What if secure attachment isn't about doing everything perfectly? In this episode, HeHe sits down with licensed therapist and attachment expert Eli Harwood, aka Attachment Nerd, to break down what secure attachment actually looks like, how co-regulation and attunement shape our relationships with our kids, and why being “regulated enough” matters way more than being a perfect parent. HeHe and Eli unpack the difference between attachment and simply being connected, why responsiveness matters more than following a specific parenting philosophy, and what happens when our own mental health, stress, or childhood experiences make it harder to tune into our kids. They talk about the still face experiment, the reality that even securely attached parent-child pairs are only perfectly in sync some of the time, and why repairing after you mess up is one of the most powerful things you can do. And if you're trying to break generational patterns, this conversation goes DEEP. Eli shares how grieving what you didn't receive in childhood can actually help you parent differently, plus practical ways to apologize, reconnect, and create safety after a rupture. They also get into daycare, temperament, neurodivergence, clingy kids, proximity-seeking, self-soothing vs. shutting down, gentle parenting vs. permissive parenting, and the long-term impact of secure attachment. And yes, they talk about spanking, why it can disrupt trust, and what repair can look like when you've already made a parenting choice you regret. Basically, this episode is your reminder that secure attachment isn't about never getting it wrong. It's about creating a relationship where your child knows you're there, keeps coming back to you, and learns that even when things go sideways, connection can be repaired.

Denmark shows up near the top of the Happiness Index year after year, yet it is not topping every academic ranking or outspending everyone else. So what is going on? We talk with author, speaker, and cultural researcher Jessica Joelle Alexander about the Danish Way of Parenting and why Danish children are so often described as secure, resilient, and genuinely happy.We dig into the simplest but most overlooked driver of well being: meaningful relationships. From hygge and “weefulness” to collaboration over comparison, Jessica explains how Danish culture builds connection on purpose and how that changes the way kids handle stress, emotions, and belonging. We also unpack why Denmark treats play as essential learning, why respect based parenting matters, and how empathy becomes something kids live rather than something they memorize.Then we get practical. Jessica walks us through her PARENT framework (Play, Authenticity, Reframing, Empathy, No Ultimatums, Togetherness) and we wrestle with a uniquely American trap: turning even the healthiest parenting ideas into another achievement badge. Finally, we shift to modern parenting pressure around screens and phones, including Jessica's digital citizenship conversation cards that help families set values around consent, bullying, critical thinking, communication, and online well being in a calm, in person way.Get Jessica's Book HEREVisit her website HERESubscribe for more conversations on conscious parenting, child development, emotional safety, and family culture, and if this helped you, share it with a parent who needs it and leave a review.

Episode 460 | High Tech, High Touch Podcast Description AI is everywhere right now. It's faster, smarter, and showing up in more places than most of us expected. In Episode 460 of School Owner Talk, Duane and Allie dig into the real tension school owners are feeling: yes, tech can make your school more efficient — but it can't replace the core of what makes a martial arts school work. That core is the relationship triangle: instructor → student → parent. This episode is all about using “high tech” the right way (for transactions, reminders, organization, and admin)… while doubling down on “high touch” (real connection, real coaching, real partnership) so your school doesn't become just another activity families rotate through. Key Takeaways 1) AI can improve efficiency, but it can't replace the relationship triangle Duane frames it clearly: tech can help your school run smoother, but it will never replace the most important triangle in your school — the instructor, student, and parent relationship. In a world where people assume everything is automated, genuine human connection is becoming more valuable, not less. 2) People are starting to assume everything is “an automation” Allie shares something school owners are running into more and more: even when you send a real message, people assume it's a robot. That creates a weird new challenge — you're not just trying to communicate well, you're trying to prove you're human. 3) Connection matters more now than ever — because society is more “throwaway” Allie brings up a tough truth: 15–20 years ago, instructors often carried more cultural reverence. Now, many families treat martial arts like one option in a long list of activities. And when you're “only as good as your last mistake,” the relationship has to be stronger to survive normal misunderstandings. 4) Don't automate away the relationship Duane says it straight: technology isn't the enemy — but don't automate away the relationship. Use tech to handle transactions. Let people handle relationships. 5) “Breaking the third wall” is how you invite parents into the experience Duane uses a powerful analogy: The karate floor is the stage The students are the actors The instructor is the director The parent is the audience If the audience doesn't understand what's happening on stage (and why it matters), they eventually stop showing up. So the instructor's job is to “break the third wall” — to actively connect what's happening on the floor to what the parent wants for their child. 6) Parents don't know what to look for — so you have to lend them your “glasses” Duane makes the point: parents can't recognize growth they don't know how to spot. If a parent says they want confidence, then the instructor has to: know that goal watch for it point it out in real time help the parent see it That's how you turn “martial arts class” into “this is changing my kid.” 7) Parent partnership is proactive — because by the time you hear “my kid wants to quit,” it's usually too late Both Duane and Allie agree: when a kid says “I don't want to go anymore,” most parents only ask a couple surface-level questions. School owners have to coach parents on: what sticking points look like what questions to ask how to peel the onion back how to hold the line when the child is frustrated 8) Use shared language to beat the “law of familiarity” Duane explains the “law of familiarity”: kids know how to push their parents' buttons because they're familiar. One way to bridge the gap is teaching parents to use the same language you use in class. When parents use dojo language at home, it snaps the child back into the same structure and expectations. Action Steps for School Owners Step 1: Make a list of what should be automated vs. what should never be automated Use this simple filter: Automate transactions (reminders, scheduling, admin, organization) Protect relationships (check-ins, coaching conversations, noticing emotions, personal follow-up) Step 2: Start one “high touch” habit you can actually sustain You don't need a massive program to start. Try this: Pull one parent per night for a 10-minute conversation Keep a simple list so you rotate through families Step 3: Build “breaking the third wall” into your teaching Pick one thing a parent wants (confidence, focus, respect, self-control). Then once per class, point out a moment that shows progress: “Mrs. Jones — did you hear how confidently Johnny answered that?” Step 4: Teach parents how to handle the “I don't want to go anymore” moment Be proactive. Tell parents upfront: sticking points are normal frustration is part of growth quitting conversations need deeper questions Then give them a simple script and a few follow-up questions to ask. Step 5: Use tech to create reminders for personal connection You can't automate genuine care. However, you can use tech to remind you to do it: reminders to send a postcard reminders to ask about a baseball game reminders to check in with a family Additional Resources Mentioned The relationship triangle: instructor, student, parent “Breaking the third wall” analogy (stage, actors, director, audience) The “law of familiarity” (why home behavior differs from dojo behavior) Principle: Technology handles transactions; people handle relationships Examples of high-touch actions: handwritten cards, birthday cards, personal apologies, check-ins

This month's Pet Parent Power Up is a little different: no intro music, minimal editing, and recorded on the fly to follow up on an important question from Sunday's episode.What should you do when you notice your pet doing something differently? Maybe your dog suddenly hesitates before jumping into the car, your cat starts sleeping somewhere new, or a pet who used to love a certain activity seems less interested.Before you panic or write it off as “just getting older,” Amy shares three questions that can help you decide whether you're seeing a simple preference, a pattern worth watching, or a change that deserves a conversation with your veterinarian:Is this actually new for my pet?Is it happening consistently?Is it interfering with something my pet normally wants or needs to do?You'll also learn why knowing your individual pet's normal matters, how videos and a few simple notes can help your veterinarian, and why aging, moving, stress, or other life changes shouldn't automatically be used to explain away new behavior.This episode builds on Sunday's conversation about treating pets as individuals and paying attention to what each animal actually needs.Veterinary Disclaimer: The Pet Parent Hotline is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

We also talk about maths, of course, and the problems with how it is approached in schools. And Ruth gives us all some great tips for approaching maths without fear!

571. The trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Massachusetts mother who allegedly strangled her three young children and says she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis — has reopened a conversation the public has been getting wrong for years. Baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis are three completely different conditions. Only one is a psychiatric emergency. This week Dr. Judy Ho explains the clinical distinctions, the warning signs that loved ones and clinicians miss, the systemic failures that allow this illness to go untreated, and the forensic question at the center of the trial: can a person be both sick and responsible?Have a mental health question?

What is the worst thing that could happen to your child? As parents and grandparents, we naturally think of things like addiction, illness, broken relationships, or tragedy. But how often do we think and talk about where they will spend eternity? In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow challenges parents and grandparents to recover a sense of urgency about eternity. Drawing from Scripture, the story of missionary John Paton, and The Little Pilgrim's Progress, Rob encourages families to talk openly about heaven, hell, salvation, and the Gospel—and to make helping their children trust and follow Christ the greatest mission of their lives. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why your child's eternal relationship with God matters more than any earthly success or struggle - Why Christian parents need to talk openly with their children about heaven, hell, judgment, and salvation - How the Gospel answers the reality of sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - Why months should not pass with our families focused only on school, sports, work, money, and everyday activities - How parents and grandparents can cultivate an eternal perspective in the next generation - Why helping your children follow Jesus should be at the center of your mission as a family Featured Resources: Visionary Parenting — Discover a biblical vision for parenting and practical ways to disciple your children and help them follow Jesus.

Dr. Siggie Cohen, child development specialist, parenting expert, and author of the new book You Are the Parent joins me to discuss why so many parents today feel overwhelmed, second-guess themselves, and wonder if they're getting it all wrong.   Together we explore:   Why so many well-intentioned parents get stuck in a cycle of trying new parenting strategies that never seem to work, and what to focus on instead. The subtle difference between validating your child's emotions and accidentally reinforcing behaviors that aren't helping them. Why behavior doesn't change because of the perfect consequence or script, but because of something much deeper happening within the parent-child relationship. The common child development misconceptions that leave parents expecting too much or too little from their children. Why repeating the same explanations over and over often isn't the answer, even when your child seems like they "aren't listening." How to respond to hitting, aggression, and other challenging behaviors in ways that support both emotional regulation and healthy boundaries. What it really means to become your child's leader without becoming controlling, harsh, or authoritarian. How to begin changing long-standing family patterns, even if your child is older and you've been parenting a different way for years. The powerful mindset shift that can help you stop parenting from fear and start trusting yourself again.   If you've ever worried about whether you're validating too much, setting too many limits, or simply trying your best while feeling pulled in a dozen different parenting directions, this conversation will help you cut through the noise, feel more confident in your role, and better understand what children truly need to thrive.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Does your child insist that only Mom can do bedtime? And they refuse to let Dad put them to bed? Parent preference at bedtime is incredibly common, especially during the toddler and preschool years. But while it's normal, that doesn't mean you have to accept a situation where only one parent can handle bedtime every night. In this episode, Allison explains why children develop a strong preference for one parent at bedtime and, more importantly, exactly how to help your child become comfortable with both parents doing bedtime. Allison shares a simple approach that she has seen work repeatedly with families, and says that many children begin to adjust within about a week when parents consistently follow the plan. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a child may strongly prefer one parent at bedtime Why parent preference does not mean your child loves the other parent less Why solving this issue can benefit the entire family How to establish a simple alternating bedtime schedule Why the parent whose turn it is should handle the entire bedtime routine from start to finish Why having both parents participate in bedtime can sometimes make the struggle worse What to say when your child protests or has a meltdown Why the preferred parent should not rescue the other parent during a difficult bedtime How to respond calmly while allowing your child to have big feelings Why the first few bedtimes may be rough, and why consistency matters How keeping the bedtime routine consistent between parents can help What to do if the bedtime struggle seems to involve more than just parent preference Chapter Markers: 00:00 – Allison's Maine & Acadia trip update 02:36 – When your child only wants one parent at bedtime 03:20 – Why parent preference at bedtime is completely normal 04:45 – Why it's worth helping your child accept both parents 06:05 – The key strategy: Take turns doing bedtime 07:25 – Why one parent should do the entire bedtime routine 08:35 – How to introduce the new bedtime plan 09:30 – What to say when your child protests 10:25 – Let the big feelings happen and keep moving 11:05 – Why the other parent shouldn't "rescue" bedtime 12:30 – How to handle a major bedtime meltdown 14:00 – Expect a few bumpy nights 15:15 – How quickly children usually adjust 16:10 – Keep the bedtime routine consistent between parents 17:00 – The one-week plan for ending parent preference 18:05 – When to seek additional help with bedtime struggles 18:40 – Final thoughts on parent preference at bedtime If you're in the middle of the "ONLY MOM!" or "ONLY DAD!" bedtime trenches, this episode will give you a practical plan for getting out of them.

Hi Parents! Teens are busier than ever before. Their schedules are full, their achievements are impressive, and on the surface, many appear to be doing everything "right." But are they actually thriving? In today's episode, I'm joined by internationally recognized educational psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Michele Borba to explore what it truly means to raise resilient, emotionally healthy teens in today's high-pressure world. Drawing from more than 40 years of research and the insights from her bestselling book Thrivers, Dr. Borba explains why success isn't measured by grades, trophies, or packed calendars - but by the character strengths that help young people navigate life's inevitable challenges. Together, we discuss why today's culture often prioritizes achievement over emotional growth, how removing every obstacle can unintentionally weaken resilience, and why healthy struggle is actually an essential part of development. Dr. Borba shares why qualities like empathy, perseverance, courage, and self-control are some of the strongest predictors of long-term well-being and how parents can intentionally nurture these traits at home. We also explore the difference between teens who simply look successful and those who are genuinely thriving, the role of real-world experiences in building confidence beyond screens, and practical ways parents can support emotional resilience without adding more pressure or expectations. If you've ever wondered whether your teen is truly flourishing or simply keeping up, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies for helping them build confidence, resilience, and the character strengths they'll carry for a lifetime.

This week on Yo Quiero Dinero I sat down with Leslie Priscilla, a Parent Coach, founder of Latinx Parenting, and author of the brand-new book CHANCLA: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture. Together we talk about the things that aren't always so easy when it comes Latino parenting: the good, the bad, and la chancla itself. We're getting into intergenerational trauma, why "gentle parenting" content ignores the reality Latina moms actually live in, what reparenting really looks like day to day, and how the money scarcity messaging we grew up with shapes our kids for life.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new teen focused safeguards in ChatGPT and what they can, and cannot, do for young people. They discuss emotional dependence, study tools, discernment, and the temptation to let AI replace the struggle and relationships that make learning meaningful. Parents will be encouraged to help teens use technology wisely while forming them to recognize trustworthy voices and stay rooted in relationships and truth that AI cannot replace.

When your child's behavior feels overwhelming, it may be communicating more than defiance. The reason why behavior is the signal, not the problem, explains what's beneath big reactions and how regulation changes everything. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is an expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood dysregulation.When your child melts down, argues, or refuses, it's easy to focus on stopping the behavior. But why behavior is the signal, not the problem, helps you look beneath the behavior and understand what your child's nervous system is communicating.Instead of chasing every reaction, learn to recognize when your child's stress cup is full and focus on regulation first. When you calm the brain first, everything else can begin to change.Why is my child's behavior getting worse even when I keep correcting it?If you feel like you're playing parenting whack-a-mole, you're not alone. One behavior improves, and another suddenly appears—homework refusal, meltdowns, arguing, crying, or explosive reactions.Behavior is communication. Instead of asking, “How do I stop this?” start asking, “What is this behavior trying to tell me?”Behavior is the signal—not the problem.Look for signs that your child's stress cup is full.Stop chasing every behavior and start lowering overall stress.Parent example: A child may explode before soccer, struggle with homework, and melt down over something tiny like toast being cut “wrong.” These may look like separate problems, but they can all signal an overloaded nervous system.What is my child's behavior trying to tell me?Your child's nervous system may be communicating that something is agitating, overwhelming, or overloading them. Until you understand what is happening beneath the behavior, you can easily miss the real clue.Ask yourself:What happened before this behavior?Was my child tired, hungry, overstimulated, or under-stimulated?Did they get enough sleep?Have they been holding it together all day at school?Could this be after-school restraint collapse?

From speaking out about concerns at her daughters' child care center to joining advocates from across the country at the National Child Care Convention in Chicago, Tiffany shares her perspective on parent power, accountability, universal child care, and why families must have a voice in shaping the systems that serve them.

Are you struggling to navigate your child's concussion recovery without a clear roadmap from their doctors? Most parents are left feeling overwhelmed by a confusing healthcare system that wasn't built for family advocacy, leaving them unsure of which specialists to see or whether their child is actually receiving the right treatment. Watching your child suffer from months of persistent symptoms—while missing out on school, sports, and their social life—is agonizing. Pushing through the pain or waiting for symptoms to magically disappear only delays healing, but with a targeted multi-system approach, early advocate intervention, and the right care team, you can actively guide your child back to the activities they love. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: The crucial questions to ask at every stage of care—from the emergency room to your follow-up provider. Why normal MRI and CT scans do not rule out a concussion, and what typical youth recovery timelines actually look like. How to spot the green and red flags of concussion treatment so you know if your child is getting proper, progressive care. Practical strategies to support your child's nervous system and social well-being at home without making recovery harder.

Billie has experienced child welfare from multiple perspectives: as a child in foster care and group placements, and later as a parent. In this deeply personal conversation, she joins InnerViews host Ivory Bennett to discuss grief, being unheard in care, motherhood, addiction and recovery, family separation, advocacy, and what children and families truly need from the systems designed to support them. Billie also reflects on why she now feels ready to tell her story—and why lived experience can help reshape child welfare for the next generation.Content Note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse and neglect, sexual assault, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, addiction and recovery, family separation, child removal, racism, grief, and difficult experiences within foster care and the child welfare system.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Caring for an elderly parent brings emotional, physical, and financial demands that reshape family life. Planning ahead, maintaining connection, and offering consistent compassion help preserve dignity, reduce isolation, and remind aging parents that they remain valued, loved, and deeply connected to family and community life...

This episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering explores how resisting what is happening in our lives intensifes stress, anxiety, fear, and emotional pain, and how acceptance can help quiet the mind and create space for what comes next. Through a deeply personal story of heartbreak, an unexpected injury, and receiving comfort at exactly the right moment, this episode reveals a powerful lesson: life may still be moving in our favor even when we cannot see it. Listeners will learn how to recognize when resistance is increasing their suffering, slow down during emotionally overwhelming moments, question fear-based thoughts, and use the practice of "Maybe" to become more open to uncertainty and possibility. Acceptance doesn't mean liking what happened or pretending something isn't painful. It means releasing the exhausting belief that life must be different before peace is possible. This episode is for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, heartbreak, divorce, relationship changes, disappointment, uncertainty, parenting worries, career setbacks, or an unexpected change in life. It offers a gentle reminder that difficult circumstances are not necessarily the end of the story. Life is still moving, possibilities are still unfolding, and sometimes letting go of resistance allows us to see choices, support, and opportunities we could not see before. If life isn't going according to plan, this episode can help you find greater acceptance, emotional resilience, peace of mind, and hope in the unknown. For all you know, Maybe the best is yet to come. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

This week's question comes from a protective mom navigating one of the most heartbreaking and misunderstood situations in family court.Her teenage daughter refuses to go to her dad's house. She's crying, begging not to go, and sometimes won't even get out of the car. She's too old to physically carry, and her mom doesn't want to force her in a way that could be traumatic. At the same time, she's terrified that if she doesn't somehow "make her go," the court will accuse her of alienation or violating the parenting plan.What is a protective parent supposed to do in a situation like this?In this Friday Coaching Corner, we explore the difference between facilitating parenting time and forcing a child, why that distinction matters, and how to navigate these impossible moments in a way that supports your child while making reasonable efforts to follow court orders.I answer the questions:What should I actually do when my teen refuses to get out of the car for parenting time?Where is the line between encouraging my child and forcing them?How can I show the court that I am supporting parenting time without traumatizing my child or appearing to alienate?Whether you're living this situation now or simply wondering how you would respond if it happened, this episode offers practical guidance, a trauma-informed perspective, and a mindset shift that can help you navigate one of the most difficult parenting dilemmas protective parents face.Want to have your questions featured on a Friday Coaching Corner?

People who were sexually abused as children and later seek help for mental health problems are being failed by the NHS, according to The Royal College of Psychiatrists. The RCOP has issued a public apology, saying decades of mismanagement and misdiagnosis have left many survivors without the support they need. Anita Rani is joined by Caroline Thompson, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and Dr Jo Stubley, a consultant psychiatrist and clinical lead of the Tavistock Trauma Service, who are co-authors of the RCOP's position statement. Today in towns and cities across the country, parents are being encouraged to go on strike to raise awareness about, what the strike's organisers say are the rising costs of raising children and the impossible demands this puts on parents. Anna Whitehouse, the founder of Flex Appeal, and George Gabriel, who co-founded The Dad Shift, discuss the flexible working and parental leave policies that they are calling for with The Parent Strike and how the Government is responding. For more than a decade, armed gangs in northern Nigeria have repeatedly targeted schools, kidnapping children for ransom and forcing some educational establishments to close.

Parent-teacher conferences can feel stressful for parents, but Sissy Goff and David Thomas encourage families to approach them as opportunities to build a supportive team around their child. They share practical ways to create a spirit of partnership with teachers, receive honest feedback without becoming defensive, and look beyond grades to understand how a child is growing academically, emotionally, and socially. They also remind parents to focus on a few meaningful next steps, involve children in solving problems, and recognize where stepping back may allow kids to develop greater independence, responsibility, and confidence. Suggested parent-teacher conference questions: How can I support what you're doing at school from home? Is there anything you see at school that we might not be seeing at home? Where do you see capability in my child that they might not see yet? Where could we give our child more responsibility? What are two things we could work on at home right now? . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

What happens when our kids grow up and our role as their mom begins to change?This is something I think so many moms struggle with, but we don't always talk about it. When our kids are young, there is so much support and conversation around parenting. But once they become adults, the challenges can feel much more complicated and lonely.We can find ourselves comparing our kids' lives. Where did they go to college? Are they married? Do they have kids? What are they doing with their lives? And then there are the harder questions. What happens when our adult child makes choices we don't understand? What happens when they pull away from us? And what happens when there is little or no contact at all?In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jim Burns about one of the hardest topics many parents face: estrangement from an adult child. We talk about what estrangement can look like, why parents often ask themselves, "What did I do wrong?" and how we can move from heartache to hope.One of the biggest reminders in this conversation is that we cannot fix our adult children. But we can learn how to love them well, communicate differently, and keep the door open for reconciliation.In This Episode, We Talk About: Why moms often struggle silently when parenting adult children The comparison game that can happen when our kids become adults What adult child estrangement can look like Why parents often blame themselves when a child pulls away Why unsolicited advice can feel like criticism How to become the calmest person in the room Being a safe person without becoming a doormat Moving from being an advice giver to becoming a mentor How to respond when we feel defensive or hurt Connect with Dr. Jim Burns:  Website: HomeWord  Instagram: Dr. Jim Burns and Doug Fields (@homewordfamily) Facebook: HomeWord Family Links Mentioned:  When Your Adult Child Strays: By Jim Burns Ph.D Doing Life with Your Adult Children: By Jim Burns Ph.D Boundaries: By Henry Cloud and John Townsend Reconnecting with Your Estranged Adult Child: By Tina Gilbertson Jim Burns Podcast - HomeWord  Related Episodes: Strengthening the Relationship with Your Adult Child :: Kathy Cunningham [Ep 543] How to {really} Parent with Grace :: Jeannie Cunnion {Ep 55} “How do I connect better with my kids?” [Ep 475] Featured Sponsors:  Honeylove: Save 20% off Honeylove by going to honeylove.com/DMA #honeylovepodExperience the new standard in comfort and support with Honeylove.
