In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why more young people are disengaging from education and work and why the answer may begin much earlier than adolescence. They discuss the importance of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence, as well as the role that parents, schools, churches, and communities can play in helping kids discover that they are capable and created to contribute. Parents and leaders will be encouraged to look beyond early warning signs and instead help children recognize the gifts and purposes God has already placed within them.
Even when everything is going right, parenting a neurodivergent kid can be emotional. (And yes, I cry this episode... twice.) This week, Penn and I are joined by our friend, child psychologist, and author Dr. Emily King, to help teach us what our neurodivergent kids need to learn and be successful.We talk about why “just try harder” doesn't work, how to know when to push your kid, why girls can fly under the radar, and how small systems like checklists can make a huge difference. We also get emotional talking about our own experiences navigating school accommodations, and Dr. Emily gives some words of encouragement we can use with our own children.Not only does Dr. Emily King help kids with ADHD, autism, learning differences, and giftedness... she also had an incredible voice. So obviously, we couldn't leave without a surprise song parody to summarize the show. (And she even sings it with us! Should we do more of these?) This conversation left us feeling less overwhelmed, and reminded that success doesn't have to look the same for every kid. I hope it does the same for you.We love to hear from you!

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new research showing how severe early childhood stress can leave lasting biological effects while also emphasizing that those effects do not have to determine a child's future. They discuss the difference between healthy stress that builds resilience and traumatic stress that overwhelms, as well as the importance of presence, patience, compassion, and safe relationships in helping children heal. Parents will be encouraged to look beneath behavior and remember that consistent, loving adults can play a powerful role in rebuilding security and hope.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
If you've ever wondered why dysregulated kids need calm authority, the answer starts with the parent who leads instead of reacts. In this episode, Dr. Roseann shares a powerful lesson from her mother and explains how Regulation First Parenting™ helps families build emotional safety, resilience, and lasting regulation.If you've ever felt like you have to be louder, stricter, or more forceful to get your child to listen, you're not alone. But it's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, I share one of the greatest gifts my mother ever gave me: calm authority. Her steady leadership taught me that true strength isn't about control—it's about creating emotional safety.You'll learn why behavior is communication, how your nervous system shapes your child's ability to regulate, and the simple mindset shift that can completely change difficult parenting moments. Let's calm the brain first.Why Do Dysregulated Kids Need Calm Authority Instead of Punishment?Many parents believe stronger consequences create better behavior. The truth is, dysregulated kids don't learn through fear—they learn through safety.When your child is overwhelmed, their thinking brain goes offline. Your calm nervous system becomes the anchor that helps them return to regulation.Key takeaways:Calm authority creates emotional safety.Leadership isn't permissiveness—it's steadiness.Your child borrows your regulation before they build their own.Imagine your child screaming after school. Instead of matching their intensity, you pause, stay grounded, and guide them through the moment. That's Regulation First Parenting™ in action.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why screens may affect children differently at key stages of development and what kids need from parents that technology cannot provide. They discuss the importance of love, touch, interaction, working memory, and real world experiences while helping parents think beyond simply limiting screen time. Parents will be encouraged to consider not only how much screen time their children have, but what that screen time may be replacing and whether their kids are getting the attentive, face-to-face relationships they need to grow well.

For years, many people assumed mothers were biologically wired for parenting while fathers simply learned on the job. But new research is revealing something remarkable: fatherhood changes men, too. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore how becoming a dad literally reshapes a man's hormones and heart. More importantly, they discuss why Scripture has always pointed to the unique and complementary role of fathers in raising secure and confident children. Whether you're a dad, a mom, a kid, or simply want to encourage the fathers around you, this conversation offers hope and a renewed vision for one of God's greatest callings.
Are you struggling to balance the demands of a high-pressure career with your mental well-being, or worried about how technology is affecting your child's development? In this episode of Nothing But The Truth, hosts Bob Bianchi and Dave Bruno sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Liz Nissim to explore the intersection of professional wellness and modern parenting. Learn why letting children be bored is a superpower and how high-achieving professionals can reclaim their time and sanity. The conversation dives deep into the concept of the childhood spirit and why many adults lose their sense of curiosity as they age. Dr. Liz explains the psychological necessity of boredom for children, noting that over-scheduled lives and constant screen time are stripping away the ability to self-regulate. For the professionals and attorneys listening, this episode provides a vital roadmap for identifying burnout before it becomes a crisis, emphasizing the need for strict boundaries in an era of instant digital access. From discussing the dopamine hits of social media to the importance of embracing the suck in a demanding profession, this episode covers the essential strategies needed to stay resilient. Dr. Liz shares her expert perspective on how to protect the next generation from the permanent footprint of the internet while maintaining a healthy, curious mindset as an adult.
Our opportunity as parents is to set loving boundaries. This will involve saying "yes" whenever we can and "no" as often as we need to. When it comes to tech, it is unloving to give our children gifts we know will harm them or those around them. Instead we give them gifts that will produce good fruit, that are safe by design and, in the case they're not inherently safe, they are appropriate for this child in this season.Creating loving boundaries models the love God has for us, and the love He showed even to Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:22). We can extend this same mercy and love to our kids, and it starts by having healthy boundaries around our tech.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4oQiaUQ

Why does connection, caregiving, parenting, friendship, and community feel so hard right now? Author Stephanie Malia Krauss is here to talk about the “weather” we're all living in right now: we're overtapped, overworked, overstimulated, and overwrought. And honestly, when I read that, I felt like she had put language to something so many of us are carrying around without even realizing it.Stephanie and I both know what it feels like to be raised by a community. We talk about the adults who showed up in small ways when we were kids: the friend's mom who always had a snack waiting, the counselor with animal crackers in her office, the parents who figured out rides, and the people who kept opening doors even when we weren't ready to tell the truth.This episode is all about the tiny ways people can help us feel human again, and why none of us were ever meant to do this alone.In this episode you'll hear about:How Stephanie's “dangerous weather” framework explains the exhaustion so many of us feel right nowWhat Stephanie and I learned from unlocked doors, team jackets, special snacks, and tiny check-insAskables, anchors, and activators, and why kids need more than one caring adult in their livesHow being praised for self-sufficiency, responsibility, and caregiving can become its own kind of trapResources & LinksCheck out Stephanie's new book, How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves In a Changing World.Stephanie's other books include Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World and Whole Child, Whole Life.This episode is sponsored by Are We Friends Yet?, Alex's book on building the support system you've been wanting.

Ashley flips the script on how we talk about weight with kids — moving away from diets, BMI, and body shame, and toward understanding what the body is actually telling us. She explains how hormones like GLP-1, GIP, and PYY are made in the gut lining, why antibiotics and medications can disrupt them for years, and what that means for growing bodies. The conversation also tackles the rising use of GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) in kids as young as 10 — what the research says, what parents and teens should know, and why these medications are a tool, not a solution on their own.

As Halle Stanford drove through Topanga Canyon in Southern California, with Dolly Parton blasting from the car speakers, she was struck by a moment of inspiration. “I had this vision of a little hedgehog on the side of the road in her little pink hiking boots, with her guitar in her bag, out to find the wows of the world,” says Stanford, an independent television producer. A few days later, she came across research from UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center showing that awe — the emotion we experience when we encounter vast mysteries that we don't understand — inspires us to care for the planet and one another. “And I was like, ‘Bingo, that's it.'”That connection became the basis for Wowsabout, a new Jim Henson Company puppet preschool special on PBS designed to bring awe to young audiences. Created by Stanford and puppeteer Dorien Davies, the 30-minute special maps the journeys of Roxy, a free-spirited hedgehog, and Ronald, a fastidious city pig, as they explore Sequoia National Park. Together, they experience moments of awe, like when standing beneath towering Sequoias and watching migrating California tortoiseshell butterflies. And they meet others along the way, including Pekan, a puppet representing the endangered southern Sierra Nevada fisher who guides them to see historic pictographs carved into the park's rock formations. Awe isn't a luxury emotion, but an evolutionary necessity, says Dacher Keltner, a Berkeley psychology professor and the founding director of the Greater Good Science Center. “It makes kids kinder, it makes kids more creative. … Awe really helps kids stay curious, and be in love with big ideas.”Keltner has studied the science of awe for more than a decade, and in 2023 published the book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life. He served as a science consultant and co-executive producer for Wowsabout. In this episode of Berkeley Talks, Stanford and Davies join Keltner and others from the Greater Good Science Center — education director Vicki Zakrzewski and parenting program director Maryam Abdullah — in a talk moderated by Sarah Bracken, education outreach and school partnerships manager at the center. The group discusses the logistical hurdles of translating wonder into film and why cultivating everyday curiosity has become an essential antidote to modern social disconnection. The conversation took place on May 13 and was hosted by the Greater Good Science Center. Watch a video of the panel discussion.

In helping our anxious children, it is important to understand the context in which they are growing up in and how that might contribute to their struggles. Stephanie Malia is an author, educator and social worker who has provided us with a guide to navigate the complexity of parenting in our current age. She has just published her third book, How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World. In this book, she explores the urgent need to protect human essentials, like sleep, play and connection-that modern life restricts or denies. She points out the modern era has been characterized by an accelerated rate of change in many domains that we are not equipped to metabolize. She identifies the dangerous "weather conditions" of modern life and after interviewing over a 100 experts for her book, how we can intentionally "Rehumanize" or get back to the essentials that help us thrive. She is talking about the foundation we need to strive for to help all children and especially our anxious ones. Her previous books are Whole Child, Whole Life and Making It : What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World For more information www.rehumaning.com
What happens when we stop hovering and start trusting our kids a little more? In this episode of the Mindful Mama Podcast, Hunter talks with Lenore Skenazy — president of Let Grow and author of Free-Range Kids — about why childhood independence is becoming one of the most important parenting conversations of our time. After a media firestorm erupted when she allowed her 9-year-old son to ride the subway alone, Lenore became a leading voice advocating for kids' freedom, resilience, and confidence. Together, Hunter and Lenore unpack the cultural fear driving overprotective parenting, the rise in childhood anxiety, and the growing movement to normalize age-appropriate independence again. They explore how programs like The Let Grow Experience help families break the worry cycle, why “reasonable childhood independence” laws are spreading across the country, and how small acts of freedom can transform both kids and parents. This conversation is hopeful, practical, and deeply empowering for any parent wondering how to raise capable, confident kids in a fear-filled culture. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why childhood independence is directly connected to confidence and mental health How overprotection can unintentionally increase anxiety in children What “reasonable childhood independence” laws actually protect Why today's world is statistically safer than many parents think How the Let Grow movement helps families break the fear cycle Age-appropriate ways to start building independence Why small risks are essential for resilience and growth How parents themselves often change through the process of letting go About Lenore Skenazy Lenore Skenazy is the president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience. After becoming known as “America's Worst Mom” for letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway alone, she wrote Free-Range Kids and became a national voice for childhood freedom and reasonable risk-taking. Resources Mentioned Let Grow Website The Let Grow Experience (Schools Program) Four Weeks to a Let Grow Kid Lenore's TED Talk (2025) Key Takeaways Independence is not neglect — it's preparation for adulthood. Kids build confidence by doing hard things without constant intervention. Anxiety often shrinks when competence grows. Parents' fears are understandable, but many are culturally amplified rather than statistically grounded. Children need chances to solve problems, make mistakes, and experience responsibility. Small moments of independence can transform family dynamics.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Modern life has become a gauntlet of "dangerous weather" that frequently strips away our most basic human needs.In this episode, Emily speaks with author and strategist Stephanie Malia Kraus about her book, How We Thrive, and the essential practice of "rehumaning." Stephanie breaks down the four systemic forces, from hustle culture to addictive tech, that undermine our well-being and offers a roadmap for reclaiming play, wonder, and rest. The discussion bridges the gap between ancient Hawaiian wayfinding and modern neuroscience, highlighting the critical importance of restorative "downstates" and simple regulation tools for navigating an increasingly overstimulated world.Listen and Learn:How the Hawaiian tradition of Wayfinding teaches us to navigate a world that has "shifted on its axis" by anchoring into timeless human essentials, and influenced Stephanie's bookWhy the friction you feel in parenting isn't a personal failure, but a biological mismatch between our human nature and modern society Recognizing the four universal forces: Overtapped, Overworked, Overstimulated, and Overwrought, and understanding why feeling depleted isn't a personal failure, but a natural response to the "stormy" conditions of modern living Why our modern "social jet lag", the mismatch between our hectic schedules and our biological needs, is fueling a youth mental health crisis, and how reclaiming "human essentials" like sleep, play, and internal attunement can act as a biological superpower for both parents and teens How the practices of celebrating small wins, contributing to others, and nurturing an inborn sense of belief act as biological shields that restore our dignity and spark a protective sense of hope even in the most difficult seasons of life How "lemon squeezes", a simple technique of tensing and releasing your muscles for 20 seconds, uses the science of progressive muscle relaxation to signal safety to your nervous system and bring your body back into balance in less than a minute Resources:How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781071957561 https://rehumaningourlives.substack.com/https://www.rehumaning.com/Connect with Stephanie on Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@StephanieMaliaKrausshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemaliakrauss/https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemaliakrauss/ About Stephanie Malia KraussStephanie Malia Krauss is an author, speaker, and strategist focused on rehumaning childhood and our lives.

Send us Fan MailGrief can make even confident parents feel helpless, because there isn't a “right” thing to say that fixes what happened. We talk about how kids experience grief and loss, and why our first job is not solving the pain but staying connected through it. Along the way, we share personal stories that remind us grief is real whether it's death, distance in relationships, miscarriage, a major life change, or even the losses adults are tempted to call “small.” We get practical about what helps children grieve in a healthy way: validating emotions without judgment, resisting the urge to rush a timeline, and understanding that a child's grief can resurface months or years later as their brain develops and their meaning-making grows. We also talk about why adults often minimize grief to ease our own discomfort, and how that can shut down emotional growth and create long-term patterns kids carry into adulthood.
