Podcasts about just being friendly

I recently asked the The responses (https://www.instagram.com/p/CCe966bh2MV/) were amazing and I used them to craft a content calendar that I hope will be incredibly enriching and inspiring for all of you in the next many months. One comment in particular got so many likes from other mothers, that I knew we needed to address it on the podcast ASAP.  This comment from a mom with the Instagram handle “Merecooley” said, “I’d love to hear an episode about how to help children choose and navigate friend groups. It is such a strong outside influence! How much should I guide him/her on choosing friends? How do I explain red flags within unhealthy friendships without judgement for others decisions/difference?” It occurred to me that this could be a great topic for this month’s theme, which is YOU are your child’s most important teacher. What could be more important than explicitly teaching our children how to be a good friend and choose good friends? I’m so excited to introduce you to today’s guests who are going to dive deep into this topic: Kira Dorrian and Deana Thayer are the founders of Raising Adults (https://futurefocusedparenting.com/about-the-podcast/).” They say that they “aren't all about ‘raising kids’...instead they hope to raise fully functioning, happy, healthy adults and believe that parenting with a long-range view is the key to that.” Between them, Kira and Deana have a background in childbirth, sleep consulting, education and mental health. Dina is a mom and stepmom to five teenagers, and Kira is a mom to 9-year old boy-girl twins. I am incredibly excited for them to share their wisdom on teaching our children to choose good friends and be good friends today. Three Takeaways on How to Navigate Friendship:Remember the acronym PAL: 1) P - Pay Attention. Teach your children to pay attention to their friends’ behavior, how they treat people, and if that matches with what they believe to be the characteristics of a good friend.   2) A - Ask Great Questions. “How do you feel when you are around that friend?” “Do they always choose you, or do they go back and forth on whether or not you are their friend that day?” “Are they happy for you when you are happy?”  3) L - Lead By Example. how your children what it looks like to be a good friend by the way you connect with your own friends and talk about them when they aren’t around.  Show Notes Future Focused Parenting website (https://futurefocusedparenting.com/) Raising Adults Podcast (https://futurefocusedparenting.com/about-the-podcast/) Instagram for Future Focused Parenting (https://www.instagram.com/futurefocusedparenting/) FREE Calendar of Character Traits (https://futurefocusedparenting.us19.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ad0084fbce1e20d1bc32bd262&id=d583dd7ed1) Related Episodes Episode 20: How to Be a Friend Instead of Just Being Friendly (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/friendship/) with Brooke Romney  Episode 44: Three Strategies for Finding Joy after a Move (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/moving/) with Jessica Dahlquist Episode 93: How to Change Someone’s Life Without Knowing It (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/how-to-change-someones-life/) Sponsors: -Many thanks to Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls (https://www.rebelgirls.com/pages/podcast), a fairytale podcast about the extraordinary women who inspire us.

Let's imagine that you have a friend who, every time you get together, tells you all the things that she doesn't like about you and that she hopes you will change. Would you want to spend time with that friend or open up to her? Unfortunately, this is the basis of a lot of our interactions with our children, especially as they reach the teen years. We feel such great responsibility to teach them that we fail to see their progress and just focus on everything we want them to change. Brooke Romney (a returning guest from Episode 19, "How to Be a Friend Instead of Just Being Friendly") is an expert in prioritizing connection in our relationships. Today she's going to be teaching us how to talk *with* our teenagers instead of *at* them: Lecture less and listen more. Concentrate on seeing their good and compliment them; get excited about the things they are excited about; validate what they are going through.  Elevate your conversation. Instead of asking, “How was your day?”, get comfortable with tackling real-world issues that feel relevant and important to them.  Hold the judgment (of them and others). When you show grace with the faults of others, your kids realize you’ll show grace with their faults as well.
