In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jenny Demark, Conrad Leung, and Dr. Linda Reinstein to talk about their new book, Complex Kids, Simple Solutions: How to Raise Resilient, Confident, Likable Kids. These are clinicians who've spent years working directly with families dealing with everything from emotion regulation challenges, to childhood anxiety, to severe behavioral challenges, and what I liked about this conversation is that it stayed extremely practical throughout. We spent a lot of time talking about their "Prepare, Teach, Motivate" framework, and how parents and professionals can think more systematically about helping kids build resilience and coping skills rather than just reacting to challenging behavior in the moment. Along the way, we discussed: Why some children require more intentional and consistent parenting approaches than others. How to build stronger relationships with kids who engage in challenging behavior. The importance of following a child's interests to create meaningful connection. Screen time struggles and how to reduce device dependence without escalating conflict. Emotion regulation strategies for children with frequent outbursts. Why many young children struggle to generalize skills learned in traditional talk therapy. The role of parental accommodation in maintaining anxiety and avoidance. Practical approaches to school refusal and helping kids gradually face difficult situations. Why parent coaching is often more effective than focusing exclusively on the child in therapy. The importance of self-care for parents and practitioners alike. I think this episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, school professionals, clinicians, and of course parents trying to support kids with more complex behavioral and emotional needs.

What if one conversation could change — or even save — a child's life? In this deeply meaningful episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with pediatric psychologist Dr. Chloe Barry of AdventHealth for Children and radio personality Sondra Rae from Johnny's House on XL106.7 for an honest conversation about childhood mental health, emotional regulation, parenting, resilience, and the growing need for emotional wellness support in today's world. Together, they unpack the powerful mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement and why creating emotionally safe spaces for children matters now more than ever. From navigating anxiety and behavioral challenges to understanding the lasting impact of COVID on emotional development, this conversation gives parents practical tools to help kids process emotions, communicate openly, and develop lifelong coping skills. Dr. Barry explains the critical difference between “will vs. skill” when it comes to emotional regulation, shares simple daily practices like “High-Low-Buffalo” check-ins, and reminds parents that therapy isn't only for crisis moments — it can also equip children with essential emotional tools for life. Sondra Rae vulnerably shares her own parenting journey, how therapy has helped her twins build confidence and coping skills, and why normalizing mental health conversations at a young age is so important. If you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone passionate about emotional wellness, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and reminded that you are never alone in the journey. In this episode, they discuss Why emotional wellness conversations should start early The mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement Childhood anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation How COVID impacted children's emotional development Why today's kids are “built different” Practical tools for helping kids process emotions The “will vs. skill” framework for emotional regulation How therapy supports both children and parents Parenting through overwhelm and emotional burnout Why family connection and communication matter more than ever The importance of reducing stigma around mental health Creating emotionally safe spaces for children Supporting kids through stress, frustration, and big emotions How parents can model healthy emotional behaviors The role of mental health navigators and community resources

Why do kids struggle so much with time management — and why does it often turn into stress, meltdowns, and constant reminders for moms?In this episode, Lori sits down with Mindy Hudon, a speech-language pathologist with more than 30 years of experience helping children with communication and executive function challenges. Mindy is the co-owner of Achieve Speech & Language Services, the creator of the Bee A Time Keeper® clock, and the award-winning author of Kodi's Adventures: How I Learned to Defeat the Time Snatcher.Together, they discuss: Why many children are “time blind”  How executive function impacts planning, transitions, and routines  Why kids may not actually be ignoring you  How visual tools can reduce anxiety and help children self-manage  The connection between ADHD and time management struggles  Practical ways moms can teach kids independence without constant nagging  Simple strategies to make mornings, transitions, and routines easier If you've ever felt frustrated trying to get everyone out the door on time, this episode will help you better understand what's really happening — and give you practical tools you can start using right away.

Most families haven't stopped talking, they've just stopped talking to each other. The natural moments that used to create connection are gone, replaced by constant noise and distraction, and no one has really stepped in to lead what comes next. In this episode, Pastor Q breaks down why conversation in the home is fading, how digital life is quietly pulling people apart, and why this is less about technology and more about focus. He gets into what silence actually does inside a family, how it creates distance and insecurity, and why words, real face to face conversation, still carry the weight nothing else can. If things feel off at home and you can't quite name it, this will help you see it clearly and give you a simple way to start fixing it.

Everything made sense once I saw the full picture.Receiving a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis can be both validating and eye-opening, and that's exactly what we explore in this conversation. As I talk with Lindsay, I'm struck by how her story reflects something I see often, high-achieving, capable individuals who have been compensating and masking for years without realizing why things felt harder behind the scenes.We talk through what it looked like for her to thrive in a fast-paced Wall Street environment while quietly navigating challenges with time management, comprehension, and testing. Her diagnosis came after her children were identified as neurodivergent, which is such a common pathway for families.I also love how openly she shares the realities of parenting two neurodivergent children, from early sensory challenges to finding the right supports and building a strong community. We get into practical strategies that truly make a difference, including sleep, nutrition, exercise, and structure.This conversation is a powerful reminder that ADHD can be a strength, and that understanding your brain can unlock better support, connection, and self-advocacy.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:What a late ADHD diagnosis can reveal about your pastParenting neurodivergent children and finding the right supportsPractical strategies that support regulation and successThe role of masking, self-advocacy, and communityMentioned In This Episode:Earn CEUs with a community of peers.

Ask Rachel anythingIt's exam season and so important to keep a steady ship with all of the stress in the house. I thought it would be a great time to interrupt my youngest, Amelia, for an honest chat about what she sees as both good and bad strategies for supporting teenagers through exams, and homework; particularly those with dyslexia and ADHD. We wanted to give parents hope, an honest insight into how bumpy the road can become, and how long it can take to figure out what the best way of supporting your teen will be.Over the past six months at her new college, Amelia has really found her feet and feels motivated to work very hard. This is helped enormously by feeling she matters to friends, loving the college she is at, and receiving proper ADHD support and intervention. She shares her previous struggles with homework and motivation, attributing it to a lack of emphasis on academics and being placed in less academically focused classes, but also made clear how important it is to take time to understand underlying issues rather than assuming laziness. Amelia advises against nagging, focusing on long-term goals, and providing structure without micromanaging. Listen to the end to hear Amelia's important, very spontaneous, message for all parents listening to this podcast. As usual, my girls prefer not to be on camera, so this is an audio-only episode.OTHER EPISODES:Helping kids with exam nervesTips for parenting through the pressure of examsTrust your kidsBoys who're apathetic about study and examsWhy school exam systems need to changeHow anxiety works and what we can doFind the top tips here: Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

The word “mindfulness” gets thrown around a lot... But have you ever taken the time to consider what it really means to parent mindfully? Or how embracing all of your emotions—even the tough ones—can transform your family life? Gestalt Therapist, certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and father of one, Vikram Kolmannskog, joins us to share wisdom from his upcoming book Reflections on Parenting From a Gestalt Therapist Father: Life With Leo. Vikram shares about his own alternative family structure, the importance of embracing emotional honesty, making space for playfulness, and how the principles of Gestalt therapy can help us raise confident, empathetic kids. Topics include: • Understanding Gestalt therapy and its focus on awareness, mindfulness, and relational dialogue in both therapy and everyday life. • Applying Gestalt and mindfulness strategies to parenting, especially around navigating emotions (both our kids' and our own), while aiming to be a “good enough” dad. • Exploring co-parenting in an intentional, non-traditional family structure with two fathers and a mother, and the legal, social, and personal challenges encountered. • The importance of allowing and naming all emotions, including anger, for both children and adults, and breaking emotional taboos in parenting. • Navigating cultural and institutional heteronormativity around family structures and parenthood, and advocating for greater inclusivity. • The value of playful parenting, eco-parenting, and the influence of childlike spontaneity and joy on both personal and professional life. • Creating safe and open environments for children to freely express gender and identity, while preparing them for a world that isn't always accepting. • And more!   LINKSVikram Kolmannskog (homepage)Reflections on Parenting From a Gestalt Therapist Father: Life With Leo.Vikram Kolmannskog (Instagram)Vikram Kolmannskog (Facebook)DEATH AND (homepage)DEATH AND (YouTube)This Headache Journey (Apple Podcasts)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Welcome to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones unpacks a familiar but often puzzling moment for parents—when girls come home from school and completely fall apart. After holding it together all day, emotions spill out in tears, frustration, or big reactions that can leave parents wondering what went wrong.With warmth and insight, Melissa explains why this “after-school unraveling” is not a sign that something is wrong at school, but often a powerful indicator of safety and trust at home. She explores how girls manage emotional pressure throughout the day and why home becomes the place where they finally feel free to release it all.Melissa also shares practical, compassionate strategies to help parents respond to these emotional outbursts in ways that support connection rather than shutting feelings down. By understanding what's underneath the behavior, parents can create an environment where girls feel seen, supported, and emotionally secure.In this episode, we discuss:Why girls often unravel emotionally at home after schoolHow emotional release can be a sign of safety and trustWhat's really happening beneath after-school meltdownsCommon mistakes parents make when responding to emotional outburstsHow to create a safe space for emotional expressionPractical strategies to respond with empathy, calm, and confidenceJoin Melissa for this reassuring and eye-opening conversation that reframes after-school emotional meltdowns as meaningful moments—opportunities to strengthen trust, deepen connection, and support girls as they learn to understand and express their feelings.Download the Quick Tips PDF of today's episode for future reference.If you know a parent who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them!

Welcome to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones dives into a dynamic many parents encounter but often misunderstand—defensiveness. When girls push back, shut down, or react strongly, it can feel personal or disrespectful. But as Melissa explains, defensiveness is often a form of self-protection, not a reflection of poor parenting or a broken relationship.With clarity and compassion, Melissa explores what's really happening beneath defensive reactions and why these moments matter so much during a girl's formative years. She shares how emotional triggers, communication patterns, and a child's sense of safety all play a role—and how parents can respond in ways that build trust rather than tension.In this episode, we discuss:Why defensiveness is often a protective response, not disrespectCommon emotional triggers behind defensive reactions in girlsHow parental tone and approach can either calm or escalate conflictCommunication strategies that help girls feel heard and understoodThe role of patience and emotional safety in difficult conversationsPractical tools for navigating defensive moments with confidence and careJoin Melissa for this thoughtful and reassuring conversation that reframes defensiveness as an opportunity—one where empathy, trust, and emotional safety can strengthen connection and help girls grow into confident, secure young women.Download the Quick Tips PDF of today's episode for future reference.If you know a parent who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them!

We're joined by Jordan Black, BCBA, co-host of Moms on Their Best Behavior, and co-owner of Best Behavior Solutions, for a meaningful conversation about making ABA strategies more accessible, practical, and relevant beyond the therapy room. Jordan shares her path into the field, including her background in special education and how becoming a parent shaped the way she approaches behavior support.We talk about why ABA should not feel exclusive to autism services and how understanding the function of behavior, teaching replacement behaviors, and using reinforcement effectively can support all children across home, school, and community settings. Jordan also highlights the importance of helping parents understand why behaviors occur, rather than relying solely on consequence-based approaches.Our conversation expands into schools and daycares, where staff often lack formal behavioral training but manage complex environments every day. We wrap up by discussing parent buy-in, collaboration, and Jordan's advice for newly certified BCBAs who are still finding their footing in the field.What's Inside:Making ABA strategies practical for parents and everyday lifeUnderstanding behavior as communication and teaching replacement skillsSupporting schools and educators with behavioral toolsAdvice for newly certified BCBAsMentioned in This Episode:Moms on Their Best Behavior PodcastBest Behavior Solutions@momsontheirbestbehavior on InstagramHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones speaks to parents who feel uneasy when their daughter goes quiet and the silence feels overwhelming.Melissa reframes silence as a normal—and often healthy—part of growth, not a sign of disconnection. She explains why pushing for conversation or jumping to conclusions can create distance, and how calm presence, patience, and space can actually strengthen your bond. Through personal stories and practical insight, Melissa shows how connection doesn't always come from talking, but from simply staying steady and available.Tune in to discover:Why silence isn't something to fearWhat not to do when your daughter shuts downHow presence and non-verbal connection build trustWhy giving space can deepen your relationshipThis episode is a reassuring reminder that you don't have to fill every quiet moment to stay connected. Sometimes, showing up calmly is more than enough.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

In this enlightening episode, we engage in a profound dialogue with Dr. Chris Hanson, author of "Open and Relational Parenting: Loving Parents Reflecting a Loving God." Central to our discussion is the concept that parenting, when infused with principles of open and relational theology, can reflect the loving nature of God. Dr. Hanson elucidates how traditional parenting models often conflict with contemporary psychological insights, advocating for a nurturing approach that promotes responsiveness to children's needs. Throughout the conversation, we explore the intersection of faith and parenting, emphasizing the importance of empathy and collaborative decision-making within families. This episode serves as an invitation for parents to reconsider their methodologies and embrace a more relational and loving framework in their parenting practices. The discourse presents an in-depth exploration of the theological concept of acceptance, drawing from Romans 15 and linking it to the idea of Christ's servanthood. The speakers invite Dr. Hansen to elucidate how this understanding can be operationalized in modern relationships. Dr. Hansen recounts his experiences within the church, where he observed a disconnect between authoritative parenting paradigms and evidence-based practices in child-rearing. He articulates the need for a paradigm shift towards a nurturant style of parenting that aligns more closely with relational theology.

Host: Kate Brownfield, Certified Whole Person & ADHD Parent Coach Guest: Dr. Kate Lund, clinical psychologist, peak performance coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting Episode Overview In this empowering “Kate + Kate” episode, Kate talks with Dr. Kate Lund about what resilient parenting really looks like when you're raising kids with ADHD, big emotions, or health challenges. Drawing from her own medical journey (hydrocephalus as a child), 20+ years as a psychologist, and parenting 18-year-old twins, Dr. Lund explains resilience not as “pushing through,” but as a lifestyle: managing your stress response daily so you can ride the waves of homework battles, morning chaos, and dysregulated kids. She teaches a simple, science-backed tool, the Relaxation Response, that parents can practice for 5 minutes in the morning and at night to lower reactivity, model calmness, and create a more regulated home. Suppose your baseline feels higher than that of other parents because your child is more intense or more dysregulated. In that case, this episode will help you stop comparing, honor your unique context, and build steadiness that you can actually sustain. What We Talk About (Highlights) Resilience as a lifestyle Managing your stress response The Relaxation Response (Herbert Benson) Modeling regulation Avoiding the comparison trap “Step away” moments Ripple effect for ADHD families: Calm first, then coach skills Resources & Links Guest: Dr. Kate Lund https://www.katelundspeaks.com/ Book: Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting https://www.katelundspeaks.com/book About Your Host, Kate I'm Kate Brownfield, Certified Whole Person & ADHD Parent Coach, author of How We Roll: A Parent's Journey Raising a Child with ADHD, and host of The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast.

Every parent wants to protect their daughter—but when does protecting cross the line into preventing her from growing? On this week's Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dive into the challenge of “lawnmower parenting” and how stepping back actually strengthens our daughters for the road ahead.  Through honest stories and Biblical encouragement, Rachael and Natalie share what it looks like to let our girls face healthy adversity, build resilience, and learn to trust God's leadership in their own lives. From kindergarten battles over hair bows to navigating playground conflicts and tough conversations with teachers, they remind us that ease doesn't build strength—resistance does.  You'll also hear a special Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay about how adversity strengthens trees—and girls. Together, we'll explore why our instincts to intervene, though good, must sometimes yield to God's greater plan for our daughters' growth.  Scripture References:  Isaiah 55:8–9  Proverbs 16:3  If you've ever wrestled with when to step in and when to step back, this episode will encourage you to parent with courage, humility, and trust in God's sovereignty.   Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.     To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

Today's guest is author, speaker, and podcast host Laine Lawson Craft. This episode is a little longer because Laine's personal experience as the mother of three - yes three! - prodigal children and the strategies she's learned along the way are just too helpful and powerful to edit down to the length of most of my episodes. Our children mean so much to us but parenting them isn't for the faint of heart. The terrible twos were indeed terrible. And no one prepared us for the turbulent teen years. Today's interview is about parenting an adult child who is making destructive decisions or who is walking down a dark path or who has turned his/her back on their faith. Parenting a wayward or prodigal child impacts a parent in significantly different ways.Laine poured her experiences with her three prodigal children and the wisdom she gained into her book, The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal Child and her devotional, Warfare Parenting: A Daily Battle Plan to Fight for Your Child. Both are available on Amazon.Laine and I discussed the journey with each of her three children, content from her book, and her desire to have Warfare Parenting Small Groups across the country to support parents of wayward and prodigal children.Notable quotes:* "Hope to me is waiting expectantly on God's turnaround."* "Today's struggle is tomorrow's testimony.”* "Like a relentless rescue team, God is tirelessly working to bring your lost one home. God is in the rescue business, and He's really good at it.”* "I'm going to love you so that you see something different in me that makes you yearn to be more like that.""They were just in a chapter of their story, and God gets all the glory. And now they are messengers of hope to their generation."Bible verses:* John 10:10* Matthew 20:1-16* Isaiah 54:17* 1 John 4:4* Exodus 14:14* John 8:32* Luke 19:10* Laine's fight verse is Ephesians 3:20.Learn more about Laine ather website: lainelawsoncraft.comher Facebook page: facebook.com/momlaine.lawsoncrafther Instagram page: instagram.com/lainelawsoncraftSend me a COMMENT or QUESTION!THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Let's be honest, back-to-school can feel overwhelming. There's excitement, sure, but there's also anxiety—both for kids and for parents and caregivers. For autistic kids, who often thrive on predictability and routine, this transition can feel extra big. The good news? We can make it easier. There are small, proactive things we can do that help autistic children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.  Today, I'm sharing four strategies that I've seen work time and time again Takeaways Preparing autistic children for back-to-school with small, proactive steps can reduce anxiety and build confidence. A visual countdown calendar and practice runs make new routines feel predictable and easier to manage. Reading a social story daily helps children understand what to expect, making the first day feel familiar and safe. Personalizing social stories with school photos and teacher pictures increases comfort and understanding. Sharing a Child Interest Survey or “All About Me” sheet helps teachers connect quickly and support each child's unique needs. Knowing a child's favorite toys or interests can ease transitions and spark engagement on day one. Comfort items like a small toy, family photo, or fidget tool can provide emotional security throughout the school day. Progress, not perfection, is the goal—small, consistent steps create smoother transitions and more positive school experiences.

Send us a textThe moment I held my daughter for the first time, my heart felt like it would burst with love. That powerful experience became the catalyst for my healing journey, highlighting a painful question: why wasn't my own mother ever affectionate with me? Parenting after experiencing childhood neglect creates a complex emotional landscape where many of us find ourselves overcompensating and desperately trying to give our children everything we lacked. This affects countless parents who are working to break generational patterns while healing themselves.If you recognize yourself in this struggle, know you're not alone.

Clinical psychologist and author of the bestselling Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids, Dr. Laura Markham joins me for a rich conversation about what peaceful parenting really means — and how it can help you set firm, loving limits while staying deeply connected to your child.   Together we explore:   Why connection, not control, is the true foundation of cooperation and emotional resilience.   What setting limits with empathy looks like in real life (and why it's not the same as being permissive).   The surprising way laughter can help your child release built-up stress and unshed tears.   Practical tools to respond to big feelings like anger, sadness, and aggression — without adding more fuel to your child's fire.   Why behaviorism often oversimplifies how kids learn and grow and what advances in neuroscience reveal are how humans actually learn best.   Why the goal of parenting isn't perfectly calm, compliant kids — but helping them build the neural wiring for lifelong emotional regulation.   If you've ever felt torn between being “too strict” or “too soft,” or overwhelmed by the endless parenting advice out there, this episode will help you zoom out, get grounded, and focus on what really matters for your child — and for you.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:   https://www.peacefulparenthappykids.com/  

Coercive control doesn't end with separation—and when children are involved, the stakes are even higher. In this compelling episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, host Karen McMahon sits down with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert and passionate advocate in the field of coercive control, to explore how this invisible form of abuse continues to impact families long after the relationship ends. Together, they unpack how emotional abuse often flies under the radar, the lasting harm it causes to both parents and children, and how protective parents can navigate the ongoing manipulation with clarity, strength, and love. If you've felt trapped in a battle where your integrity and your child's well-being are constantly under attack, this conversation offers validation—and a way forward. Dr. Cocchiola shares powerful insights on how to stay emotionally grounded, respond without reactivity, and support your child's healing without gaslighting yourself or them. She explores the role trauma plays in behavioral issues and emphasizes the importance of becoming a consistent source of safety and truth in your child's life. This episode introduces a strategy to help you lead with intention: Predict what your children may have heard, Prepare your grounded response, and Protect both yourself and your child. It's not just about recognizing the harm—it's about rising to meet it. Your steady, loving presence may be the most powerful tool your child has—and the clearest reflection of your own healing and hope.

What does it take to turn life's darkest moments into stepping stones for success? In this Habits and Hustle episode, I talk with entrepreneur Michael Chernow, founder of Kreatures of Habit, to discuss how structured routines and intentional habits can transform lives.  We dive into Michael's journey from addiction to becoming a successful entrepreneur, devoted father, and advocate for healthy living. We also discuss intentional parenting, the power of morning and night routines, and the vital importance of asking for help. Michael Chernow is a transformative figure in entrepreneurship and wellness who turned his life around after battling addiction in his early years, achieving two decades of sobriety through commitment to positive habits and routines. As a restaurateur, he co-founded The Meatball Shop and founded Seamore's in New York City, scaling both concepts to six locations each, while also creating Kreatures of Habit, a lifestyle brand focused on optimized nutrition and apparel.
