Podcast appearances and mentions of Madeline Levine

“There is so much grace.”  That's what Melissa B. Kruger, Bible teacher, author of several books including Parenting with Hope, and vice president of discipleship programming at The Gospel Coalition wants families with teens to know. Not only that, it's what she hopes all who care about the next generation will bear in mind. On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Kruger shares insights gained from her years of raising three now-adult children. She talks about the importance of emphasizing relationships with Jesus and one another over a formulaic approach to faith or parenting. Moore and Kruger discuss practical issues in teen life, including mental health concerns, smartphone usage, and how families may be unintentionally raising young people to be “curated…rather than dearly beloved.”  Kruger and Moore offer hope for families that are struggling and encourage parents to think about preparing their children to encounter risks in the real world with wisdom and hope.

Leitura bíblica do dia: João 10:1-10 Plano de leitura anual: Ezequiel 14–15; Tiago 2; A psicóloga Madeline Levine notou o “disfarce dos cortes” da adolescente de 15 anos, uma camiseta de manga longa puxada até a metade de sua mão, comumente usada por pessoas que se automutilam. Quando a jovem levantou a manga, Levine ficou surpresa ao descobrir que ela havia usado uma navalha para escrever “vazio” em seu antebraço. A psicóloga ficou triste, mas também grata porque a adolescente estava receptiva para a ajuda de que tanto precisava. Os adolescentes representam, de alguma forma, muitos que gravaram “vazio” em seu coração. João escreveu que Jesus veio para preencher o vazio e oferecer vida abundante (João 10:10). Deus colocou em nós o desejo por uma vida plena e anseia que vivamos um relacionamento de amor com Ele. Mas Ele também advertiu que o “ladrão” usaria pessoas, coisas e circunstâncias para tentar devastar vidas (vv.1,10). Cada afirmação feita a fim de dar vida seria falsidade. Por outro lado, Jesus oferece a verdadeira “vida eterna” e a promessa de que ninguém nos arrebatará de Suas mãos (v.28). Só Jesus pode preencher o vazio de nosso coração com vida. Se você está se sentindo vazio, clame por Ele. E se estiver enfrentando dificuldades, procure um conselho divino. Somente Cristo concede vida abundante, plena e cheia de significado.

Dr. Madeline Levine is co-Founder of Challenge Success and a leading psychologist who has focused a great deal of her work on the mental health and challenges of young people coming of age in our modern society. In particular, in her book The Price of Privilege, she addressed a group that has been largely dismissed as being ‘fine,' but that is not, in fact, free from challenges: the children of wealthy families. In this Tugboat Institute® talk, Dr. Levine focuses on a skill that we all now accept as critical to survival in the modern world: resilience. As parents of children and as leaders of organizations, what can we do to foster this all-important skill in those we care about? Listen and gain confidence as you strive to support and inspire resilience in your children, your employees, and yourself.  

I was on the edge of my seat while I read her book, I was on the edge of my seat during this conversation, and I was on the edge of my seat while I edited it. You're going to love this one and you may even listen to it twice! If it's a favorite of yours, like it's a favorite of mine, share it with friends and family and make sure to subscribe and leave a review. In this week's episode of the podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Madeline Levine, a renowned psychologist and expert on child development with 40 years experience. One of the main themes of the conversation was the importance of understanding our failures in order to discover our strengths. Dr. Levine noted that often times, we learn the most from our mistakes and that they can serve as valuable learning experiences. She calls it trial-and-error learning instead of failure. Another key point that was discussed was the idea that most people do not have a straight path to success. Dr. Levine emphasized the importance of recognizing that life is a series of small challenges, and if we can meet them, we go on to bigger and bigger challenges. Additionally, Dr. Levine highlighted the damaging effects of being an over-involved parent and the importance of allowing our children to experience unhappiness. She also discussed the lack of management skills among today's youth, specifically in areas such as risk management and conflict management. Dr. Levine also urged listeners to think long and hard about what's going to matter in the long run, and emphasized the link between optimism and healthy mental health outcomes. She even talked about preparing ourselves for when our kids leave the nest. Overall, this is a thought-provoking and enlightening conversation with Dr. Levine, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did!

Do you ever lose sight of the end game? Sometimes as parents, we focus on the short game—grades, extracurricular activities, and how to fix things immediately for our kids. But does that actually serve them well as they grow into adulthood? Dr. Madeline Levine, a psychologist with 40 years experience, explains that kids don't need us to fix everything. They actually need adaptability, mental agility, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, resilience and optimism. And how do they learn those skills? By watching how we handle life and how we trust them to handle it well too. Don't forget to check out Our Favorite Things—A Resource Guide! Show links: Watch the full clip.

Madeline Levine es autora del libro “El precio del privilegio: cómo la presión parental y las ventajas materiales están creando una generación de niños infelices y desconectados”, donde explica lo siguiente: Usualmente, cuando pensamos en personas privilegiadas las relacionamos con una clase social. Pertenecer a la clase media alta es poder pagar el acceso a una universidad o darse el lujo de viajar al extranjero para vacaciones de verano e invierno. Sin embargo, ser una persona privilegiada no necesariamente tiene que ver con dinero, sino con la creencia de que se tiene algo que otros no. En este sentido, hay padres que educan a sus hijos bajo la idea de que son privilegiados porque son atletas, inteligentes, altos, hábiles para la música, las artes o porque son los primeros de la familia que irán a una universidad. Con todo, las paradojas para estos chicos es que tener un privilegio no lo viven como tal. En su mundo controlado dependen de los padres, de los maestros, de los coaches o entrenadores deportivos, de sus pares o de cualquier persona que les diga lo que tienen que hacer para seguir manteniendo el privilegio que los distingue de otros. Tutores, maestros particulares, coaches y psicoterapeutas de diversas corrientes, todos están en la lista de apoyo para que los hijos logren el éxito. Los padres que se involucran demasiado rebasan las fronteras personales de sus propios hijos. Nos referimos a los padres y las madres que exigen demasiado, incluso la sumisión. Pero, ¿por qué exigen tanto? ¿Qué les hace creer que pueden pedir tanto? Es necesario que los padres y las madres comprendan que sus hijos tienen derecho a tener su propia vida sin ser juzgados. Hoy en Diálogos Familia hablemos de: Le exijo demasiado a mi hijo.

In her latest book, Thrivers, child psychologist Dr. Michele Borba identifies seven teachable strengths that can safeguard kids for now and the future. To find these traits, Dr. Borba combed scientific studies on resilience, spoke to dozens of researchers and experts in the field, and interviewed more than 100 young people from all walks of life. Each strength is like a superpower that helps protect kids against the depression and anxiety that threatens to derail them. Better yet, when the superpowers are combined, they become even more potent, creating a Multiplier Effect that prepares children to succeed in our fast-paced, ever-changing world. And the best news of all: these strengths aren't inborn. They can be taught – and Dr. Borba shows parents and educators how to do it so kids cope today and thrive tomorrow. Unlike raising strivers set on top test scores and other resume-packing accolades, parents can learn how to raise thrivers—young people who flourish in a rapidly changing, anxiety-driven, uncertain world. Thrivers is a mix of keen cultural analysis of modern stresses and practical “how-to” strategies and everyday activities that build up kids' mental strength, resilience, happiness, and success.

If we shift the approach to tackling our child's Substance Use Disorder from trying to gain control to trying to understand what is going on at the inner child level, perhaps we can become better parents while also serving ourselves in becoming better individuals.

Bill Fagerbakke (Broadway) joins us to discuss this seminal episode.

We have found that having an outside pair of eyes and ears, specifically those of a trained psychologist, continues to help both Mom and I through challenging sections of life. When things have become really rocky in our mom-daughter relationship, it is usually a sign that we each need to take a harder look at ourselves individually. Therapists help us do that. Here is our story about the first time Mom and I went through some therapy both together and individually and the way it bettered us. We also discuss the importance of having friends who act as "outside" eyes and help us take the perspective of another person. We offer gratitude to Madeline Levine, Ph.D., researcher, and author of The Price of Privilege, referenced in this episode.

On November's episode of PrepTalks, Ned talks with Dr. Madeline Levine, author of several books, most recently, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World. Ned and Madeline discuss how parents who define success in terms of good grades, test scores, and admissions to elite colleges, and who are determined to shelter children from discomfort and anxiety, are setting future generations up to fail spectacularly.

Dr. Madeline Levine has spent almost four decades working as a clinician, consultant, educator and author. But, for all that experience, she knows there's one unassailable, universal truth – change is always on the horizon. That's especially true in today's world, where, like as not, you may wake up each day facing a totally new set of circumstances. That can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming for kids working to get prepared for a rapidly evolving world. That's why Levine authored “Ready or Not,” a book tailored at “how best to prepare our children and ourselves for an uncertain” world. On this episode of FranklinCovey Education's Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham and Levine dove into some of the lessons from “Ready or Not,” as well as Levine's history in educating the world and thinking critically about how we can best meet life head on. Levine, herself, knows about working through challenges and finding ways to grow. At one point, after losing her father as a teenager, she experienced tremendous upheaval and chaos. “I think my work really comes out of, ‘Life is tough.' I get it – life is tough,” she said. “It was really tough back then, and what I feel in my heart is that we shouldn't make it any harder than it is. … I love what I do, because it gives me a purpose, and I feel like I'm being helpful. I'm a big believer in purpose. “You've got to have a why.”

Dr. Madeline Levine contends that the role of parent has evolved into an unhealthy relationship with achievement and stress. The COVID-19 epidemic is throwing many into dual roles as both parent and full-time teacher, leaving many to wonder how to best serve our children—and what the long-term effects will be on their education.  Levine joined us for this livestream event with insight from her book Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World, offering some relief by tearing down the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame. She showed how these parenting practices, combined with a desperate need to shelter children from discomfort and anxiety, are setting future generations up to fail spectacularly. Drawing on fields from neuroscience to epigenetics, as well as extensive research gleaned from captains of industry, entrepreneurs, military leaders, scientists, academics, and futurists, Levine identified the skills that children need to succeed in a tumultuous future: adaptability, mental agility, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, resilience, and optimism. Listen in as Levine offers us day-to-day solutions for raising kids who are prepared, enthusiastic, and ready to face an unknown future with confidence and optimism. Dr. Madeline Levine, PhD, is a clinician, consultant, educator and speaker, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well. She is a cofounder of Challenge Success, a project of the Stanford Graduate School of Education that provides families and schools with the practical, research-based tools they need to create a more balanced and academically fulfilling life for kids.

Madeline Levine, PhD - The pandemic is still going strong and the date to open many states is being pushed out further and further. A few states are starting to open here and there but many parents still feel a lot of anxiety around going back to “normal” even as COVID-19 has claimed over a quarter of a million lives across the world, nearly 100, 000 of them in the US. What’s going on is impacting young children, older children and yes, parents too. Of course, parents too! There are questions of financial issues, emotional issues, mental issues, loneliness, fear, frustration and how we are all going to cope with the day to day as the day to day morphs into months and months. It puts a lot on our shoulders. Let’s not bury it. Let’s discuss it. Time to shine a light on what’s really going on behind closed doors. For this discussion, I’m interviewing Graeme Seabrook. Graeme Seabrook, The Mom for Moms, is a coach and writer who has been guiding and supporting mothers as they discover and reclaim themselves since 2014. She has worked with over 2500 moms since 2014 and in between clients she reads about moms, writes about moms, speaks about moms, learns from moms, and is a mom of two herself!  Her work springs from the truth that embracing your humanity is a mother’s deepest calling and the very best thing you can do for your family.Madeline Levine, Phd - We live in an uncertain world. Modern times from politics to illness to how the economy functions, racial and gender bias and even the opening and closings of schools and camps has taught us that. Nobody can perfectly predict what is to happen from year to year, month to month and even from day to day. The world we know can feel disturbing and unfamiliar, at times. In the wake of what feels increasingly threatening and unpredictable to parents, moms and dads are pushing their kids to excel, swooping in to rescue them from struggle if it gives them an extra edge, and leaving the kids unprepared, fragile and reliant on others when they are faced with challenges and adversity. And I can’t forget to mention, the stress and anxiety, exhaustion, overwhelm and distress that come in heaping portions when kids wake up facing a future that they have not been prepared for or they feel ill-equipped to cope with, it not exactly a recipe for success. Of course, we too, as parents are stressed out as we compare ourselves incessantly with the Jones’s who are leading their perfect lives on Facebook and Instagram while we worry about what school our children will attend, which extra sport or activity they can take to round out their resume and when in the world they will learn another language to make themselves more marketable. But, my next guest tells us, there is hope. We are learning what skills our children really need in order to succeed- and they have to do less with learning to code and taking AP history and more to do with adaptability, mental agility, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, resilience, and optimism. Most important, my next guest provides the day-to-day solutions parents can use to raise kids who are prepared, enthusiastic, and ready to face an unknown future with confidence and optimism. Madeline Levine, Ph.D. is a psychologist with over 35 years of experience as a clinician, consultant, educator and author. Her New York Times bestseller, The Price of Privilege, explores the reasons why teenagers from affluent families are experiencing epidemic rates of emotional problems.  Her follow up book, Teach Your Children Well, also a New York Times bestseller, tackles our current narrow definition of success – how it unnecessarily stresses academically talented kids and marginalizes many more whose talents and interests are less amenable to measurement.  Her current book, Ready or Not, focuses on how to best prepare our children and ourselves for an uncertain and rapidly changing world. Her books have been translated into multiple languages. Dr.

Introduction Welcome to Let’s Talk Family Enterprise, a podcast that explores the ideas, concepts and models that best serve Family Enterprise Advisors in supporting their clients.   Description In a time of crisis, as Family Enterprise Advisors (FEAs) we work hard to be the valuable and trusted resource to our client families. In his latest work, Borrowed from your Grandchildren, Dennis Jaffe reports on a research project where he interviewed family members from 100 global business families who had succeeded over more than three generations. The book shares their stories of continual reinvention and renewal, and how they responded to vast changes in their family and business worlds.   Guest host Steve Legler sits down with Dennis to discuss ways that FEAs can use the wisdom gleaned from this research in service of their family enterprise clients as they face the COVID-19 pandemic.   Guest bio For over 40 years, Dennis T. Jaffe has been one of the leading architects in the field of family enterprise consulting. As both an organizational consultant and clinical psychologist, he helps multi-generational families to develop governance practices that build the capability of next-generation leadership and ensure the ongoing capability of financial organizations and family offices to serve their family clients.   He is also a Family Business Scholar at the Smith Family Business Initiative at Cornell University, a faculty advisor at the Ultra High Net Worth Institute, a regular contributor to Forbes Leadership channel, reporting on family cross-generational family business and wealth, and a professional member of the Society for Trust and Estate Planners (STEP).   For 35 years, he was a Professor of Organizational Systems and Psychology at Saybrook University in San Francisco, where he is now Professor Emeritus. He received his B.A. in Philosophy, M.A. in Management and Ph.D. in Sociology from Yale University.   More about Dennis here.   Key Takeaways [0:16] Steve introduces Dennis Jaffe and asks his guest to explain the origin, nature and goal of his most recent book. [4:38] Dennis touches on the qualitative and narrative research used to build the theories and common themes covered in the book. [6:00] From facing a crisis head-on to having the ability to reinvent and redefine who you are as a family and as a business, Dennis shares some tips for family advisors derived from successful multi-generational family businesses. [10:04] Where does a family’s energy for change come from? [12:11] Dennis touches on the notion of a Family Bank to invest and foster the next generation’s ideas and creativity both for money-making and social impact ventures. [14:38] Advisors can be useful in ways that families may not ask or expect, Dennis shares a few examples of how this can manifest in the field. [19:06] “Which one of my kids is going to be the successor?” Dennis explains how and why, when looking at 100-year family businesses, this is the wrong question. He also explains the need to challenge the very questions people want help with.

We've got a special treat today: Billboard Happiness' first interview with a book author! In this case, it's authors (plural) because we got to talk to Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, the co-authors of one of Laura's HALL-OF-FAME parenting books: The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives. As the renowned child psychologist, Dr. Madeline Levine, says about the book: "It is not an overstatement to say that this is one of the most radical and important books on raising healthy, resilient, purpose-driven kids."We believe this book is really a gamechanger for the world of parenting, and so we are just beyond thrilled that Bill and Ned joined us for this inaugural interview. And a heads up: Given that this was recorded at the height of COVID-19 (April 5, 2020), we start the interview by asking their best advice on parenting in the age of COVID before diving into the main concepts in the book. It's a long episode, but it's one that's well worth your time.

New episode - and so needed right now! Madeline Levine, Ph.D., is a psychologist and the author of the New York Times best-selling books The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well. Dr. Levine’s most recent book Ready Or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World could not be more timely or helpful given the current environment. She explores how today’s parenting techniques and our educational system are failing to prepare children for their uncertain future, and what we can do to ensure our kids' adaptability, resilience, health, and happiness. (I know I need this during this current coronavirus time of uncertainty and panic.) Dr. Levine is a wealth of knowledge on parenting. We chatted about her efforts to overcome the idea that a woman can’t beat the boys, how people behave in situations of uncertainty and the concept that to build self-esteem in your child you must let them learn to master things without breathing down their necks. We discussed how pressure, uncertainty, and social media have led to a rise in anxiety and how our 24-hour news cycle can leave us feeling like trauma victims. Dr. Levine explores concrete solutions and coping mechanisms we can use to correct that behavior. I think we could all use these strategies today.  

The New York Times bestselling author talks to Daniella and Andrew about anxiety and discusses techniques for kids to thrive in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.

We are living in an ever-changing world. Our kids are living in an ever-changing world. This might be a scary notion to many, especially considering what is going on in our world right now.But what if we had the capability of improving our child’s resilience? What if we could teach our kids to systematically move towards their fears instead of away from them. What if we could teach our kids how to build up their ability to be adaptable, flexible and thrive under challenging conditions.In the latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Madeline Levine on to discuss just that. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Teach Your Child Well and The Price of Privilege. In her new book, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World, she talks about the necessity for us to shift gears in how we approach parenting.We discussed what skills our children will need to be successful and how we, as parents, can foster those skills.To listen click here:To learn more about Madeline Levine’s work visit her website https://madelinelevine.com or view her books here on Amazon (affil links):Ready or Not: https://amzn.to/3bkMpMHThe Price of Privilege: https://amzn.to/2UejxjOTeach Your Child Well: https://amzn.to/2xi1Qqj***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCDhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxiety

John O’Sullivan and James Leath get together and do a free webinar about how to support your kids and your athletes during these uncertain times. First, John shares practical advice about what you should do to help kids cope with what is going on, including defining success, being careful not to rupture any relationships, and do whatever you can to build a sense of purpose and responsibility.      Then, James shares from a previous webinar about how to create a virtual practice session with your athletes, from creating a group chat, to choosing a video platform, to organizing the session.      To watch the replay and download the handout, visit https://bit.ly/2J0y4ZO     Here are some other people quoted during the webinar:   “Under the right circumstances, children will develop in optimal ways” – Madeline Levine     "If you’re on a crowded plane and one person is freaking out about turbulence, the panic will eventually peter out. If, on the other hand, six people are freaking out, it’s entirely possible that it will spread and overtake the rest of the plane.

We all want our kids to be successful right? But what do you mean by success? How do you measure success? Sure we all want our kids to be “successful” but how you do define it and according to what parameters? Got you thinking?

Adam Cohen talks about “Supreme Inequality,” and Madeline Levine discusses “Ready or Not.”

Did you know? A report by Common Sense found: 51 percent of teens visit social networking sites on a daily basis. More than a third of teens visit their main social networking site several times a day. 1 in 4 teens is a heavy social media user, using at least two different types of social media each day. (June, 2019) Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snap Chat can be great ways for teens to connect with one another; but social media can be problematic for several reasons. For instance, social media can expose your teen to cyberbullying, slut shaming, and so much more. And, while there are some benefits to social media, there are a lot of risks as well.   How is social media impacting our teens’ brains? In a recent study, researchers at the UCLA brain mapping center used an fMRI scanner to image the brains of 32 teenagers as they used a bespoke social media app resembling Instagram. "When teens learn that their own pictures have supposedly received a lot of likes, they show significantly greater activation in parts of the brain's reward circuitry," says lead author Lauren Sherman. "This is the same group of regions responding when we see pictures of a person we love or when we win money." Sherman believes these results could have important implications among this age group. “Reward circuitry is thought to be particularly sensitive in adolescence," says Sherman, "It could be explaining, at least in part, why teens are such avid social media users." Adolescence is a period that is very important for social learning, which could explain why teens are often more tuned in to what's going on in their respective cultures. With the rise of social media, Sherman thinks we may even be learning to read likes and shares instead of facial expressions. "Before, if you were having a face to face interaction everything is qualitative. You use someone's gestures or facial expressions, that sort of thing, to see how effective your message is," she says. "Now if you go online, one of the ways that you gauge the effectiveness of your message is in the number of likes, favorites or retweets, and this is something that's really different and unique about online interaction."   What effect is social media having on teens’ mental health? Here are areas of negative impact: >Depression Researchers are just beginning to establish a link between depression and social media. While they have not actually discovered a cause and effect relationship between social media and depression, they have discovered that social media use can be associated with an intensification of the symptoms of depression, including a decrease in social activity and an increase in loneliness. >Anxiety Teens often feel emotionally invested in their social media accounts. Not only do they feel pressure to respond quickly online, but they also feel pressure to have perfect photos and well-written posts, all of which can cause a great deal of anxiety. In fact, some studies have found that the larger a teen's social circle online the more anxiety they feel about keeping up with everything online. It takes a lot of time and effort to keep up with the unspoken rules and culture of each social media platform. As a result, this puts additional pressure on teens, which can cause feelings of anxiety. >Sleep Deprivation Sometimes teens spend so many hours on social media that they begin to lose valuable sleep. Consequently, this sleep loss can lead to moodiness, a drop in grades, and overeating, as well as exacerbate existing problems like depression, anxiety, and ADD. >Communication Issues While social media is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, it also is not the same as face-to-face communication. For instance, a teen cannot see a person's facial expressions or hear their tone of voice online. As a result, it is very easy for misunderstandings to occur, especially when people try to be funny or sarcastic online. Many teens spend so much time online checking statuses and likes that they forget to interact with the people right in front of them. For this reason, friendships and dating relationships can suffer when social media takes center stage in a person's life. As a result, teens risk having relationships that are not deep or authentic.   What can you do to help your teens? Parenting today has a lot more complexity than it did for previous generations. The addition of the Internet, cell phones, and other forms of technology not only add more to think about but a faster pace of change. New social media sites crop up daily, apps are appearing like weeds, and access is ever-present. It's overwhelming to stay on top of it, and nearly impossible to monitor everything. Still, while it seems easiest to throw your hands up in the air, the best thing to do is to learn as much as you can and arm yourself with knowledge. You may not be able to watch everything, but sometimes the key is just to show that you're paying attention at all. The list of concerns for digital parenting are long, but here are some of the basics with information, tips, and resources for all of them. Mobile Devices Tips: Collect all devices and turn them off before bed. Store and charge them together in a central location or, if necessary, in the parents' bedroom.  Help kids understand the dangers of sexting and cyberbullying. Teach them to report inappropriate behavior to you or another adult.  Start kids out with simple phones with no data plan. Once they've shown responsibility for those devices, consider graduating them to a more expensive phone. Tips: Keep an ongoing dialogue with your kids about social media. Maybe ask them for a tutorial on their favorite site. Not only is that empowering for them, it helps you understand why they enjoy a site and how they use it. Don't deliberately try to embarrass or humiliate your kids - it sends a poor message about appropriate behavior and it's not something you can take back later.  Be thoughtful about what you share online, both in terms of what your kids can see, but also what you're saying about them.  Take cyberbullying and other inappropriate online behaviors seriously.  The most important things to remember are: Talk with your kids about concerns and dangers, but also listen to what they have to say. Be involved. Know what they are doing online and how all of the social media sites work. Set rules and boundaries just like everything else. Kids will cross them, but they still need to know where the lines are.   What might be things to include in the Family Rules? >Keep devices for social media access out of the bedroom. Children who get in trouble online often do so when their means of access – phone, iPad, computer – are located in the bedroom. To avoid this, only allow your teen to access social media outside of the bedroom. >Follow set time limits for social media usage. One reason you should set time limits, says Madeline Levine, is that when teens spend too much time online they are not able to spend time doing things like building relationships and collaborating with other people. An hour on social media sites may not be bad at the end of the day. However, spending all afternoon chatting with friends online rather than going outside and spending actual time with friends can be.   >Allow mom and dad to friend and follow. Before permitting your child to access social media, such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, Yalda T. Uhls suggests setting up the rule that you are to be their friend on these sites. This way you can monitor the content they are putting out to the world. >Give parents their passwords to devices and social media sites. Tina Meier notes the only way to know for sure what your children are doing online is to have access to their accounts. You can tell your children that while you aren’t going to check every day, you will monitor usage.   >Post appropriate content and images only. Kids don’t understand that what goes out onto the Internet is often there to stay. Even social media sites like SnapChat, which was originally created to allow users to send a quick impermanent photo or message to friends, can be made permanent by taking a screenshot, says Uhls. You need to tell your teen that whatever is posted to social media – pictures, short blurbs of how they feel, words about others – should be posted with the idea that the information or images will be available to anyone, anywhere and at any time – because, in all likelihood, they are.   >Prepare for consequences when these rules are broken. If your child gets caught online in the bedroom or is found to have sent something inappropriate to friends via social media, consequences should be in place and followed. This may mean losing the device used to access social media for a set period of time or losing access to the social media account altogether.   >Keep private information private. The advent of social media has made ‘meeting’ strangers so easy that teenagers, and people of all ages, often forget these are really strangers they are talking to. It’s imperative parents teach teens to utilize social media safely. This means never giving out private information if a stranger could obtain that information. And if a stranger ‘friends’ your teen on Facebook, Theresa M. recommends asking your teen to unfriend this person in case his or her intentions are not good.   Quotes: “Social Media sites creates [an] illusion of connectivity.”   Malay Shah, TheDailyMind.com “Distracted from distraction by distraction.” T.S.

Madeline Levine: Teaching Your Children Well | Steve Hargadon | Apr 9 2013 by Steve Hargadon

In this episode you will hear: (5:03) In this week’s news, an article from The Atlantic, “College Sports Are Affirmative Action for Rich White Students” by Saahil, Desai. African American males are known to dominate college football and basketball, but according to Desai, this is not a true reflection of who has access to college sports. It was found that 61 percent of student athletes in 2017 were white, and that percentage was even higher for elite institutions. Lower profile sports favored by white student athletes like the following 13 sports: sailing, golf, water polo, fencing, and lacrosse (let me add squash and equestrian, ice hockey, gymnastics, crew, field hockey, diving and skiing are where a lot of the preference is being given in college admissions, even though this falls under the radar. . And though they are low profile to the general public, athletes in these sports are often white and affluent but unlike the public perception, they are getting more preference than alumni, students of color or any other admission preference. The irony is that these sports are expenditure sports, meaning they cost the colleges money. Furthermore, they rarely gather crowds of students in a way that injects school spirit and brings the community together. (25:52) We are in Chapter 76 of 171 Answers and Mark shares the mistakes that parents make in the college application process. Parents do so many wonderful things but the parents who listen need to know where many of the errors are made. Anika admits to making many of these errors herself. Mark and Anika discuss about eight common errors that parents make. If this topic interests you, Mark interviewed Brennan Barnard on episodes 39, 40 and 41 about this topic and we discussed 20 errors for a conversation that lasted about an hour over three episodes. This is an abridged version of that discussion. (39:26) This week’s question is from a listener who wants to find out which schools offer need blind or no loan financial aid that are not hyper-competitive. Mark starts out by explaining the difference between being need-blind and meeting full financial need, something that is often confused. No loan policies were introduced by Princeton in 2001. Mark shares the 19 schools that offer these plans for all incomes. He then shares many of the schools that do this for certain income caps and then Mark and Anika talk about some of the state plans that offer this. (58:16) Mark interviews Greg Roberts, Dean of Admissions, at the University of Virginia in “Differences Between Public and Private Universities”. This is part 1 of a 4 part excellent interview. The first two parts focus a lot on the differences between public and private universities. Greg Roberts has also worked at Emory and Georgetown, so he draws off of the differences between private colleges and public colleges and universities. Greg is very transparent and genuine. He is willing to answer the tough questions. (69:31) Mark’s recommended resource of the week is the book, The Price of Privilege: and the subtitle of the Price of Privilege is, How Parental Pressure And Material Advantage Are Creating A Generation Of Disconnected And Unhappy Kids, by Dr. Madeline Levine   Don’t forget to send your questions related to any and every facet of the college process to   Every episode of Your College-Bound Kid will align with a chapter from the book 171 Answers to the Most-Asked College Admission Questions.

This was such a powerful revisit for me, four years later, as my kids settle into the teen years and all the challenges and celebrations they get to navigate. I would love to take away the pain and confusion that comes with this time – AND I know that my kids will have their deepest learning through experience… Such a great conversation! Jessica Lahey is smart and funny and real when it comes to talking straight up about how we rob our kids of their future when we protect the from failure...   It doesn't matter if they are in the sandbox or a high school classroom, our kids only learn the tools for relationship, empathy and resiliency when we (parents) allow them the gift of discomfort, making mistakes and yes, failure. Listen in to this candid conversation and consider where you could pull back a bit, where you could allow your kids a little bit more room to learn from their missteps, to own when they've hurt someone, to problem solve it when they've left their homework or lunch at home (again!)... We all love our kids, we want them to grow into the fullest, best versions of themselves, sometimes that requires us to back off and let them figure some things out...  You may be surprised by just how capable they are!

 SUMMARY Psychologist Madeline Levine, in her latest book, Teach Your Children Well: Why Values and Coping Skills Matter More Than Grades, Trophies, or “Fat Envelopes,” remains a staunch opponent of hyper-parenting. Sadly, while rates of mental illness escalate among kids and teens, parents continue to insert themselves into their children’s levels of performance. Levine, speaking on behalf of children debilitated by such behaviors, urges parents to stop. Just stop! Instead, backed by mounds of data and 30 years of clinical experience, Levine insists parents let kids explore and help them develop a genuine sense of purpose and well-being. Above all, parents need to express confidence and joy in their child’s unique abilities. KEY POINTS Parents who smooth the path to college send a vote of “no confidence” to their kids. Research shows that top-level universities only significantly benefit under-resourced students and first-generation immigrants. Consider reframing intelligence by asking in what way a child is smart. Pay attention to strengths rather than to relative weaknesses. Schools send strong messages about what’s important by what they show off in their entries. In hiring today, knowing content has gone to the bottom of the list. What matters now is working in a group, being creative, connecting the dots, being extremely curious, and evaluating content. Parents need to have the good sense to set boundaries, expectations, and demands. A dearth of collective community activities is creating a lonely landscape for parenting. Work ameliorates boredom while also giving a child a sense of worth. Set an expectation for contribution. QUOTES FROM LEVINE “We are spending way too much time worried about our children's performance and grades--their heads--and not nearly enough time paying attention to their hearts.” “The skill set is changing. It’s not just knowing the right answer; it’s also being able to ask the right question.” “The best thing you can do is cultivate your child’s particular talents.” “We learn more than we fail than when we succeed.” “The implicit value of attending a certain school is no longer a consideration as it once was historically.” “Having an involved father is a strong predictor of a child's eventual level of empathy. Optimally, this involvement should begin when children are starting elementary school.” “After 30 years of counseling, I believe most parents know in their gut when something is wrong with their kid.” “What will make you feel you did your [parenting] job right is having a kind, empathic, creative, interested, curious, open-minded kid. And the rest of it is kind of window dressing.” BUY Teach Your Children Well: Why Values and Coping Skills Matter More Than Grades, Trophies, or "Fat Envelopes" Click here to request your copy of the Challenge Success white paper.

If you are a regular listener of my podcast you will know that I am dead against parents doing things for their children that they are perfectly capable of doing for themselves. The negative effects of doing so are far reaching and disastrous for our children and we are seeing this play out in the young adults "we" have collectively, from over-parenting, "created". Tune in and take note so you don't rob your kids of the capacity to develop the life skills and competencies they need and you desperately want them to have.

What is your definition of success? And what is your definition of success in the context of your children? Madeline Levine, a well known Psychologist and NY times best selling author believes that the modern day definition of success is skewed and that the pressures of this skewed definition are wreaking havoc on the mental health of our children. She says that "parents have to face the incongruity between their experience and their attitude". Very few of us achieved "success" by going from A, to B, to C in a straight line yet our definition of success for our children demands that they have to. Tune in...

A simple holiday trip to Grandma’s house teaches us a lot about delegating and the balance between micromanaging and full autonomy in this episode. Why is that important for business?   There are two traps at either end of managing people and delegating responsibility that can both be problematic: 1. Not making space for the story of them to evolve and micromanaging them, or; 2. Giving them full autonomy, perhaps before they are ready or developed for that responsibility.   So how do navigate this fine line? Often, a great first place to look are at the stakes of the project. Look for low and medium stakes issues to delegate – areas that you can leave room for some autonomy, and even some failure, because they can be repaired or fixed if a problem occurs.  Like in parenting, if you want your team to be able to handle disappointment or frustration, you have to let them be disappointed or frustrated. If you want to delegate, you must first let people have low stakes failures and allow them to develop. You have to let employees have space to learn by doing, but it doesn’t have to be a binary choice between micromanagement and hands off.  The projects or tasks that you delegate should also help them appreciate the impact of mistakes and have an insight into the larger pictures. Mindless busy work can be delegated, but it doesn’t help them develop a sense of responsibility that tasks that are clearly tied to the next step will.  Besides the stakes, you want to consider the impact of the project you want to delegate – who will a failure impact? If it’s important customers, that is something you want to observe more carefully.  At some point, you also have to consider that well-delegated tasks are a good litmus test for assessing someone’s strengths and suitability. It is important as a manager to recognize what is important to the staff member, and recognize the skill sets they have and where they work well. They might not be suited for the tasks you want to delegate.  The best way to move into delegation is to make sure people can change the sentiment of “you’re right” to the sentiment of “that’s right”. Pay attention to what part of delegation you get stuck on, and what part they can help you with from the other side. Notice what role the story you have of that person plays into your delegation experience.  And lastly, if you delegate a lot, and it always fails, maybe the problem is you.    Resource mentioned The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, Wendy Mogel, PhD https://www.wendymogel.com/books/item/the_blessing_of_a_skinned_knee The Price of Privilege, Madeline Levine, PhD https://madelinelevine.com/the-price-of-privilege/   What story do you want to tell?

The ancient disciplines of silence, solitude, and fasting have been, and remain today, a constant in many faith practices and belief systems spanning continents and cultures. Why is that, and what can be gained by the practice of intentional self-denial? We’ve all heard how important it is to learn to say “no” to the ever-growing list of distractions and external demands on our time and energy to stay productive; and we have all been on one kind of diet or another. In this episode, however, we will look at how the importance of learning to say “no” to yourself might actually go far beyond productivity and nutrition. We do this by talking to an “expert” on the subject: Justin Marler, a former monk who ditched a lucrative record contract as a punk rock musician to instead dedicate the next 7-years of his life to the daily practices of extreme self-denial in two Eastern Orthodox monasteries (one of which was on a remote, sparsely populated Alaskan island). That’s just the beginning of a remarkable story that continues to play itself out today in how Justin and his wife Nova view their family’s personal and professional priorities, and continue to selflessly pour into others. Whether for spiritual, philosophical, or practical purposes, the process of self-denial remains a time-honored and universally recognized way of connecting with something deeper within. We see this in the context of the Stoic’s intentional practice of poverty (as endorsed by the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca and his Greek counterpart Epicurus), with modern day minimalists who, often without any faith-driven intentions simply choose to do without, and of course with spiritually motivated asceticism adopted by monks in the dedication of their lives to faith (whether Buddhism, Jainism, Vaishnava, or Christianity). Although this podcast will not always discuss religion and faith, we certainly don’t avoid it. I’m personally a follower of Christ, and so is today’s guest. That said, I am always seeking to gain perspective by learning about people and practices from diverse backgrounds, and I would encourage my listeners to do the same. There’s a lot to be gained from Justin’s story for anyone who wants to choose to live more humanely in our modern tech-infused society. In this episode, we discuss: What it’s actually like to live as a monk in a monastery The spiritual connection of the mind, heart, and will The distinctions between Eastern and Western views on suffering The similarities between the teachings of Christianity and the rebellion of punk culture Contrasts between the early Christian church and that of today Prayer as a “state,” and how that relates to the practice of meditation Why monasteries are sometimes referred to as hospitals The benefits of being surrounding by nature The necessity of “rejection” for a purpose (rather than despair) How spiritual disciplines can help us become more self-aware The purpose and benefits of fasting as a practical method of self-denial   Links and More Information on this Topic: The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in its Proper Place, by Andy Crouch, the book that brought Justin and I together during an impromptu conversation about the need for solitude, especially when surrounded by our tech-infused modern lifestyle. Justin’s Hymns for the Apocalypse music project, along with fellow musicians Jim Watson and Tony D’amato, launched with the mission of raising awareness and funds for the millions of people of all faiths and backgrounds worldwide who are suffering in extreme circumstances due to war and persecution.  100% of proceeds go directly to those in need. Justin’s own site dedicated to, as he puts it: “the practice of warring with ones deficiencies, faults, sins and passions in order to restore ones life and relationship with God” by looking at the virtue and prayer of “early Christian monks, mystics, theologians and saints as preserved by the Eastern Orthodox Church for over 2,000 years.” This is a well-designed and easily navigated site which has a wealth of information and resources on the subjects discussed. The monastery in Alaska where Justin spent some of his time in solitude. The (now online) Death to the World - The Last True Rebellion ‘zine originally started by Marler in his early days as a monk, as the website explains: “a ‘zine to inspire the truth-seeking and soul searching amidst the modern age of nihilism and despair, promoting the ancient principles of the last true rebellion: to be dead to this world and alive to the other world.” Very interesting articles, as well as a shout-out to its co-founder and the publication’s now 21-year history on the about/history page. I once again made mention of Dr. Madeline Levine’s eye-opening book, The Price of Privilege: How Parental Pressure and Material Advantage are Creating a Generation of Disconnected and Unhappy Kids. Dr. Levine is a well-known clinical psychologist who writes about the epidemic of emotional dysfunction of modern American youth contributed to by the intrusive parenting practices that inhibit healthy self-development. I mention her work in other episodes as well (I hope I get to interview Dr. Levine at some point in the near future!). Other bands and acts mentioned during the show were Sleep, The Sabians, and Om (with Marler’s former Sleep bandmate Al Cisneros). As the current projects Justin spoke about get released, we’ll be sure to update the show notes here with additional links. I hope you enjoyed the show!

Learning is about asking the right questions….and it’s also about knowing there is not always one right answer. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss learning and living a life of meaning with Jamie Matthews, a Master Teacher at the Acton School of Business in Austin, Texas. In addition to having found his calling as a world-class teacher, Jamie is a successful entrepreneur, experienced investor, and purposeful philanthropist. More importantly, he is one of those rare people whose positive energy and gratitude for living is irresistibly contagious, even on his “bad” days. We touched on a variety of related topics, including: The importance of mentoring and teaching others (hint: it doesn’t only benefit the student) The difference between lessons that are felt, versus those that remain on the surface Gaining comfort with ambiguity How to live with less regrets Why being a high achiever can make it more challenging to take risks How to formulate the right questions Finding and living your purpose, as opposed to following the “planned life” of others Practical tips for living in a way that matters Staying on the path The necessity of gratitude and acceptance Learning about the world, and ourselves, can be a lot of fun…but sometimes, it’s not. Join us as we discuss how to formulate the right questions, why it’s essential to push past comfort zones in the process of lifelong learning, and how to find purpose in our own unique journeys as students of ourselves. I hope you enjoy this show as we look into the purpose in the process of lifelong learning!   Links and More Information on this Topic: Jamie’s bio.

Listen in as Jimmy and Josh discuss Dr. Madeline Levine’s new book, The Price of Privilege: How Parental Pressure and Material Advantage are Creating a Generation of Disconnected and Unhappy Kids.  You would think that it would be great for a kid to grow up in a home where all his needs are met, parents are focused and involved, and he’s provided with the best educational experience out there…but apparently, you’d be wrong.  We’re learning that the more a child is given in life, the more toxic that life can become.

By trying to provide the perfectly happy childhood, a generation of parents may be making it harder for their kids to actually grow up. Hear from psychologists Polly Young-Eisendrath and Madeline Levine, as well as psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb on how our preoccupation with choice, self-esteem, and happiness may be yielding a generation marked by entitlement, materialism, narcissism, and an inability to face the challenges of adult life. The conversation is led by award-winning journalist Katie Couric. Show Notes Watch What is the Goal of Parenting? from the Aspen Ideas Festival.

Dr. Reedy reviews and teaches from the book, "The Price of Privilege" by Madeline Levine. Dr. Levine invites parents to make a shift from emphasizing performance to supporting the development of the "self" in children. The culture of affluence and its impact on parenting are discussed. Dr. Levine writes, “We have to be acutely attuned to our own psychological issues and our own happiness, or lack of it. We have to be willing to take an unflinching look at our parenting skills.”

What the hell is going on? Since 1965, labor-force rates for women with kids under 18 have risen from 45 percent to 78 percent, and today’s mothers—both working and stay-at-home at tlike—spend more than 14 hours a week in 2010, up from just 10 hours a week in 1965. Despite spending all this time with our monkeys, 51 percent of working moms say they feel guilty about not spending enough time with their kids!      All this working-mom guilt keeps us back professionally, leading to dropping out of the work force, failing to go for promotions and higher-paying work so we can spend even more hours on children. Children, it must be noted, do not need all the hours we're currently devoting to them.  Psychologist Dr. Madeline Levine recently claimed that children of over-involved parents are three times more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, and David Code, wrote in his book To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First.   Families centred on children create anxious, exhausted parents and demanding, entitled children. We parents today are too quick to sacrifice our lives and our marriages for our kids. Most of us have created child-centred families, where our children hold priority over our time, energy and attention. But as we break our backs for our kids, our marriage and self-fulfilment go out the window while our kids become more demanding and dissatisfied. That's why children seem to have many more problems nowadays than we did, or our parents did. By killing ourselves to provide a perfect, trauma-free childhood for our children, we're wasting our energy. The greatest gift you can give your children is to have a fulfilling marriage yourself. In this episode I elaborate more on why both parents and kids need to less time together. After all, what did we learn from all the complaints about milenials, who were the first generation to be subject to so much helicoptering, and are seen as a generation unable to function in adulthood? Caller Denise asks whether it is a good idea to bribe with money her 11-year old to maintain basic personal hygeine. I surprised myself with the answer!         

Today success is often judged by what can be measured: , grades,. money, acceptance into prestigious schools and careers and the like. Too often teens pursue the path of recognized success while ignoring their internal passions only to find themselves disillusioned and unhappy.

Madeline Levine, Ph.D. is a psychologist, co-founder of Challenge Success at the Stanford School of Education, and the author of the new book TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL: Parenting for Authentic Success.

By trying to provide the perfectly happy childhood, a generation of parents may be making it harder for their kids to actually grow up. Learn how our preoccupation with choice, self-esteem, and happiness may be yielding a generation marked by entitlement, materialism, narcissism, and an inability to face the challenges of adult life.

Advice to parents of adolescents from psychologist Madeline Levine, author of The Price of Privilege, and teen mentor Jeffrey Leiken included “take control of your kids’ lives” and “don’t ignore the signs of depression.” In this episode of JEWISH THOUGHT LEADERS, we hear startling statistics about the amount of one-on-one time the average teen spends with his or her parents, the amount of time spent at the computer or texting with friends, and how pervasive depression is among young people.
