He is joined by Sherman Young, whose first born is just days away, so Will share the highs and lows of having your first child. Sherm, understandably nervous and anxious to start his journey into fatherhood, confides in Will his excitement and trepidations for the arrival of his daughter, Scarlett. Will starts out by throwing around names for the For The Dads community. Then Sherm talks to Will about his worries regarding getting enough sleep once Scarlett is born. Plus, Will talks Sherm through delivery room do's and don’ts and Sherm gets emotional talking about the pending arrival of his daughter. The boys take a call from a disappointed Husker Girl Dad, and Will devises a plan to help his daughter understand jerseys aren’t just for boys. For the message of the week, Will delivers a "letter to Sherm" welcoming him into “The Fatherhood.” We hope you enjoy! Let us know in the comments what you'd like to see more of.

Discipline is one of the hardest parts of parenting—and one of the most frequently asked-about topics from Wire Talk listeners.

Whether you're parenting toddlers, school-aged kids, or teens, grab your headphones and get ready to reframe your mindset with the powerful biblical principle: pain now equals peace later.Episode Recap:8:14 Discipline starts with your mindset 9:36 Pain now equals peace later12:24 Discipline has to be consistent.13:34 The three stages of discipline each require a different focus from moms16:17 The “B”s of discipline with young kids are: Be Consistent, Be United, Be Clear17:05 In the middle years it's time to teach the “why” behind the no18:11 You have to slow down and make time to teach your child20:20 During the “coaching” stage, parents have to let consequences play outScripture for Reflection: Hebrews 12:11 (NIV)“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”Questions for Discussion:Are there any negative behaviors you see in your child now that you are tempted to ignore, thinking they will grow out of it? Karen mentioned the idea that "pain now will equal peace later" when it comes to parenting. Have you experienced this in your own life? How have you seen this in your parenting journey? Which stage of discipline are you in right now? (Laying the Foundation, Teaching the ‘Whys', The Coaching Years)Do you think the pace of your life is preventing you from disciplining effectively?

On this episode, Cheryl talks about what a gifted athlete and student DJ was, and how she and her husband had no idea that DJ was struggling. Cheryl candidly discusses the hours, days, and weeks following DJ's suicide and how their friends and community surrounded them and held them up during this time. Cheryl offers advice and tips to parents based on what she has learned since DJ's death, as well as how her Christian faith has sustained her and led her to the establishment of the DJ Deas Marvelous Light Foundation (https://djdeasmarvelouslightfoundation.com). Cheryl's life passion is to prevent another family from experiencing death by suicide. Cheryl wants people to know that even on the darkest days, there is still hope, and it's ok to not be ok.

This episode is a don't-miss for all. Kim is passionate about all kids belonging, particularly in church settings. But Kim's book and principles apply to all of us, and we ended our time together by saying, “Just be a decent human being.” While this can seem so simple, Kim helps us understand the ways that we don't do this well and how we can do it better, especially with kids and adults who have “invisible disabilities”. Kim talks about how trauma impacts children and their attachment and how neurodivergence affects the brain.  Kim also gives great tips for parents on finding support for themselves as well as finding a good fit with a therapist for their child. Kim encourages us to be curious, to be kind, and to be flexible.

Don't miss this summer kick-off episode of The Just A Mom Podcast featuring Anna McCasland. Anna has an incredible and unique journey as a person with lived experience with PANDAS, which is short for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections.  PANDAS is a rare autoimmune condition that can occur in children after a strep throat infection, and is characterized by a sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive (OCD) along with other behavioral and emotional changes. Anna candidly shares how, after a strep throat infection at age 12, her life changed. Anna chronicles her journey and how her parents were incredible advocates for her and how, after a myriad of mental health treatments, including numerous medications and therapy, she was able to lead a fairly typical life in high school and college.  However, things changed dramatically when Anna graduated from college and started her first job. Anna tells how she became a shell of a person, experiencing a host of physical and mental health issues. Because of the tenacity of Anna and her parents, Anna was able to locate a researcher in PANDAS, and her life virtually changed within days of a new treatment and understanding of her PANDAS. Anna shares how she cares for herself and her mental health, and encourages parents to listen to their children and not to give up looking for answers.

In this episode, I'm joined by cognitive psychologist and ADHD expert Eliza Barach to explore the brain-based differences that drive many of the challenges (and strengths!) that come with ADHD.   Together we cover:   The neuroscience of an ADHD brain and why having this basic knowledge can be so impactful for your parenting! How understanding the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine are important aspects of understanding your child (or yourself!) with ADHD. Why people with ADHD are more vulnerable to all forms of addictions. And while our culture rewards some addictive behaviors (like workaholism) while condemning others, both can have negative impacts on your mental health. How to make transitions easier for your child with ADHD. (Want to learn more about this topic? Check out episode 295. How can I get my child with ADHD go from one activity to the next without a fight?) Specific and real-life strategies parents can implement to add more stimulation to boring tasks that will decrease the amount of fights and power struggles between you and your child. Why kids with ADHD are so prone to meltdowns and how pointing out the logic to your child in these hot moments can help lay the foundation for more self-regulation in the future. (But, only if you do so in the "right" way.) Activating your child's Task Positive Network can be regulating for the nervous system—what parents can do to get this part of your child's brain to turn on. The failing of the system for diagnosis of ADHD, especially in girls and marginalized communities, and why getting a diagnosis is so vital for allowing proper support for a person's unique strengths and challenges.  If you've ever wondered whether your child might have ADHD, felt unsure how to support them without constant conflict, or simply wanted to better understand their needs, this episode is packed with clarity, compassion, and expert insights you can put into practice right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: https://www.neural-revolution.com/   ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND RESOURCES:

In this thought-provoking episode, Kyle and Sara Wester challenge a common parenting goal: obedience. They explore why obedience might deliver quick results, but often at the cost of long-term connection, emotional development, and a child's capacity for critical thinking. Instead, they advocate for cooperation as a healthier, more empowering goal. Drawing from real-life examples and their work with families, Kyle and Sara share practical strategies to nurture trust, respect, and internal motivation in kids. They explain how cooperation builds emotional intelligence, strengthens relationships, and prepares children to become thoughtful, capable adults. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/why-obedience-shouldnt-be-your-parenting-goal 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.com The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Is parenting today genuinely more difficult—or are we just overthinking it?

There's so much we can learn from the older (and wiser) generation of grandparents! Today we thought we'd tap into that wealth of knowledge by asking grandparents to send in their best life advice and sharing them on the podcast! It was so sweet to read advice from people who have already gone through the season we're in now and we were reminded of what's most important in life. We hope this episode makes you happy like it did for us
