In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses one of the most challenging issues parents face: constant tantrums, meltdowns, and behavioral issues in children. Rather than focusing on external behavioral modifications, Dr. Tony explains how these challenging behaviors often stem from an imbalanced nervous system. He shares the inspiring story of Jake, a young boy who went from explosive anger and self-harm to becoming a national karate champion through neurologically focused chiropractic care. Dr. Tony breaks down the science behind nervous system dysregulation, explains why traditional approaches often fall short, and offers hope for families struggling with these daily challenges through a drug-free, root-cause approach.----Links & ResourcesFree Article: How to Overcome Constant Meltdowns, Tantrums, and Behavioral OutburstsJakes Story of Hope-----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:03:00]) - Jake's Transformation Story: From explosive tantrums and self-harm to national karate champion through nervous system care([00:06:00]) - Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short: The "climbing Mount Everest with a broken leg" analogy and why behavioral modification alone isn't enough([00:08:00]) - The Inside-Out Approach: How neurologically focused chiropractic addresses the internal nervous system rather than external environment([00:09:00]) - All Gas, No Brakes: Understanding subluxation and why some kids are constantly revved up at 5,000 RPMs([00:11:00]) - Breaking the Cycle of Fear: How constant behavioral challenges isolate families and the hope found in addressing root causes-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Is it ever safe to let your 11- or 12-year-old walk to the park, ride their bike, or visit a friend without you? For many parents, just the thought makes the stomach clench. But here’s the twist: the riskiest thing might be never letting kids take risks at all. In this episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack the independence dilemma that defines modern parenting. You’ll hear why today is the safest time in history for children (despite our fears), how to balance risk and safety, and the practical steps that build confidence — in both kids and parents. KEY POINTS: The difference between danger and risk — and why it matters. Why 24/7 news and social media fuel parental anxiety. How staged independence builds resilience and confidence.

This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I'm talking to parents who are navigating one of the hardest parts of raising athletes: watching your kids struggle with disappointment, pressure, and even toxic coaching environments.As parents, our instinct is to protect our kids from heartbreak and setbacks. But what if the very challenges we want to shield them from are the ones that help them build resilience for life? Using clinical psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy's “bench” analogy, I share how letting kids sit with their disappointment — instead of rushing to fix it — prepares them for the bigger benches of adulthood, from heartbreak to career setbacks.I also dive into an important and difficult topic: what to do if your child's coach crosses the line into emotional abuse. I share guidance on how to recognize red flags, when to approach a coach, and when to go directly to gym owners or SafeSport.Whether you're supporting your child through a tough season, or wondering how to handle an unsafe coaching environment, this episode will give you tools to respond with calm, connection, and courage.In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:Dr. Becky Kennedy's “bench” analogy for building resilienceHow disappointment today builds confidence for tomorrowRecognizing the signs of emotionally abusive coachingWhen to have a conversation, how to approach it, and when it's time to leave“Your challenge as a parent is not to take your child's resilience from them by trying to move them off the hard bench.

Leia's own cancer journey began when she was just two years old, after being diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer. She endured 26 surgeries and multiple rounds of chemotherapy, ultimately losing sight in one eye. But instead of letting her struggles define her, Leia turned her pain into purpose — speaking at the White House, working alongside the American Cancer Society and the Eye Tumor Research Foundation, and inspiring countless others through her story. At just 18 years old, while still in high school, Leia founded Leia's Kids — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families battling childhood cancer. As a survivor herself, Leia knows firsthand the challenges these children and their families face. Her organization provides financial grants, hosts dream parties, organizes mental health retreats, and so much more — offering not just support, but joy, hope, and a sense of community during some of life's hardest moments.

We explore what's happening beneath the surface when kids think in extremes, and how we can gently support more balanced and resilient thinking.• Children's brains are still developing, especially in the prefrontal cortex responsible for complex thought and emotional regulation• Binary thinking (black and white, all good or all bad) is a normal developmental stage, not a flaw to be fixed• The emotional centers of a child's brain develop before their reasoning centers, explaining many extreme reactions• Identifying when your child is stuck in all-or-nothing thinking is the first step to helping them• Validate emotions without reinforcing extreme statements - say "losing feels frustrating" instead of "you don't always lose"• Model continuum thinking by verbalizing your own balanced thoughts out loud• Use language that adds nuance like "sometimes" and "a part of me feels..."• Praise effort, courage, and learning rather than just outcomes to build a growth mindset• Recognize that moving from all-or-nothing to nuanced thinking is a developmental journey*Did you know? I'm currently opening a few one-to-one coaching spots for moms who are ready to go deeper and get personalized support as they build their own resilience.

Ian's journey is as relatable as it is eye-opening—once addicted to video games himself, he now leads a nonprofit aimed at helping kids and parents reclaim their time and mental wellbeing in the age of endless scrolling and instant dopamine hits.Through candid stories, Ian shares how recognizing the negative impact of his gaming habit (sometimes up to 14 hours a day in college) prompted a complete lifestyle shift. He ultimately launched selfctrl, dedicated to equipping both youth and adults with the skills and frameworks to develop healthier relationships with screens. From school assemblies to workshops for parents, Ian and his team offer practical, actionable steps for families feeling overwhelmed by technology.What's striking is the universality of the challenge. Ian highlights stories ranging from elementary-age children struggling to put down YouTube to adults admitting addiction to mobile games and social media.

Ever wondered how to talk to your children about loss in a way that's both gentle and meaningful? In this powerful episode of Reading with Your Kids, author Hannah van Campen shares her incredible journey of creating "Believe," a children's picture book that tackles grief in the most beautiful way possible. Inspired by her personal experience of losing her father, Hannah crafted a touching story about a child and a caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly. The book isn't just a story—it's a tool for healing, complete with journaling pages that encourage families to preserve precious memories. What makes this conversation so special is how it challenges the traditional, hushed approach to discussing loss. Hannah and host Jed Doherty agree that children are far more resilient and understanding than we often give them credit for. They're not fragile; they're curious and capable of processing complex emotions when we approach them with honesty and compassion. The book's magic lies in its metaphor: just because someone changes form doesn't mean they're gone. It's a powerful message that can help kids understand loss across various situations—whether it's a loved one's passing, a friend moving away, or even saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Parents, take note: this isn't about shielding kids from grief, but walking through it together. The book provides a gentle, accessible way to have those tough conversations, turning a potentially painful experience into an opportunity for connection and healing. Hannah's approach is simple yet profound: remember the love, cherish the memories, and understand that those we love are always with us, just in a different way. "Believe" isn't just a book—it's a compassionate guide for families navigating the complex landscape of loss. We also welcome back author Fahad Siddiqui from Young Trees Education. Fahad shares his innovative approach to transforming education through AI-powered lesson plan generators. Focusing on developing critical skills like creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, Fahad aims to make learning more engaging and dynamic for students, moving beyond traditional rote memorization methods. Fahad also discusses his educational book series, including Mission Upcycle, which encourages children to be creative with recycled materials, and the Our Story series, which highlights lesser-known historical figures like Razia Sultana. His ultimate goal is to empower children, provide them with tools for future success, and inspire a more thoughtful, sustainable approach to learning and living.

In today's episode, I sit down with Mark Papadas, author, coach, and founder of I AM 4 Kids, to talk about building self-identity early in life. After years of coaching adults, Mark realized real change starts with kids, teaching them to control their own "I Am" statements before negative self-talk takes root. We break down how children pick up damaging beliefs without anyone intentionally teaching them, and why phrases like "I'm fat" or "I'm stupid" become internalized far too young. Mark shares how persistence, curiosity, and ingenuity come naturally to kids, and how keeping those traits alive can transform their confidence for life.

What do you do when your child refuses to eat? When food, health, and body image turn into a dangerous battleground? In this deeply moving episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the devastating reality of eating disorders — with insights from a brave young woman who overcame anorexia, her incredible family, and a specialist psychologist who shares life-saving advice for parents. KEY POINTS 90% of teens have negative thoughts about their bodies; eating disorders affect far too many young people, especially girls. Social media and “diet culture” fuel body dissatisfaction, validation-seeking, and dangerous habits. Even the most loving parents can have children who perceive themselves as unlovable — perception is reality for struggling kids. Parents play a vital role: showing up consistently and lovingly is powerful even when it feels unnoticed. Warning signs to watch for include: Loose, baggy clothing (to hide weight loss or from skin sensitivity) Avoiding family meals, picking at food, or excessive “health consciousness” Withdrawing socially, prioritizing exercise obsessively Personality changes, irritability, especially around meals Parents need extraordinary patience, kindness, and firmness — staying at the table for hours if necessary, showing the eating disorder who’s stronger. Separate “the eating disorder voice” from your child’s real self in your interactions. It’s less about finding the “cause” and more about focusing on healing. The Butterfly Foundation (butterfly.org.au) is an excellent resource for specialist help. QUOTE OF EPISODE #1299 "You need to show that eating disorder that you're stronger than it, more patient than it, and you will sit there as long as it takes — because your child is worth fighting for." — Christine Gregory RESOURCES MENTIONED The Butterfly Foundation — national support for eating disorders Parental Guidance episode (stream on 9Now) Happy Families articles and resources on connection and body image (happyfamilies.com.au) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS 1. Watch for early warning signs and trust your instincts — you know your child best.2. Be patient, kind, and firm — sit with your child at meals and don’t let the eating disorder win.3. Separate your child’s identity from the illness; speak to your child, not to the disorder.4. Don’t obsess over what “caused” it — focus on healing and connection.5. Seek professional help early through organizations like the Butterfly Foundation.6. Show up consistently: being present every day sends a powerful message of love and commitment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“You don’t let other people tell you what beautiful is.”In this heartfelt episode of the Happy Families Podcast, Justin and Kylie Coulson reflect on the powerful lessons from Parental Guidance Season 3, Episode 3, exploring body image, self-worth, and how parents can shape their children’s relationship with their bodies—for better or worse. With vulnerable personal stories and actionable advice, they discuss how to shift the focus from looks to function, joy, and character. KEY POINTS: Parents’ comments and attitudes about bodies deeply influence their children’s self-image. Many women carry lasting scars from childhood comments about their weight or looks. Society promotes a narrow and unhealthy definition of “beautiful.” Teach children to focus on what their bodies can do, not just how they look. Affirm children’s inner qualities and character as “beautiful” rather than only appearance. Complimenting children should be consistent and not dependent on clothing, makeup, or occasions. Body image distortion is common and can start young; words and modelling matter. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "When discussing body image, we need to move away from beauty. Instead, emphasise functionality, emphasise finding joy, and focus on what you can do, not what you look like. More than anything, remember that beauty is best defined by who you are and not how you look." — Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Miss-connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk by Justin Coulson Karen Young & Hey Sigmund — resources supporting children’s mental health and self-worth Parental Guidance Season 3 ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reflect on your own language and attitudes about bodies—what messages are you passing on? Focus compliments on your child’s inner qualities and abilities, not just their looks. Emphasise the functionality and strength of your child’s body (“Look how strong your legs are!”) rather than its appearance. Avoid shaming or criticising children’s food choices or weight. Let your child know they are always beautiful to you, regardless of what they’re wearing or how they look. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we help kids build resilience, especially after facing trauma? How do we teach kids the skills they need to persevere after pain?Dr. Nicole Wilke had a front-row seat to the impact trauma can have on a child's development. Her parents had a heart for kids with the hardest stories and welcomed seventy children through foster care and adoption. This experience had a profound impact on Dr. Wilke as she watched her siblings grow and struggle after experiencing pain. It was out of her own experience that she was drawn to the work she does now through the Christian Alliance for Orphans Research Center, where she is on the front lines of discovering how we can best help kids who have experienced difficult things find a way forward.Her latest book, which she co-authored—**Overcoming: What Scripture and Science Say About Resilience**—offers practical wisdom backed by science to help kids take whatever challenges they are facing and use them as fuel to build resilience that will carry them throughout their lives.In this episode, Davey talks with Dr. Wilke about how God is in the business of redeeming our kids' stories of difficulty, why our vision matters when it comes to the trauma kids experience, and how to build a child's resilience so that they can move forward through whatever may come.If you are a parent or love a child who has experienced challenges and difficulties due to trauma or pain, this conversation will encourage you that God can take the most painful moments and use them in our kids' lives so that they can become resilient overcomers.

Clinical neuropsychologist and co-author of The Self-Driven Child, Dr. William Stixrud joins me for a powerful conversation about how we can raise confident, resilient kids by helping them feel a greater sense of control, without giving up our role as parents.   Together we explore:   Why a low sense of control is one of the most stressful experiences a child (or adult) can have, and how we can support our kids in feeling more agentful in their lives. How secure attachment and autonomy are deeply connected—and why attachment must come first. What SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is and how parents can use techniques from this modality whether your child has anxiety or not. Why Dr. Stixrud started saying “I love you too much to fight with you about homework” and how you can use this too to defuse power struggles and build internal motivation. Tips for how parents can more successfully respond to children's behaviors that they can't control, like tantrums, hitting, or screaming. Why stepping in too often can interrupt neurological processes that help kids learn, adapt, and build resilience. How to support self-driven learning, encourage safe risk-taking, and build a foundation of mutual respect in your family.   If you're looking to reduce conflict and build more trust in your parent-child relationship, this conversation is filled with evidence-based insight and practical tools you won't want to miss!     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:
