Podcasts about Parent

Caring for a parent with dementia is one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. What happens when that aging parent is also a difficult person? This adds a heavy layer to an already complex situation. Furthermore, how do you handle a difficult personality when their memory is failing? The physical and emotional toll can be immense. In addition, caregivers often feel isolated and alone. They struggle with their own grief and exhaustion. Meanwhile, they are asked to provide constant care for a particularly difficult loved one. We explore this unique caregiving challenge. This episode dives into one caregiver's raw and honest story. He found a path forward. Ultimately, his journey shows that finding peace is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances. Our Guest: Josh Hickman Josh Hickman is a writer and visual artist who grew up in various parts of Texas. His education included studying painting and sculpture at the Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts and writing and film at the University of Texas at Austin. The author of seven books and numerous articles, short stories, and poems, he lives and works with his dog Sammy in Dallas, Texas.

COMMENTAIRE DE L'EVANGILE DU JOUR Luc 2, 22-35Quand fut accompli le temps prescrit par la loi de Moïse pour la purification, les parents de Jésus l'amenèrent à Jérusalem pour le présenter au Seigneur, selon ce qui est écrit dans la Loi : Tout premier-né de sexe masculin sera consacré au Seigneur. Ils venaient aussi offrir le sacrifice prescrit par la loi du Seigneur : un couple de tourterelles ou deux petites colombes. Or, il y avait à Jérusalem un homme appelé Syméon. C'était un homme juste et religieux, qui attendait la Consolation d'Israël, et l'Esprit Saint était sur lui. Il avait reçu de l'Esprit Saint l'annonce qu'il ne verrait pas la mort avant d'avoir vu le Christ, le Messie du Seigneur. Sous l'action de l'Esprit, Syméon vint au Temple. Au moment où les parents présentaient l'enfant Jésus pour se conformer au rite de la Loi qui le concernait, Syméon reçut l'enfant dans ses bras, et il bénit Dieu en disant : « Maintenant, ô Maître souverain, tu peux laisser ton serviteur s'en aller en paix, selon ta parole. Car mes yeux ont vu le salut que tu préparais à la face des peuples : lumière qui se révèle aux nations et donne gloire à ton peuple Israël. » Le père et la mère de l'enfant s'étonnaient de ce qui était dit de lui. Syméon les bénit, puis il dit à Marie sa mère : « Voici que cet enfant provoquera la chute et le relèvement de beaucoup en Israël. Il sera un signe de contradiction – et toi, ton âme sera traversée d'un glaive – : ainsi seront dévoilées les pensées qui viennent du cœur d'un grand nombre. »

Send us a textWhat if the most powerful lever for your child's growth isn't another appointment, but how you care for yourself? We sit down with neuropsychologist Dr. Dawn Ilardi to connect the dots between CHD, early brain development, medical trauma, and the everyday choices that help families thrive. From prenatal influences on cognition and behavior to the protective force of stable routines and responsive parenting, we translate research into practical moves you can make this week.We explore why CHD outcomes are shaped long before surgery and how heterogeneity makes each child unique, yet still able to benefit from adapted tools used in the general population. Dr. Ilardi explains how family factors—predictable structure, warm communication, and realistic challenges—can buffer stress and build resilience. We also address the quiet weight of medical trauma for parents and teens, outlining small, affordable supports like gratitude journaling, micro‑breaks, and CHD‑savvy counseling, alongside the healing power of honest community.You'll also hear about a new resource: Parenting Kids with CHD, an on‑demand library of short videos and monthly live Q&A designed to bridge the gap between science and everyday life. Topics range from ADHD meds and evaluation paths to tackling anxiety, early language delays, and transition to adult care. As Anna announces a writing hiatus, we highlight where to find archives and why the broader HUG network continues to amplify CHD stories and support.Subscribe for more conversations that blend empathy and evidence.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Amy Griffin for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to re-parent yourself—and how that inner work quietly transforms your parenting. We talk about the pressure to be perfect, the role of control and trust in family relationships, and how healing your own story can create more safety for your kids. Amy shares how telling the truth, setting boundaries, and staying in the light reshaped the way she shows up as a mother, partner, and person—and why parenting isn't about having the answers, but about doing the work with honesty and compassion.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

How can you manifest your dreams in 2026 while reducing stress and anxiety? This episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering offers a grounded self help approach to manifestation that focuses on mindfulness, intuition, gratitude, and emotional resilience. Listeners explore how fear, uncertainty, and the need for control can increase suffering and block clarity. The episode explains how pausing, listening to inner guidance, and staying present can support better decision making and personal growth. A simple "maybe" practice is shared to help quiet self doubt, reduce anxiety, and restore hope during times of uncertainty. This episode is ideal for anyone seeking stress relief, mindfulness, emotional balance, and a healthier way to hold goals related to relationships, career, money, and overall well being in 2026. Guided Affirmation for 2026 I take a gentle breath. I allow my body to settle. There is nothing I need to fix right now. I bring to mind something I hope for in 2026. I do not need to force it. I simply acknowledge that it matters to me. I trust myself. I trust life. I release the need for certainty. I release the pressure to have all the answers. I listen to the wisdom of this moment. I allow clarity to come when it is ready. I do not need to push. I do not need to resist. I am open to guidance. I am open to possibility. I remember what is already working in my life. I remember my resources and support. I hold my dreams with openness and gratitude. I allow them to unfold in their own time. Maybe more is possible than I can imagine. Maybe things are already moving in my favor. Maybe everything will be okay. I take another gentle breath. I let these words settle. I move into this year with trust, presence, and hope. What I seek is seeking me. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

EP:172 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I sit down with my dear friend Zabie Yamasaki – trauma-informed yoga educator, author, survivor advocate, and founder of Transcending Trauma Through Yoga. Zabie and I dive deep into what it really means to heal your nervous system, reclaim your body after trauma, and honor your capacity as a human, a parent, and a highly sensitive soul. Zabie shares her powerful story as a survivor of sexual trauma, her journey through grief, IVF, pregnancy loss, and her husband's cancer diagnosis, and how trauma-informed yoga became both her personal lifeline and her professional calling. We talk about: The difference between traditional vinyasa yoga and trauma-informed yoga (and why language and choice matter so much) How trauma lives in the body through anxiety, insomnia, GI issues, and chronic burnout Why movement can be a core regulator and healer—and how to choose the right kind of movement for your nervous system on any given day Letting go of hustle and urgency and learning to live “real slow” instead of “real quick” Honoring your capacity, boundaries, and energy without shame Redefining success as softer mornings, presence with your kids, and a regulated nervous system If you've ever thought, “I've been in survival mode for years and didn't even realize it” or “I don't know how to listen to my body, I just keep pushing,” this episode will feel like a big exhale and a loving permission slip.

You'll hear the story of Bernie becoming the Hall of Fame goaltender and treasure off the ice. We include interviews from his Broad Street Bully teammates who "walk together forever", as well as clips from Bernie himself and some of his career highlights.

This edition of Parent Perspectives features Gina Baker, the mother of two kids in Utah. She has had many professional roles in the past including nursing and case management and her current focus is on raising awareness around supporting her Autistic child when he didn't fit in any box and when professional services did not help. Her son is 15 and has high support needs, otherwise referred to as “profound autism” by many, and we'll talk about that. She now does photography and has created a program for parents that focuses on parent self-regulation so that other parents don't have to go through what she went through: extreme exhaustion, loneliness, depression, suicidality, frustration, and anger. In developing her resilience by taking care of herself, she was better equipped to care for her son and his needs.Link to the show notes with links to key discussion points and other ways to view or hear the episode here: ⁠https://affectautism.com/2025/12/26/resilience/Consider joining our DIR® Parent Network or becoming an Affect Autism member for bonus content and support from a like-minded community of Floortimers here: ⁠⁠https://affectautism.com/support/

"Happiness radiates out of people… your change is the most potent contribution you can make to global change."  Hard times have a way of exposing what actually holds us together. When prices rise, headlines darken, and uncertainty becomes constant, willpower and positive thinking stop working. What matters then is whether you have an inner foundation that stays steady regardless of external pressure. This episode points to a different kind of strength—one that doesn't numb you to reality, but keeps you calm, clear, and grounded while everything else feels unstable.  The conversation explores how inner states like peace, resilience, and clarity are not personality traits or spiritual gifts—they're trainable. There is a neurological threshold where fleeting moments of calm begin to lock in, where stress stops running the system, and where reactions soften into perspective. What's most compelling is how quickly this shift can begin, and how it changes the way people relate to money, conflict, fear, and even ambition during difficult seasons.  Dr. Dawson is a researcher, author, and speaker known for bridging neuroscience with spiritual practice. He has written multiple bestselling books and founded an organization that has helped tens of thousands of veterans recover from PTSD. His work focuses on turning elevated inner states into something stable, practical, and usable—especially when life feels anything but easy.  Learn more & connect:  spiritualintelligencebook.com  EFTUniverse.com https://dawsonchurch.com/  Other books:    The Genie in Your Genes – Dr. Dawson Church  Mind to Matter – Dr. Dawson Church  Bliss Brain – Dr. Dawson Church  Happy for No Reason – Marci Shimoff  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

In this two-part episode, Coach Aaron and Coach EJ explore the critical parent-coach-athlete dynamic in youth sports. They first analyze how parental actions and attitudes can either foster independence or create dependency, hindering an athlete's growth. The discussion then pivots to the coach's role, offering parents practical advice on vetting coaching styles and monitoring the relationship to ensure it's a positive and productive one. The core message is that a successful athletic experience relies on a triangular balance of trust, open communication, and allowing the athlete space to develop their own sense of accountability.

Today is Christmas day, and I want to take a minute to tell you about the greatest gift that I ever received from my parents. Yes, over the years I received many Christmas gifts from my folks. But as the glory, shine, and initial excitement over so many of those gifts has faded over the years, there is that one gift that actually has increased in value for me. I remember my dad regularly telling me that his most fervent prayer for me was that I would grow up to love and serve Jesus Christ, and then marry someone who did the same. God graciously answered that prayer. Because of that, I am able to tell you today that the greatest gift passed on to me by my parents was the gift of their faith in Jesus Christ. Through their words and example I was regularly told about the coming of the Messiah. As you celebrate the coming of our redeemer, Jesus Christ, into the world on this Christmas Day, remember to pray for your kids, that they would hear and answer his invitation to come and follow.

Understanding God's love for YOU can radically alter your parenting. Crystal Paine will share her story of transformation from fear to love-centered parenting. And she'll describe the four most important choices you can make as a parent.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I explain how a child's brain works differently from an adult's brain in therapy — and why that difference matters so much. Many parents assume therapy is therapy, but children don't process experiences through logic, language, or abstract thinking the way adults do. I compare adult brains to waffles and children's brains to cooked spaghetti to show how adults can compartmentalize issues, while children experience everything as connected and happening all at once. I walk through why verbal prompts and talk-based therapy work for adults but fail for young children, and how child-centered play therapy matches the way kids actually process experiences. When a child works on one issue in play, it naturally pulls other issues along with it — building momentum and growth across multiple areas at the same time. This episode helps parents understand why CCPT works with children and why play, not talking, is the most effective way for kids to heal and grow.

Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do for our daughters is…step back. In this "Best of Raising Godly Girls" episode, we revisit Episode 269: "Why Parents Shouldn't Make Life Easy for Their Daughters," originally aired on September 16, 2025. Natalie Ambrose and Rachael Culpepper explore the pitfalls of "helicopter" or "lawnmower" parenting and offer a faith-filled perspective on building resilience in girls.  This episode is for parents who want to love well—but struggle with the temptation to smooth every difficulty or shield their daughters from failure. Together, we discuss how stepping back, allowing natural consequences, and letting girls navigate challenges under God's guidance equips them with confidence, problem-solving skills, and a steadfast faith that will serve them for a lifetime.  Listeners will be reminded that resilience isn't just a personality trait—it's a spiritual posture. By trusting God to guide our daughters through life's skinned knees, disappointments, and learning moments, we cultivate strength, humility, and perseverance. It's an invitation to parent with intentionality, grace, and courage, trusting the Holy Spirit to shape our girls into women of integrity.  Scripture References:  James 1:2-4  Proverbs 22:6  Three Things to Remember:  Let girls experience challenges—they need space to grow and learn.  Parent with grace, not control, trusting God's wisdom and timing.  Celebrate resilience as a gift from God, cultivated over time through life's ups and downs.  This "Best Of" episode is an encouragement to pause, reflect, and lean into God's guidance as you nurture your daughter's character, perseverance, and Godly womanhood.  Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.   Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.  

Hi Parents! Today I sit down with Krista St-Germain to explore the tender, complex reality of supporting a teen through the loss of a parent while also navigating your own grief. Krista is a Master Certified Life Coach, widow, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast, and her work has helped thousands of women rebuild their lives with compassion, self-trust, and hope after profound loss. Krista and I dig into where the familiar “five stages of grief” came from and why they were never intended to describe how real people move through loss. We talk about what grief often looks like behind closed doors, how widowhood can reshape your identity, and why learning to trust your emotional process is such an essential part of healing. We also talk about how teens grieve differently, how to recognize grief beneath certain behaviours, and how to support them without trying to fix the pain. Krista shares guidance on navigating birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays in ways that honour the parent who died while giving everyone space to feel what they feel. More about Krista: Krista is a grief and post-traumatic growth expert who rebuilt her life after losing her husband to a drunk driver in 2016. Through therapy, mindset work, and coaching tools, she found a path forward, and now helps widows do the same. Her work has been featured in Psychology Today, Medium, Parents Magazine, and more. If you're supporting a grieving teen or grieving yourself, I hope this conversation brings you comfort, clarity, and permission to move at the pace that feels right for you. It's a conversation I know will support so many.

Holiday break can bring joy… and a whole lot of overwhelm. In this Holiday Special Replay of Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline shares what holiday dysregulation looks like in real life (including her own family's “never leave the house on Christmas Day” boundary), why kids melt down when routines shift, and how adults can turn everyday holiday stress into practice for emotion regulation and resilience. You'll hear concrete ways to keep just enough structure, reduce sensory overload, handle screen-time battles without power struggles, and teach kids to “catch it early” before emotions take over—using body awareness, code words, coping cards, and simple family rituals that build flexibility and calm.Homework Ideas Pick 2 “anchor routines” and protect them all breakTry:Same wake-up time most days (even if bedtime shifts)One bedtime ritual piece (hug + story, even if it's late)One daily quiet-alone-time block (10–30 minutes) Create a “Holiday Overwhelm Plan” with your kid (10 minutes) Write together:My early warning signs: (snappy, clingy, quiet, stomach aches, tears, silliness that won't stop)My resets: (bathroom break, headphones, snack, walk, quiet room, doodle)My help request words: “I need a break.” / “Can we do puppy?”Parent response script: “I see it. We can take five.” Choose a code word for public situationsDo: Pick something neutral (“puppy”) and practice it once at home. Use it when: you notice irritability, withdrawal, or escalating volume.Goal: exit early, reset, return.Practice “drop into the body” once a dayDo (kids + teens):“Where do you feel it right now?” (chest, throat, belly, head)Or start silly/easy: “What does your right elbow feel like?”Why it helps: builds noticing skills before emotions hijack behavior.Resource: Emotion wheel or feelings chart (print one and keep it visible). Check out the emotional literacy toolkit to help! Screen boundaries that don't become a daily warTry one simple rule:Tech-free zones (bedrooms, meal table) orTech-free time (first hour after waking, last hour before bed) orTech-free day blocks (two afternoons a week)When pushback hits: mirror the feeling. “Ugh. You really wanted Minecraft today.” (Stop there. No lecture.) One “resilience tradition” for the weekPick ONE:Gratitude jar (read on New Year's Eve)Resilience ornament/tree (write a “hard thing I handled” on paper)Family story night: “A time I messed up and what I learned.”Resources Mentioned:The Emotional Literacy Book (https://korulearninginstitute.kit.com/emotionaliteracy)FREE Holiday Guide with essential tips to support emotion regulation over the holidays (https://korulearninginstitute.kit.com/2025holidayguide)Enjoying the show?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Say hello to Tilo at coach.tiloWhat if your most valuable product isn't another hour-long session, but a community that people can't wait to join? Today we sit down with a former PE teacher who turned a neighbor's question into a thriving training business, then pushed beyond the ceiling of in-person hours to build scalable income without sacrificing family time. From the first $90 session to confidently charging premium rates in an affluent market, we get into the real math: exact client counts, monthly revenue targets, and the systems that make sessions repeatable, effective, and worth every dollar.We dig into pricing strategy the way clients actually experience it—clear value, annual increases, retainers that stabilize cash flow, and the honest post-mortem when someone says no. We challenge the myth of overnight online riches and offer a grounded path: LinkedIn for lead gen, Trainerize for delivery, and coaching that sells outcomes, not app access. The heart of the episode is the Parlay Club, a clever blend of step goals, workouts, and point-doubling sports picks that turns accountability into a game. It's sticky, social, and scalable—especially once it moves to a searchable Facebook group, adds tiers, rewards referrals, and features guest experts to deepen engagement.Parent-trainers will feel seen. We talk about seasons of ambition, designing a perfect week before you sell it, and using the 11–2 midday window to build leverage instead of filling it with low-yield sessions. For coaches working with youth athletes, we map a route to clinics, partnerships, and grant-funded programs, and explain how a credential like the CSCS opens doors with athletic directors. The throughline is focus: avoid the octopus problem of too many projects and choose one lane to push hard for a defined period, supported by precise KPIs and a community that keeps you honest.If you're ready to raise your rates, protect your time, and build something that grows while you're with your kids, this conversation hands you a playbook you can start using today.

In today's episode, I'm building on last week's powerful conversation with Dr. Shireen Lim and diving even deeper into something I'm incredibly passionate about: what every parent should know before their child turns three. This is the information I wish I had known earlier—and honestly, it still blows my mind that we aren't taught this anywhere. We're talking about why the “wait and see” approach can be so damaging, how your child's mouth, airway, brain, and body are developing long before kindergarten, and the subtle red flags most parents are told are “normal.” If you're pregnant, a new mom, or raising a busy toddler, this episode will completely change the way you look at your child's breathing, sleep, feeding, and behavior—without fear, guilt, or overwhelm. Check out The Mind Mouth Body SHIFT Method -- https://shereewertz.com/academy Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

The holidays are supposed to feel joyful and magical, but for many parents they feel heavy, overwhelming, and emotionally exhausting. Between expectations, family dynamics, financial pressure, and the invisible work it takes to make everything happen, it is no wonder this season can put such a strain on your marriage.In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest ways the holidays impact parents and couples, and sharing four practical shifts that can help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported during this busy time. This is not about forcing holiday cheer or pushing through for the kids. It is about creating a season that actually works for you and your relationship.Tune in to discover:• Why the holidays increase stress and disconnection for so many parents• How unrealistic expectations quietly fuel resentment and burnout• Why identifying your priorities changes everything this time of year• How to stay connected as a team even when emotions are high• What it really means to prioritize your marriage during the holidaysSign up for The 3 Secrets to a Happier Marriage (Free LIVE training Jan 22nd): https://marriedafterkids.com/3-secrets?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=Links&utm_campaign=3%20Secrets%20-%20Jan26Connect with me for a FREE Married After Kids Intervention Call: https://marriedafterkids.satoriapp.com/offers/277730-married-after-kids-intervention-callFollow me on Instagram so you don't miss a thing! www.instagram.com/marriedafterkids

In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester explore one of the most common and misunderstood dynamics in modern parenting: the roles of the default parent and the non-default parent. They unpack why these roles form, what each partner often experiences, and how these patterns can create pressure, resentment, or feelings of invisibility. With compassion for both parents, Kyle and Sara explain how routines are built through trial and error, why they deserve respect, and how well-meaning attempts to help can sometimes cause tension. They offer practical steps to improve communication, clarify responsibilities, honor each parent's strengths, and build a more balanced partnership. This conversation gives parents the tools to navigate differences, value each other's contributions, and create a healthy, flexible family system where both parents feel capable, respected, and connected. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/the-default-parent-dynamic-how-to-share-the-load-feel-valued-and-parent-as-a-team Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com Video Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans Podcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.com Book List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist  The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

In this week's episode I am joined by Dr. Darby Saxby, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Southern California as we delve into the transition to parenthood, particularly focusing on fathers and the concept of the 'dad brain.' We discuss how fathers experience physiological and psychological changes despite not giving birth, the vulnerability and opportunities for growth these changes bring, and how societal structures often fail to support new parents adequately. Dr. Saxby shares insights from her research, including how caregiving impacts brain structure in both mothers and fathers and the importance of fathers being involved at various stages of a child's development.

Welcome back to the Dollar Wise Podcast. In this episode, Andrew Barnhardt and Brett Herron explore various strategies for saving for children's futures — whether it's for education, retirement, or general financial support. They break down the pros and cons of different account types, including 529 plans, custodial Roth IRAs, UTMAs/UGMAs, and saving in a parent's name. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of how to align financial tools with their goals and ensure they're setting up the next generation for success — without putting their own financial health at risk.Tune into this episode to also learn:● The tax benefits and flexibility of 529 college savings plans.● How custodial Roth IRAs can jumpstart retirement savings for teens with earned income.● Why UTMAs and UGMAs offer flexibility — but come with tax and control trade-offs.● When it may be better to save in your own name instead of your child's.What we discussed● [00:00:00] Introduction● [00:00:31] Why saving for kids must come after securing your own financial foundation.● [00:02:35] Pros, cons, and new rules around 529 college savings plans.● [00:06:55] How custodial Roth IRAs work — and why earned income is required.● [00:11:04] The flexibility and limitations of UTMAs/UGMAs for broader financial goals.● [00:14:59] Saving in your own name: flexibility, control, and important tax considerations.● [00:20:07] Why segmenting investment “sleeves” can help avoid misusing funds.● [00:22:07] A quick mention of upcoming TRUMP accounts and what to expect.3 Things To RememberSaving for your children is important, but make sure your own financial house is in order first.Each account — 529, custodial Roth, UTMA/UGMA, or personal savings — has unique pros and cons.Teaching your child about money can be just as valuable as saving money for them.Useful LinksConnect with Andrew Barnhardt: abarnhardt@hfmadvisors.com | LinkedInConnect with Brett Herron: bherron@hfmadvisors.com | LinkedInLike what you've heard…Learn more about HFM HERESchedule time to speak with us HERE102 WEST HIGH STREET, SUITE 200GLASSBORO, NJ 08028HFM Investment Advisors, LLC is a registered investment adviser.

If you're trying to support your child with ADHD naturally and feel overwhelmed by where to start, this episode is for you. ADHD health practitioner Dana Kay shares the three podcast episodes every parent should listen to first. She explains exactly where she would send you if you were sitting together over coffee asking one simple question: "Where do I even start?" Dana breaks down why understanding what's really driving ADHD is the foundation, why traditional ADHD treatments don't always lead to lasting change, and why hearing another parent's real journey can shift everything. These three episodes help parents stop chasing every new solution, start seeing patterns instead of isolated problems, and finally feel grounded in what actually helps their child thrive. If you're new to The Soaring Child Podcast or feeling stuck, confused, or exhausted, this episode gives you clarity, direction, and a starting point that actually makes sense. Dana also shares a glimpse of what's coming in the new year and why it may change how you see your child and their ADHD journey.  Links Mentioned in the Show 3 of the Best Soaring Child Podcast Episodes:  ▶ https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-166/ ▶  https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-111/ ▶  https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-178/ Key Takeaways [00:49] Why more information doesn't always bring clarity [01:06] The power of focusing on the "right three" resources [02:07] Why this episode avoids hacks and protocols [02:26] What's happening beneath ADHD behaviors [02:58] Why this episode is the foundation for everything else [03:02] How understanding root causes brings steadiness [06:27] Seeing patterns instead of isolated problems [06:48] Why this perspective changes where parents put their energy Memorable Moments "More information does not equal more clarity."
