instagram:  Katherine L Cunningham (@kathycunningham717) Links Mentioned:   Doing Life with Your Adult Children: By Jim Burns Parents of Addicted Loved Ones | Support Group for Parents, Spouses, Family of Addicted Loved One FREE resources for parents to reconnect with adult children  Grace Restored Membership Related Episodes: “How do I connect better with my kids?” [Ep 475] Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 1) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 498] Building Healthy Relationships by Exploring Adult Attachment Patterns (Part 2) :: Charissa Lopez [Ep 499] Featured Sponsors:  GoPure Beauty–For a limited time, our listeners get 25% off goPure with code DMA at checkout.

This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen dig into the topic of breaking intergenerational patterns and the ways in which we end up just like our parents, for good and for bad. From inherited quirks and “mental health heirlooms” to subconscious habits we don't notice until a third party points them out, they explore what to carry forward and what to leave behind.Listener questions include how to cope when parents won't acknowledge past harm, setting boundaries without cutting contact, and resisting the pull of old family dynamics. Em and Jen share practical tools for breaking cycles in the moment, from creating pauses and practicing new behaviors to building new normals and offering yourself compassion when you slip up. Plus, in Dear Em & Jen, they respond to a listener grieving her shifting role as her brothers' girlfriends become part of the family.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

Take your calling seriously and yourself lightly   Summary Are you taking parenting a little too seriously? In this episode, we dive into why families need to throw off the burden of “psychological correctness” and rediscover the gift of humor. Parenting isn't a project—it's a wild, messy adventure! We'll share why secure parents can laugh at their mistakes, how to set healthy limits at your table, and how to teach kids the difference between fun teasing and disrespect. Most of all, we'll remind you that your children are a never-ending source of laugh-worthy moments.  This week we're joined by the always witty and wise Dr. Ray Guarendi, who brings his trademark humor and insight to help parents embrace joy, laughter, and freedom in family life. Key Takeaways Throw off “psychological correctness”! The gift of humor has been taken away from modern parents because most parents are now overly worried about every word they say.   Parents need to take themselves lightly and stop making parenting into a psychological project.  Those parents who are insecure can't laugh at themselves.  You know you are secure when you can laugh at your mistakes and find humor in the craziness of family life.  You decide the limits are your table and teach the difference between good-natured teasing and disrespect.  Remember and celebrate that kids are natural sources of laugh-worthy material for life!    Couple Discussion Questions Are we able to laugh at ourselves and our mistakes even with our kids?  What are some of the funny things that have happened in our family?  How can we remember these?    Resources Dr Ray website:  https://www.drray.com/   Take our 2025 Listener Survey!    Everything we do here at the Messy Family Project is for couples and families!

Family conflict is normal, but harshness only “wins” in the moment and wounds in the long run. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie show how Christlike gentleness—firm, kind, and restorative—can cool tempers, set wise boundaries, and actually heal relationships. From triage metaphors to Jesus restoring Peter, this is a simple path to fighting less and loving more.Resources Mentioned:Good News for Parents by Adam GriffinMatthew 18:15–20Proverbs 15:1John 21:1–192 Timothy 3:1–5Hebrews 12:11 Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteEditing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

In this episode, I speak with Lynn Chadwick, founder of Themis Resource Fund, about her deeply personal journey from devastating parental estrangement to purposeful advocacy. Lynn opens up about losing contact with all three of her children to trans ideology and how she nearly lost herself in the process. We explore the critical distinction between activism and family relationships—when fighting the broader culture war can actually harm your connection with your own child.Lynn shares the transformative moment that changed everything: turning off her phone, leaving behind the constant stream of trans-related content, and spending two weeks in Mexico with baby whales. This experience helped her reclaim her identity beyond "ROGD parent" and taught her that prioritizing her own healing wasn't giving up on her children—it was the most powerful thing she could do.We discuss why trans functions like a religious system that cannot tolerate doubt, the trauma parents experience in this situation, and practical wisdom about setting boundaries with information consumption. Lynn explains her vital work with Themis Resource Fund, which provides litigation support for detransitioners seeking justice through the legal system. She details the enormous costs and challenges of bringing these cases to trial, and why these lawsuits represent one of the most important frontiers in stopping medical harm to young people.Lynn Chadwick began advocating and supporting parents during her career as a neonatal intensive care nurse. Her story of how her family was affected by gender ideology was first published in the Christian Post in 2019, after which Lynn began advocating for parents both publicly and privately. Lynn has volunteered with the Kelsey Coalition, Parents of ROGD Kids, Partners for Ethical Care, and Genspect. She started a private Facebook group for parents in 2019 which is still active today. She has been interviewed about her life and work including on the Wider Lens podcast.

In this episode, Dr. Huerta unpacks the seven traits of effective parenting and offers encouragement for parents to lean into these values while adapting to each child's unique personality and needs. “Parents are doing the best they can with what they have, and I encourage them to look at that. Are you bringing the best you can with what you've got?. . .With that, you get to guide your kids, you get to have a relationship with them. You can give your kids the investment of time and the investment of your attention. That is hard in homeschooling because you've got so many things grabbing for your attention, you have multiple kids that are needing your attention your guidance, then you've got the chores of the house that are right there in front of you. . .that's where the intentionality comes in of how you're going to invest that time to have a relationship. They need you to know who they are.”—Dr. Daniel Huerta

The parents of 3-year-old who died from septic shock say they'll never recover from the death of their eldest child. An investigation by the Health and Disability Commission found Alexzander Sutherland-Hunt died after multiple missed opportunities in his care at a rural hospital. The little boy was a month shy of his 4th birthday when his parents took him to then Grey Base Hospital with a fever and vomiting in July 2020. Natalie Akoorie reports - a warning that some details in this report are confronting.

Precocious puberty, also known as early puberty, takes place when a child's body begins to change into an adult body too soon. In today's world, puberty usually begins for girls around age eight, and around age nine for our boys. In recent years, there has also been research showing that in general, our kids are reaching puberty at earlier and earlier ages. There have been lots of different theories put forward regarding what's causing this. Researchers tell us that one factor which triggers early puberty in girls are the fragrance producing chemicals that are in the commercial beauty and skin-care products that flood the market, and that have become especially popular among pre-teen and younger girls in recent years. Research indicates these fragrances have the potential to stimulate parts of the brain that trigger early puberty, risks of psychological problems, heart disease, and breast cancer associated with early puberty. Parents, keep an eye on the products your kids are using.
