In this heart-to-heart episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with my 19-year-old son, Ethan Hagner, for a raw and honest conversation about growing up, gaining independence, and building strong family bonds in the process. Together, we explore what it means to transition from teenager to young adult while still staying connected to family values, respect, and open communication.   We dive into how to respectfully disagree with parents, how to manage emotions in a healthy way, and the importance of creating space without disconnection. Ethan shares his personal experiences—from turning down college parties to navigating long-distance relationships—and how he's developed healthy coping mechanisms like ice baths, workouts, and prayer.   This episode isn't just for parents of teens. It's for any father who wants to lead his family with grace, patience, and intention—and raise young men of character in a chaotic world.   TIMELINE SUMMARY   [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement [1:01] - Raising independent, critical-thinking kids [2:12] - Respectful disagreements with parents and communication [3:02] - Pumpkin spice protein ice cream (yes, seriously) [5:03] - The scary truth about a Starbucks PSL's sugar content [6:42] - Why protein-first choices matter for men's health [9:34] - Introducing today's topic: family ties and independence [10:02] - Life after high school: structure vs. freedom [11:52] - Taking initiative as a young adult [13:35] - Visiting college friends and choosing not to party [15:12] - Why making different choices matters to dads [16:13] - Navigating peer pressure and honoring your values [17:02] - “Liquor is poison in a fancy bottle” – a mindset shift [18:01] - Recognizing alcohol for what it is: a toxin [21:03] - Creating safe space for respectful disagreements [23:04] - How to make kids feel seen, heard, and understood [25:21] - All emotions are welcome, not all behaviors are [26:26] - Ethan's favorite stress relief tool: beating up “Bob” [27:37] - Navigating long-distance relationships as a teen [29:13] - Classical music, cards, and healthy distraction [30:23] - Coping mechanisms that actually improve your life [32:05] - Ice plunges and dopamine boosts [34:20] - Why saunas win over cold plunges for dad [36:26] - A reminder: every man needs a list of positive go-to's [37:15] - The highs and fears of new independence [39:17] - What scares Ethan most about his future path [40:02] - Why dad feels the clock ticking at age 50 [42:25] - Book launch: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood [43:17] - Two free bonus courses for a limited time [44:15] - Why this father-son podcast is one-of-a-kind [46:00] - Temptation and faith: how Ethan calls on God [48:01] - God always provides a way out of temptation   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Independence Comes With Responsibility Growing up means more than freedom—it means taking ownership of your time, habits, and health.   2. All Emotions Are Welcome—Not All Behaviors Are Feeling anger, sadness, or frustration is normal. Acting with intention is what matters.   3. Respectful Disagreements Build Connection When parents create space for respectful pushback, kids learn how to think critically while staying connected.   4. Healthy Coping Mechanisms Are Essential From ice baths and workouts to music and prayer, having go-to tools keeps stress from taking control.   5. Faith and Intention Defeat Temptation Whether it's porn, partying, or self-doubt, Ethan reminds us that calling on God in moments of weakness gives us strength to choose better.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Order the new book: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook  Free Courses for a Limited Time: Creating More Patience Creating an Extraordinary Marriage   Episode page: https://thedadedge.com/1376   First Phorm Pumpkin Spice Protein: Only available for a limited time — https://1stphorm.com/collections/pumpkin-spice   James Swanwick's Alcohol-Free Program: https://www.jamesswanwick.com

TRIGGER WARNING— this episode contains explicit talk about suicide and methodology.Listen as Joanne shares her heart-wrenching story of losing her oldest son, Jacob, to suicide in September 2022.  Joanne shares that Jacob was a happy, easy child, and that she started noticing changes in his junior year in high school during Covid. Jacob stopped playing baseball, which he had always loved, and became more isolated in his senior year.  He had an online relationship but did not want to socialize with others. When he graduated from high school, Joanne shares that Jacob wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life. After sharing that he had thought seriously about suicide, Jacob agreed to go to counseling.  However, when his online girlfriend broke up with him, he was devastated. Jacob died by suicide on September 25, 2022.  Joanne was wracked with grief when Jacob's father died by suicide less than a month after Jacob. Joanne vulnerably and honestly shares the depth of pain and grief she experienced, leading to her own suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization.

Every day we take a breath from the busy work day to get a breack and hang out with friends to talk about what is going on in the world of Sports, Entertainment and specifically CrossFit.  Today we talk about how beautiful some of our country is.  What it's like being the parent to an artistic child and whatever you want to talk about.

Few words cut deeper for a parent than hearing your child say, “I hate you.” In the heat of the moment, it's easy to feel hurt, angry, or even tempted to pull away. But what if those words don't actually mean what they sound like? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester explore the deeper meaning behind those painful outbursts. Drawing on developmental science and research on emotional intelligence, they share how kids often use strong words when they're overwhelmed, disconnected, or lacking the language to express their true feelings. You'll hear:Why kids say “I hate you” — and what's really happening in their brains and heartsCommon parent reactions that can unintentionally add shame or distancePractical ways to stay calm, set boundaries, and respond with connectionHow to reassure your kids that your love is never conditionalEvery “I hate you” moment can become a doorway to deeper trust and connection.

Dr. Curt Thompson (https://curtthompsonmd.com/) is a widely known expert in interpersonal neurobiology, and I could not be more excited for you to hear this episode. Dr. Thompson's genuine love and care for people shines brightly in this conversation where he highlights his unique insights about how the brain affects and processes relationships. Dr. Thompson focuses on what we all as humans want— to be known— and how shame and trauma keep us in hiding. He shares about the non-profit he founded, The Center for Being Known (https://www.thecbk.org/), and the “confessional communities” that are part of the Center. These communities, Dr. Thompson shares, foster an environment where people feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, which leads to a deeper relationship with God and others. Dr. Thompson not only shares his expertise and wisdom but also some of his personal story of parenting an adult child who struggled with a mental health issue. Dr. Thompson is also the host of The Being Know Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-known-podcast/id1556261828), which helps people discover and explore what it means to be truly known.

As we read and reflect on each one, you may find yourself thinking: “Oh wow, I didn't realize I was doing that.” You'll hear:The hidden ways we accidentally attach conditions to our love.Why these patterns shape how children see themselves and us.13 shifts that help kids grow up knowing our love is steady, even when they struggle. This episode isn't about blame or guilt.

Welcome to Episode 272 of Autism Parenting Secrets.This week, we're talking about a medicine almost every parent has used. For decades, doctors have recommended it for fevers, ear infections, even after vaccines. It's long been considered safe.But compelling evidence shows it's not nearly as safe as we've been told—especially for babies and young children under stress.My guest is Dr. William Parker. He is distinguished, highly credentialed, and deeply passionate about protecting children. After earning his PhD in Chemistry, he spent nearly 30 years at Duke University studying biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology. He's best known for discovering the function of the human appendix—a safe-house for bacteria—and for the last decade, he's focused on how acetaminophen, when combined with oxidative stress, impacts brain development. He's published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, and his work points to this drug playing a major role in the rise of autism.This is a conversation parents need to hear. Dr. Parker is substantive, credible, and unwavering in his pursuit of the truth. It's not about fear—it's about clarity and better choices.The secret this week is…AVOID THIS Popular Drug To Protect DevelopmentYou'll Discover:The Hidden Link First Exposed in 2008 (4:51)How Acetaminophen + Oxidative Stress = Trouble For Susceptible Kids (15:29)The Timeline That Matches The Rise of Autism (23:26)The Flawed Assumptions in Many Scientific Studies (26:50)Practical Next Steps Parents Can Take (45:53)The Actual MECHANISM That Harms Brain Cells (51:07)About Our Guest:William Parker earned a PhD in Chemistry in 1992 and studied biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology at Duke University for almost 30 years before starting WPLab, a private, non-profit research and education corporation, in 2021. Best known for the discovery of the function of the human appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), Dr. Parker has spent almost a decade studying the impact of acetaminophen combined with oxidative stress on neurodevelopment. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, including work in PLoS One, the European Journal of Pediatrics, Minerva Pediatrics, and Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics. WPLab scientists have concluded that many, if not most, cases of autism are a chemically induced injury caused by exposure of susceptible babies and children to acetaminophen.References In This Episode:Learn more about Dr. Parker's work: PreventAutism.org and www.wplaboratory.orgAdditional Resources:To learn more about personalized 1:1 support, go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.comTake The Quiz: What's YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Welcome to Episode 271 of Autism Parenting Secrets.Parents are often told that autism is fixed, with limited options beyond therapies to manage behaviors. That definition is wrong. Autism is biomedical—and that opens up entirely new possibilities for parents.My guest this week is Dr. Christian Bogner, a physician, educator, and father whose son continues to make meaningful improvements. His personal and professional journey has led him to work with over 1,000 families worldwide, uncovering the genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors driving autism and chronic disease.In this conversation, Dr. Bogner shares why autism must be understood as biomedical, why families can't afford to wait for mainstream medicine to catch up, and what simple, affordable steps parents can take today to help their children thrive.The secret this week is… Autism Is BIOMEDICALYou'll Discover:Why the Current Definition of Autism Misses the Mark (2:32)How Parents Can Prepare the Body Before Targeting the Gut (11:15)Why Simple Stool Testing Provides a Powerful Starting Point (14:10)The Power of a Gut Balancing Protocol (28:05)How Environmental Toxins Like Glyphosate Disrupt Gut Health (34:36)The Connection Between Gut-Derived Chemicals and Altered Consciousness (52:11)About Our Guest:Christian Bogner, MD, FACOG, CFMNPDr. Christian Bogner's journey into functional and integrative medicine began in 2007 when his eldest son was diagnosed with autism at just 2.5 years old.

PART 2   3. Some important quotes stand out!  4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important The function of the rod It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17 The rod defined - p. 104 “The rod is a parent, in faith toward God and faithfullness toward his or her children, undertaking the responsibility of careful, timely, measured, and controlled use of physical punishment to underscore the importance of obeying God, thus rescuing the child from continuing in his foolishness unto death.”  It is a parental exercise It is an act of faith in God and His Word It is an act of faithfulness - an expression of love and comitment It is an act of responsibility - not a parent determining to punish, but a parent determining to obey It is an act of physical punishment Not venting or parental anger Not frustration Not based on a feeling of my child is bothering me It is always measured and controlled It is a rescue mission Rescues the child from continuing in foolishness To ignore your child's rebellion against God's authority is to ultimately brings God's greater chastisement into their lives. The Rod clarified Not unbridled temper Not the right to hit my child Not venting or frustration not retribution Not payment but restoration Not vindictive The Rod objected I love my child too much too spank You love yourself too much to spank them I am afraid I will hurt them “Biblically-balanced discipline never physically endangers a child” I am afraid it will make him rebellious and angry Proverbs 29:17 teaches the exact opposite I am afraid it will teach them to hit Only if you spank in anger It doesn't work It doesn't when you spank in anger or out-of-control It doesn't when you are inconsistent It doesn't when you fail to be persistent It doesn't when you aren't effective I could be arrested for child abuse Only spank in the privacy of your home and do it right

Are you clearing every obstacle out of your child's way? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack snow plow parenting—why it happens, how it holds kids back, and what to do instead. Snow plow parenting is when parents try to remove every challenge or discomfort from their child's path. While it often comes from love and fear, this approach can unintentionally rob kids of the resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive. Kyle and Sara share why parents fall into this trap, the long-term costs to children, and how to shift toward a healthier approach. You'll learn practical strategies for recognizing when you're “snow plowing,” scaffolding instead of rescuing, and coaching kids through life's challenges while still offering the support they need. Key Takeaways: Snow plow parenting means clearing obstacles to prevent failure or discomfort.While motivated by love, it can lead to anxiety and low confidence in kids.Children miss opportunities to build resilience and emotional intelligence when parents over-intervene.Recognizing when you're snow plowing is the first step to change.Coaching and scaffolding help children learn to solve problems at their own pace.Allowing small struggles is essential for long-term growth.Validating feelings—without rushing to fix—is a powerful parenting tool.Trusting children to handle challenges builds their confidence and independence. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/stop-snow-plow-parenting-build-resilient-confident-kids. Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook 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.

Send us a textKen Fong and I unpack the life and legacy of Dr. James Dobson, who just recently passed away. For many of us, Dobson's voice was a constant presence in American evangelical homes. He was the trusted “family counselor” who seemed to offer simple, practical guidance about raising children, strengthening marriages, and protecting the home. His books—Dare to Discipline, Bringing Up Boys, Bringing Up Girls—were bestsellers, and his radio program reached countless millions. They shaped how countless parents understood what it meant to raise a family in a “Christian” way. On the surface, it all seemed non-political, even innocent.But as the years progressed, it became clear that Dobson was building something much bigger than a parenting movement. He founded Focus on the Family, moved his empire to Colorado Springs, and began to insert himself more directly into politics. Along the way, he inspired children's programming and homeschooling curriculum. He trained thousands of young people in “Biblical World View.” He became an outspoken promoter of Donald Trump. He engineered the identification of white evangelicalism with the Religious Right, commandeering the Republican Party into an unrelenting culture war. Ken Fong shares his research on the roots of Dobson's work in the discredited “science” of eugenics and names his mentor in psychology, the famed eugenicist and atheist Paul Popenoe.As Senator Barry Goldwater warned back in 1980, when religious leaders gain control of a political party, it creates a dangerous situation. Goldwater said, “These people believe they're acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.” Dobson embodied that posture - NO COMPROMISE.For those of us who grew up under his influence, the costs were real. His insistence on “breaking the spirit” of children, corporal punishment, his crusade against the LGBTQ+ community — fighting same-sex marriage in California's Prop 8 campaign, promoting conversion therapy, framing homosexuality as a threat to children—all of these left deep wounds. Add to all that, he applauded and facilitated the election of this current wrecking-ball administration.    As we remember his legacy, we must not ignore his undeniable contribution to the rancorous Us-versus-Them culture in our perilously divided nation. In this episode, Ken Fong and I peel back the layers of Dobson's legacy. His death may close a chapter, but the impact of his divisive ideology continues to shape families, churches, and American politics.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.
