Podcasts about help kids

When the fear of throwing up begins to take over a child's daily life, it can quietly shrink their world. School, eating, travel, social events, exercise, sleepovers, restaurants, and even ordinary conversations can suddenly feel unsafe.In this week's AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I'm talking all about emetophobia, the intense fear of vomiting, and how it can show up as both anxiety and OCD.We'll explore the hidden compulsions that often fuel this disorder, including reassurance seeking, body checking, food restriction, avoidance, hyperfixation on nausea, and the constant need to prevent getting sick.I'll also discuss:• Why emetophobia is not caused by trauma, even though a traumatic illness experience can trigger it• How avoidance quietly strengthens the fear over time• Why reassurance rarely helps long term• The difference between empowering your child versus protecting the disorder• How to identify the core fear driving the emetophobia• What exposures can look like for vomiting fears• How ERP therapy can help kids reclaim their livesIf your child's fear of throwing up is beginning to control daily life, this episode will help you better understand what is happening beneath the surface and how to support recovery in a compassionate, therapeutic way.Resources from this episode:Get the PDF Handout for this episodeEmetophobia Videos:https://youtu.be/mvQlW3iSU5U?si=b-UBrQdNR7ze0gKxhttps://youtu.be/cclkHTOX0co?si=tuSIySbvUlVdzBuihttps://youtu.be/oShDAdBugJ0?si=MfdwLU2xx1xocR9chttps://youtu.be/KvhjJqSXDRw?si=aJiOJKyJn1LYUdGZBooks Mentioned:Anxiety Sucks: A Teen Survival Guide by Natasha DanielsOvercoming Emetophobia Exposure Workbook by Natasha DanielsGuts by Raina TelgemeierFacing Mighty Fears About Throwing Up by Dawn Huebner***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to help your child study especially during those early high school years when everything can feel overwhelming for both you and them. I share a different way of thinking about studying, not as something kids should automatically know how to do, but as a skill that needs to be taught and supported. We explore how creating emotional safety, staying regulated as a parent, and focusing on effort rather than results can make a real difference in how your child approaches learning. If study time has been stressful in your home, this episode offers a more compassionate, practical approach to supporting your child without losing your mind in the process.

If you listened to our first episode on ADHD, you already know that the story most parents get about the diagnosis has some significant gaps - in the diagnostic criteria, in the research funding, and in the case for lifelong stimulant medication. This episode goes deeper on the topic of medication for kids. Most parents medicating their child with ADHD in the U.S. are doing it because they want their child to learn and succeed in school (social concerns are seen as more important to parents in the U.K.). But the largest ADHD treatment study ever conducted followed 538 children for six to eight years - and found no difference in academic achievement, grades, or test scores between kids who stayed on medication and kids who didn't. There were no significant differences even after the medicated group increased their average daily dose by 41%. Medication changes kids' behavior, but it doesn't improve learning. And once you understand what the research shows really helps kids with ADHD in the classroom - and why most kids stop taking medication within a few years - the conversation about treatment may look very different. Questions this episode will answer Does ADHD medication help with school? The largest and most comprehensive study of ADHD treatment ever conducted followed children for six to eight years. At the six and eight year follow-ups, children who stayed on medication did no better academically than children who weren't taking medication - even though the medicated group had increased their average daily dose by 41%. What can I use instead of ADHD medication? Research shows that small group instruction and differentiated teaching strategies produce real learning gains for kids with ADHD - gains that medication alone doesn't deliver. In a controlled study, kids learned vocabulary, social studies, and science through good teaching. Medication didn't add any learning benefit on top of that. Do ADHD medications affect learning in the long-term? A crossover study gave children actual curriculum units while on medication and while on a placebo. Medication had large effects on behavior - kids completed more work and broke fewer rules. But when researchers tested whether kids actually learned the material, there was no difference. The effect on learning disappeared as soon as the medication wore off. Can ADHD ever go away? Long-term research shows that almost two-thirds of people diagnosed with ADHD in childhood move in and out of the diagnostic category over time - meaning they meet criteria at some points in their lives and don't at others. That raises serious questions about whether ADHD is the chronic, fixed brain disorder the medical model describes. Is ADHD a lifelong condition? The medical model compares ADHD to diabetes - a chronic condition requiring lifelong treatment. But the same researcher who makes that comparison also presents data showing that symptoms fluctuate significantly over time for the majority of people diagnosed. Those two claims don't hold together. Why do most kids stop taking ADHD medication? A meta-analysis found that by five years after starting medication, only 20% of kids are still taking it. Kids aren't stopping because their ADHD went away. Research interviews show they're stopping because of side effects, because the medication makes them not themselves, or because they don't see it helping them in ways that matter to them. What you'll learn in this episode What the MTA study - the largest ADHD treatment study ever conducted - found when it followed children for six to eight years, and why the results don't support what most parents have been told about long-term medication useWhat kids themselves say about being on stimulant medication - in their own words, from research interviews - and why the majority stop taking it within a few yearsWhat evidence-based classroom approaches actually helped kids with ADHD learn in a controlled study - and why those findings matter more than most parents have been toldWhy almost two-thirds of people diagnosed with ADHD in childhood move in and out of the diagnostic category - and how that contradicts about the medical model's central claimThe gap between what children report about their own ADHD symptoms and what their parents report, and what that tells us about whose perspective the diagnostic process was built aroundWhy the diagnostic process excludes children under 16 from both the interview and the feedback session - and what that means for whose experience is considered during diagnosisWhy medication improves short-term compliance but doesn't translate to better learning - and what the difference between a performance effect and a learning effect means for your child Jump to highlights: 02:37 Jen recaps what Episode 264 covered and maps out what this episode will cover. 06:11 Barkley's own Milwaukee study shows most people move in and out of the diagnostic category, yet he concludes that over 90% have high symptom levels throughout their lives. Both cannot be true. 09:49 The diagnostic interview process itself: Barkley's own handbook frames the problem as how the child's behavior affects the parent, not how the child experiences their own life. 17:22 The Pelham study: Each child learned some units while on medication and other units while on a placebo. But when researchers tested whether kids actually learned the material, there was no difference at all. The medication changed behavior. It did not help kids learn. 25:50 Wrapping up today's episode 27:00 Preview of the next episode: Researcher Andrew Ivan Brown's concept of "misrecognition" - which he argues is the biggest harm people with ADHD actually face.

How do all the education changes affect students and what support might they need? 

An app that helps teachers and coaches make sports more inclusive has been awarded a grant to help it expand, develop new features, all while remaining free for users. The app, Ahei, ­has seen massive growth since it launched less than a year ago, and so-far has 5000 users across the whole country including Stewart Island and the Chathams. Teachers and coaches had wanted to make sports and activities more accessible and inclusive, but weren't sure how and this meant many children were unintentionally excluded from meaningful participation in movement. The app provides practical support, advice, and lesson planning and is the brainchild of world champion Paralympian cycling pair Laura Thompson and Emma Foy. It is one of six recipients of Ministry of Disabled People's new 'Access Activator' grants programme, which is designed to launch or boost companies that are focused on innovative ways to improve accessibility.

Watching our kids struggle with OCD can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally draining. When we understand OCD and begin recognizing compulsions more clearly, many of us naturally shift from accommodating behaviors… to hyper-focusing on every compulsion, reassurance loop, and avoidance pattern.This is what I call becoming the “OCD police.”In this episode, I explore how parents can unintentionally move from helping to over-monitoring, constantly pointing out compulsions, questioning behaviors, and trying to control OCD at every turn. While this often comes from a place of deep love and fear, hypervigilance can damage trust, increase shame, and create communication breakdowns.I discuss why becoming the OCD police can backfire, how it may cause kids to hide symptoms or shut down, and why managing OCD isn't about catching every compulsion.Most importantly, I break down what to do instead.You'll learn how to shift from policing to coaching, how to prioritize the compulsions that involve you, when to push, when to pause, and how to build skills without sacrificing connection.If you are a parent who feels stuck between accommodating and over-correcting, this episode will help you find the middle ground that truly supports healing.Resources Discussed on Episode:When to Push and When to Pause www.childocdtherapist.com/power-of-the-pause/SPACE Study Course www.atparentingsurvivalseries.com/space/AT Parenting Community www.atparentingcommunity.comPulling Back OCD Accommodations www.childocdtherapist.com/pulling-back-ocd-accommodations/Trust and Communication www.childocdtherapist.com/trust-and-communication/How to Help Kids with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors www.childocdtherapist.com/how-to-address-picking-and-pulling-behaviors/***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Send us Fan MailWhat should parents do when a child's friend starts making unhealthy choices? When kids open up about what their friends are watching, saying, or experimenting with, many parents instinctively want to immediately end the friendship. But reacting too quickly can shut down communication and teach a harsh kind of “cutoff culture” instead of wisdom, discernment, and healthy boundaries. In this episode, we share five practical ways to help kids navigate risky friendships with both love and truth. We talk about how to respond when friends introduce inappropriate language, pornography, vaping, hookup culture, and other unhealthy influences—and how to help your child process those situations without fear-based parenting. You'll also learn: Why there is no perfect friend  How to avoid “level four” reactions to “level one” problems  Biblical conflict resolution from Matthew 18  The difference between inner-circle and outer-circle friends  One-way vs. two-way friendships  How your own friendships model relationship habits for your kids  This episode will give parents practical language and biblical tools to help kids build healthy relationships, set wise boundaries, and navigate friendships in today's culture. RESOURCESTeach Red Flag Reporting - nextTalk Develop Moral Compass and Default to Love - nextTalk Look in the Mirror - nextTalk Build a Safe Place - nextTalk Adopt a No-Secrets Family Policy - nextTalk Your family is the most important team you will ever lead. - nextTalk Parenting Advice with Pastor Robert Emmitt - nextTalk A kid is confiding in me.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the critical issue of student engagement in education. She highlights the findings from a recent Brookings Institution survey revealing that only one-third of children are enthusiastic about school by age 13, contrasting sharply with parents' perceptions. Dr. Kathy addresses the reasons behind children's boredom and disinterest in learning, emphasizing the importance of making education relevant and beneficial. She also explores how parents can respond to their children's frustrations with school, acknowledging that while some level of boredom can build resilience, it can also lead to a diminished love for learning. Tune in for valuable insights on fostering enthusiasm in education and maintaining a positive learning environment for children.

When our child is anxious or stuck in OCD, everything can feel urgent. The questions, the reassurance seeking, the distress, the pressure to fix it right away. As parents, our instinct is often to respond quickly so we can calm things down. But sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause.In this episode, I talk about the power of the pause and why slowing down our response can actually help our kids build resilience and break the anxiety and OCD cycle. A pause gives us space to respond intentionally instead of reacting out of stress, fear, or urgency. It also models for our kids that discomfort doesn't have to be solved immediately.If you are a parent who feels pulled to jump in quickly when your child is anxious, asks for reassurance, or gets stuck in OCD loops, this episode will help you see how a small pause can create big shifts in how you support your child.

Confused about ADHD or looking for effective ways to support a child or teen? Dr. Ruston is joined by Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez, PhD, a clinical psychologist at Seattle Children's Hospital, who explains how ADHD is diagnosed and how symptoms evolve from childhood through adolescence. They explore both the strengths and challenges associated with the condition. The episode focuses on research-based strategies that parents and other adults can use to support youth, including "point-of-performance" actions, preventing "dopamine cliffs," and other approaches for managing screen time, physical activity, and sleep. Dr. Schoenfelder Gonzalez also shares her work developing FAST (First Approach Skills Training), a free, evidence-based program designed to give parents practical tools to support youth with ADHD and other conditions.   Featured Expert‍ Erin Schoenfelder Gonzalez, PhD ‍ Research References Sibley, M. et al.

In this conversation with Tara-Leigh Cobble, founder of D-Group and host of The Bible Recap, Tara shares how moving from “Bible exposure” to true “Bible engagement” transformed her faith and led to the creation of The Bible Recap for Kids and its companion podcast. She encourages parents to model a genuine love for Scripture, invite kids into conversations about who God is (not just behavior modification), and practice looking for God's character in daily Bible reading. With practical ideas like sharing a daily “God shot” and engaging Scripture together as a family, Tara offers hopeful, accessible ways to help kids not just read the Bible—but understand it and fall in love with God.  Resources mentioned: The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble The Bible Recap for Kids by Tara-Leigh Cobble . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

TEA TIME WITH TAMARA: The B.C. Government unveiled a new, revamped funding system for children and youth with complex developmental disabilities, including autism with intellectual disability and Down Syndrome. This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir speaks with broadcast legend and disability advocate Tamara Taggart about how the new model works, whether or not the government (finally) listened to families, and why some children could see their support reduced.

This conversation invites us to explore one of the deepest lessons in emotional maturity: learning to be in relationship with our feelings without being ruled by them. Through a heartfelt dialogue about parenting, school anxiety, and our own patterns of overwhelm, we discover that the path to growing up isn't about avoiding what's hard, but about developing a loving and steady relationship with the “vehicle” we live in: our body, our emotions, and our lived experience.We walk through the tender terrain of a parent's grief and a child's avoidance, uncovering how easily love can turn into enabling, and how empathy can lose its grounding without boundaries. Together, we explore what it means to help a child,  and ourselves, build strength from discomfort, rather than collapse in its presence. This episode is a compassionate reminder that our feelings are sacred messengers, but they are not the drivers. We are.Listen to learn:•How to find the line between empathy and enabling•What the Zone of Proximal Development means for emotional growth•How to stay attuned to your child's unique pace and capacities•Why discomfort,  not avoidance, is the soil for confidence•How to model agency and resilience for your kids (and yourself)Read more on the blog.For ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection.

If you've ever looked around your workplace and thought, "There has to be a better way to do this," you're not alone. Many physicians see inefficiencies, gaps in care, and systems that don't truly serve patients—but feel powerless to change them from the inside. In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Alison Curfman, pediatric emergency medicine physician, co-founder of Imagine Pediatrics, and founder of Startup Physicians. Alison previously shared her remarkable journey from frontline medicine into the startup and venture capital world, and today she's back to help demystify how any physician can use their expertise to consult with startups—without giving up clinical work. We talk about what these roles actually look like, who qualifies (spoiler: almost everyone), and how physicians can begin building meaningful, paid advisory work that creates real impact. Whether you're early in training, mid-career, clinically inactive, or nearing retirement, this conversation will expand your sense of what's possible. And if this topic resonates, be sure to listen through to the end. We're hosting a free live webinar together on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026, where we'll go much deeper into the step-by-step process of breaking into startup consulting. In this episode we're talking about: Why physicians are uniquely valuable to startups and venture firms The different ways doctors can consult (advisory, product design, research, policy, and more) Whether you need to be clinically active, board-certified, or mid-career to qualify How residents, fellows, and retirees can all find opportunities in this space Why early roles may involve equity or lower pay—and why that's often worth it How physicians actually find and connect with startup opportunities Why this work feels so energizing and meaningful for many doctors Links for this episode: Alison Curfman MD Startup Physicians Startup Physicians Launchpad – A 12-week physician-only program with self-paced modules, live coaching, and a private community that teaches you how to turn your clinical expertise into paid advisory work. *Disclaimer: I am an affiliate of this program which means if you sign up through my link, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

In the 1990s, Congress created HOPE VI, a program that demolished old public housing projects and replaced them with more up-to-date ones. But the program went further than just improving public housing buildings. HOPE VI was designed to transform neighborhoods with concentrated poverty into neighborhoods that attracted people with different incomes. Some people who moved to HOPE VI neighborhoods earned too much to qualify for public housing. And some even paid for market-rate housing. The idea was that this would help create new opportunities for the low-income people who lived there and even lift people out of poverty.For years though, there wasn't a clear answer to whether this approach actually succeeded. A new working paper from Raj Chetty and the team at Opportunity Insights finally provides some answers. On today's show: Who really benefits when people living in poverty are more connected to their surrounding communities? Are there lessons from the HOPE VI experiment that could apply to other kinds of policies aimed at fostering upward mobility?More about Opportunity Insights' study and a link to their interactive map here.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Send us a textAditya Nagrath believes that math anxiety is real and that one of its chief instigators is memorization. This is why his book, Treating Mathematics Anxiety, and the system he created at Elephant Learning focus on fostering an understanding of math concepts. He believes in it so much that he guarantees that students learn one year of mathematics in three months using his system. Aditya and I discuss his approach and steps you can take to help the kids in your life overcome math anxiety.

Ever feel like your kids walk straight past overflowing laundry baskets, open doors, or lights blazing—and simply don’t see it? You’re not imagining things. In this episode, Justin and Kylie share the hilarious (and slightly painful!) truth about raising kids who swear they’re “contributing”… while the adults quietly carry the load. This feel-good Friday wrap-up dives into family meetings, chore systems that actually work, and the emotional load parents carry as we crawl toward the end of the year. It’s honest, relatable, and packed with practical ideas to help your kids step up—no nagging required. KEY POINTS Why teens truly believe they’re contributing (and why parents disagree). The difference between helping when asked and true initiative. How a simple four-station chore system brought calm back to the household. The real reason parents burn out at the end of the year. Why “don’t give up” might be the most important parenting rule of all. How family meetings create clarity, connection, and accountability—even with adult kids. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Contribution is about initiative—eyes open, notice, and act.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Family meeting questions: What’s going well? What’s not? What do we want to focus on? eSafety Commissioner updates on minimum age for social media platforms Happy Families resources at happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Hold a quick family meeting—15 minutes max—with the three guiding questions. Introduce clusters instead of chores (laundry, floors, kitchen, bathrooms). Give kids longer rotations (weekly or monthly) to build mastery and responsibility. Reframe contribution as noticing—not waiting. Stay consistent: gentle reminders aren’t failure; they’re part of the process. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we help kids open up about their day—really open up—so we can guide their hearts, not just manage their behavior? In today's episode, we explore why the classic parent question, "How was your day?" almost always leads to a dead end, and how we can replace it with questions that actually build connection, confidence, and identity. Drawing from Dr. Kathy Koch's deep insight into child development, we look at why kids often shut down when they come home from school, what their silence might be telling us, and how timing, tone, and relational approach matter more than the words themselves. Dr. Kathy explains how performance-centered questions unintentionally send the message that grades matter more than character, and she challenges parents to ask questions that explore who their child was during the day—not just what they did. Together, we unpack better conversation starters that help kids reflect, process emotions, develop humility, grow in problem-solving, and see where God showed up in their lives. We also discuss five identity-based categories—intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual—and how to engage each one meaningfully. You'll learn about a simple "Go Fish" dinner-table activity that brings the whole family into the conversation and how three words—curious, confused, confident—can reshape the way you talk with your kids about school. Wayne also reflects on a powerful moment from John 21, where Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Instead of shaming Peter, Jesus restores him. That same pattern—gentle, repeated questions that lead to deeper truth—shows us that good questions don't interrogate a child; they bless them. They help them see who they are becoming. This episode is an encouraging, practical guide for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who want to build stronger connections, nurture identity in Christ, and create moments of reflection that shine a bright light through the emotional fog kids sometimes carry home. You'll walk away with new tools, new questions, and a renewed sense of hope as you shepherd your children's hearts.
