LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS HERE! The legendary Sissy Goff and David Thomas join us this week. Things get off to a wild start when host Dave realizes that a woman who changed his life decades ago is actually David's sister. Once the shock wears off, the group discusses the duo's new book about raising capable kids in a world that feels increasingly fragile. They explore why today's kids are hesitant to do hard things, like getting a driver's license, and how the pandemic created a cocoon of safety. You will hear about the importance of practicing flexibility—even if it means causing a dinner table crisis by moving one seat to the left—and why parents must manage their own anxiety while watching their children struggle. From aggressive New York bagel shops to eighth-grade boys sleeping in a gas leak pose, this episode is all about trading protection for preparation.

Connection is central to our core values at Encompass. We recognize the deep need we, as humans, have to feel seen, known, and valued. In this episode of our Parent Talks podcast, we sit down with Encompass Early Literacy Specialist Ana Malloy. Ana shares how our ParentChild+ program helps caregivers and children connect over the joy of shared discovery through books, toys, and intentional time together. It's the ‘aha' moment when caregivers realize even simple activities can be meaningful and create lasting impact.
Today, we are talking about a massive misconception in the Amazon advertising world: the hyper-prioritization of Total ACoS.First things first, I will always argue it should be called ACOTS (Ad Cost of Total Sales), but terminology aside, using this metric purely as a PPC goal is fundamentally broken. The biggest flaw we cover in this episode is how product-level Total ACoS ruins your math, specifically because of Other SKU Sales. When you look at paid sales for a product ad, you're actually looking at sales generated for every SKU in your catalog. Instead of making misinformed cuts, we need to think full-funnel. In this episode, I break down exactly how to approach your Amazon PPC strategy for 2026. We discuss why you must track organic visibility alongside PPC visibility, how to use your Search Query Performance dashboard to monitor market share, and why you should be evaluating your Total ACoS at the Parent-Child family level using the Purchased Product Report.We'll see you in The PPC Den!

Episode 1 of Sister to Sister 2026 talks about the importance of parent-child relationships. Date aired: 28/2/26
I was recently going through some old family photos from back when I was an elementary-aged boy. I came upon one picture that brought back memories of certain summer days that I just didn't like at all. There I was, sitting in front of a flower bed with a bucket by my side as I was making my way across the front of the house pulling weeds. I was glancing at the camera as my dad snapped the shutter, and truth be told, my glance was really a glare. There were two arguments I remember having regularly with my parents. One came when they instructed me to do my chores, including weeding. The other came when they told me to do my homework. In today's world, those parent-child arguments still exist, but there's a new number one argument at the top of the list. Can you guess what it is? It's over screen time. As parents, we need to nurture our children from a young age into limits on screen time. Christian discipleship includes navigating our devices to God's glory.
This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, fills the studio with Green for a discussion about parenting in the age of climate chaos! Our guests this week are Megan Green, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Woven Nest Counseling and Coaching; and longtime local sustainability advocate, Jackie Green. Though unrelated, they are co-facilitators of a new free monthly workshop series coming up called “The Parent, Child and Climate Change.” It kicks off this weekend and will be held on third Saturdays, beginning February 21, 2026 from 2pm til 3pm at Highlands Community Ministries, 1228 E Breckinridge St (at Barret). Earth Home 40202, an initiative you heard about on this program back in October, is launching this supportive, empowering, health based, community building program for parents and older children. The program is free, but please let us know if you plan to attend by emailing earth.home.40202@gmail.com. Learn more about Earth Home 40202 at https://www.bikecourier.org/earth-home-40202/ or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/people/Deep-Ecology-Louisville/61581836699217/ Parenting today happens in the context of constant uncertainty—climate change, social instability, economic stress—and our nervous systems are taking that in whether we name it or not. Climate anxiety isn't a disorder; it's a nervous system response to ongoing, unresolved threat. Our bodies are designed to detect danger, and climate change is a chronic, future-oriented stressor. Many parents are quietly carrying fear and grief about the world their children are inheriting. That often shows up as burnout, urgency, irritability, or feeling like they're never doing enough. Children sense the state of the adults around them. They don't need all the information, but they feel the regulation—or dysregulation—of the nervous systems caring for them. From a nervous-system lens, anxiety and behavioral struggles aren't signs of weakness or bad parenting; they're signals that the system is overwhelmed. Our mental and emotional health are deeply connected to our environment. Humans regulate better with access to nature, sunlight, rhythm, and sensory safety—we are not separate from the natural world. Environmental degradation impacts mental health not just psychologically, but physiologically. When the environment feels unsafe, nervous systems stay on high alert. A nervous-system perspective shifts the question from “What's wrong with parents or kids?” to “What has their nervous system been asked to carry?” Regulation and connection are foundational—not luxuries. When nervous systems are supported, people have more capacity for hope, care, and meaningful action. Slowing down, repairing relationships, and spending time in nature are not passive responses; they are stabilizing acts that support both individual well-being and collective resilience. Hope doesn't come from denying reality. It comes from feeling safe enough to face hard truths while staying connected to one another. Supporting parents' nervous systems is a form of future care—for children, communities, and the planet.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Wren Byrd to the podcast. Wren was last on the podcast Season 5, Episode 213. Today we discussed what has changed in regards to the system and how parents are treated, especially during litigation. We also discussed why there is no enforcement of laws ALREADY in place. Wren brought up the book, "The Family Law Professional's Field Guide to HIGH CONFLICT LITIGATION; Dynamics, Not Diagnoses by Benjamin D. Garber, PhD, Dana Prescott, JD, LMSW, PhD and Chris Mulchay, PhD. The American Bar Association is endorsing it.

We are joined by Dr. Janice Enriquez, to discuss strengthening the parent-child relationship with a focus on PCIT/PCCARE therapy.
Friends, do you too have a box of keepsakes? Perhaps teeny tiny socks, some pre-school era artworks, maybe even some old baby teeth or twenty? Well your parents might have been a collector and we pitch that perhaps there’s some truth to this form of maximalism. Plus, are we rushing kids out of childhood? Experts are saying that to delay delay delay when it comes to kids’ first years of school but there are some serious things missing from that theory which we’re going to talk about. And, why we might just need to reverse the parent/child hierarchy and force our kids to fit into our schedules. Monz, Stacey and Amelia make the argument that our friend catch ups and our schedules are JUST as important as Timmy’s 3 hour soccer practice. Our Recommendations:
What if the words you speak in frustration are slowly eroding the relationship you most want to protect? In this deeply honest episode, Dana Kay welcomes back Ashley Gobeil, our resident child and family therapist, to explore how parents can repair, reconnect, and rebuild trust after conflict. Ashley shares why ADHD behaviors are rooted in nervous-system dysregulation and why healing begins when parents learn to co-regulate and model emotional accountability. Together, they unpack why traditional reward and punishment systems backfire, how to set firm yet compassionate boundaries, and what "connection before correction" looks like in everyday moments. Listeners will hear moving examples of repair conversations, simple regulation tools, and encouraging reminders that it's never too late to change the tone in your home. This episode will leave parents feeling seen, hopeful, and empowered to begin healing their own family patterns—one calm, connected moment at a time.

What actually shapes the way we connect with our babies? Our biology or our environment? In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Rocio Zunini to unpack the wildly fascinating science of parenthood and attachment styles. You'll learn how your brain literally changes during pregnancy and parenting (yes, your brain rewires itself!), why nurturing is far more powerful than we ever realized, and how those early interactions shape lifelong emotional regulation and resilience. Dr. Zunini breaks down groundbreaking research on how nurturing behavior in animals translates to humans, from secure to anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles and what that means for how we show up as parents. They also dig into how mothers' and fathers' brains adapt differently, the critical role of “allo parents” (those loving caregivers beyond mom and dad), and how awareness and mindful connection can actually rewrite generational patterns. If you've ever wondered how to raise emotionally secure, confident kiddos or how your own upbringing plays a role in the parent you're becoming, this one's a must-listen.

Not Perfect. Still Super. Every Family is a Hero… Would you join us at The Table?
In this week's Friday Coaching Corner, I respond to a heartbreaking listener story that highlights just how overwhelming it can feel to keep fighting for your child when the family court system and even your own attorney seem to be standing in the way.This listener's ex-partner is refusing to comply with the court order requiring their child to participate in family therapy, therapy that could be covered by Medicaid, while continuing to manipulate both the child and the process. The result is devastating: a protective parent with only a weekly phone call and a mountain of grief, legal obstacles, and financial strain.Questions Answered in this Episode:How to use the exact language in your court order to advocate for family therapy.The difference between family therapy and reunification therapy (and why it matters for insurance coverage).Practical steps for documenting refusals and setting up a motion to compel, rather than just contempt proceedings.Strategies for getting your unresponsive attorney to act, including how to organize your communications using the Rocks in a Jar method.Where to turn for ADA accommodation requests or grievances in Colorado.Speaking to the grief of being kept from your child—and why your early bond still matters.This is a tough but important conversation. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the whole burden of advocacy while the system lets you down, I hope you find both validation and practical direction here.Referred Links:Rocks in a Jar video - https://www.canva.com/design/DAGv_UPUPeA/aGbiC6yT5hNhbsoevU-cQQ/editProject Justice USA Survey - https://www.projectjusticeusa.com/Please leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

Shout out to all the folks who continue to show up for themselves. Lending physical and emotional support to others is easy. Extending that same amount of empathy and reliability to ourselves? Ugh, no. That's why many of us abandon our healing work just as things start to challenge us. But the muck is where we need to be if we have any hope of growing into a true expression of self. Annie Schuessler Zam, a therapist-turned-healer and host of the Rebel Therapist™ podcast, personifies the life-long practice of showing up for oneself. So, when she asked if she could return to the show to discuss her recent healing experiences, I was all in!

In this episode of Mind The Kids, our host for this series is Mark Tebbs who welcomes Isabel Aks and Professor William Pelham from the University of California, San Diego, for an insightful conversation on “Monitoring versus Knowing: Rethinking the Parent-Child Dynamics.” Drawing on their recent research published in JCPP Advances (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.70008), the trio explores what parental monitoring really means today—and why it's much more than just (as Mark's son says) “another name for spying.” Isabel explains how parental monitoring is often misunderstood as snooping, when in reality it's about the everyday ways parents stay connected to their children's lives, from casual check-ins to knowing their friends and routines. William, a clinical child psychologist, highlights the delicate balance between keeping kids safe and respecting their growing independence—especially in the digital age, where technology has transformed how parents and teens interact. Together, they discuss how trust is the foundation of effective monitoring, and how open communication—not just gathering information—builds stronger parent-child relationships. The conversation also unpacks the evolution of research in this area, shifting focus from simply what parents know to what they actually do to foster connection and care. With practical advice and real-world examples, this episode is essential listening for parents, clinicians, and anyone interested in the changing landscape of family life. Tune in to discover why intentional, adaptable, and caring approaches to monitoring can help families thrive, even as the world—and childhood—rapidly change.
This sermon is to encourage Dads to do well and to encourage children to have good relationships with their parents. Proverbs 17:6 shows us three generations, grandparents, parents and grandchildren, a picture of what God would like to see in families. Even in the beginning of time we see broken relationships between fathers and sons; […] The post Parent Child Relationships appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA.
Biologist Lauren O'Connell studies poisonous frogs, but not just the toxins that make them dangerous. She also studies the neuroscience of their complex parenting. She's learned that tadpoles recognize their mothers by smell and do a “begging dance” when hungry, and that the frogs produce a protein that protects them from their own poisonous chemistry. That protein could help treat overdoses in humans, O'Connell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Message us Questions and/or comments about the showDeveloping respectful relationships with our children requires understanding different perspectives on respect and modeling the behavior we want to see. We explore how parents can navigate the challenges of teaching and demonstrating respect without being overly permissive or authoritarian.• Many teens define respect conditionally—"I'll give it when I get it"—while adults value others' feelings regardless of differences• Social media influences how kids define respect, often tying it to status, followers, and influence rather than character• Modeling respect is more effective than demanding it—children learn by watching how we treat others in everyday situations• When emotions run high, remember: "Your mood doesn't get to dictate your manners"• Give children appropriate power and choices to prevent disrespectful exchanges• Sometimes calling a timeout is the best approach, allowing everyone to cool down• Be curious about the intention behind disrespectful behavior before addressing it• Role-play respectful conversations to help children prepare for making amends• Avoid counter-aggressive responses which create fear, distrust, or power struggles• Balance boundaries with respect for feelings to help children internalize respectGive us a five-star review and tell all your friends about how much you love Brain-Based Parenting.

These days, you hear more and more about parents and adult children being estranged from each other. Some individuals have even decided to go "no contact" with their parents; they don't want anything to do with their mom and/or dad at all.To understand what's behind this phenomenon, today I talk to Joshua Coleman, a psychologist who's spent 40 years counseling families and the author of Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict. Joshuagoes beyond the typical one-sided narratives around parent-child estrangement that tell the story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents, to unpack the larger cultural context for why these tensions have arisen. We discuss how society has moved from upholding a honor-thy-father-and-mother sense of obligation to prioritizing individuality and optionality, and why despite the fact that we're more child-focused and psychologically aware than ever, familial estrangements are on the rise. We get into the common reasons for estrangement, the role that expanding ideas of what constitutes abuse and trauma and an adult child's therapist can play in it, and how much parents can really be blamed for how their kids turn out. And we get into what parents who are estranged from their children can do to reconcile with them. Even if you're not personally estranged from a family member, the discussion of the underlying dynamics influencing all our modern relationships is a fascinating one.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #788: The Dangers of “Concept Creep”AoM Podcast #873: The Myths of TraumaConnect With Joshua ColemanJoshua's website
