Podcasts about parenting strategies

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.

In this conversation, Phil and Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg discuss the concept of Lighthouse Parenting, a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of being a stable and guiding presence in a child's life. Dr. Ginsburg explains how this approach balances love and protection while allowing children to take healthy risks. They explore the role of adults in modeling behavior, the impact of stress and anxiety on children, and the challenges posed by technology and social media. The discussion highlights the need for emotional vulnerability in adults and the importance of fostering interdependence in future generations.   Lighthouse Parenting is about balancing love and protection. Role modeling is crucial for children to take healthy risks. Children need stable relationships to thrive emotionally. Stress is a significant factor in unhealthy risk-taking. Preparation is a form of protection for children. Overprotection can lead to anxiety in children. Social media has both positive and negative impacts on youth. Emotional vulnerability in adults fosters connection with children. Teaching basic human connection is essential before introducing technology. Interdependence is key to raising secure and confident children.

In this snack-sized episode, I share three concepts to help parents navigate the stormy waters of having a teen or young adult child who struggles with substance misuse and mental health issues. I emphasize the importance of self-care and separation from external chaos to maintain emotional stability and effectively support (and not drive crazy) those closest to you. I share three key points: visualizing personal boundaries to keep chaos out, understanding that every storm will eventually pass, and recognizing the harm caused by neglecting self-care. There's even a little bit of woo-woo included for those willing to experiment.Some practical tips and a personal story underscore the necessity of prioritizing your well-being for the benefit of your entire family.00:00 Introduction: Weathering the Storm00:39 Welcome to Hope Stream02:14 Taking Care of Yourself03:07 Maintaining Your Vessel's Integrity06:38 Every Storm Runs Out of Rain14:44 The Greatest Harm: Not Taking Care of Yourself17:52 Conclusion and ResourcesThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In today's episode, I'll be discussing Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) with Dr. Taylor Day.  The conversation explores the drive for autonomy in children with PDA, the impact of the fight or flight response, and effective strategies for supporting these children in educational and home settings. Dr. Tay advocates for a nuanced approach to parenting and teaching that respects children's autonomy while maintaining necessary boundaries. Buckle up, because you are going to learn so much today!   Bio: Dr. Taylor Day is a licensed psychologist specializing in neuroaffirming care for autistic children and their families, including very early diagnosis and early intervention. She has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and is the CEO and founder of Dr. Tay Concierge Clinical Care.  Her practice integrates The Whole Family Approach, a process she created utilizing evidence-informed principles after seeing a gap in autism care. Her passion for child psychology and her focus on autism is in many ways tied to her own personal experience growing up with a brother who was diagnosed at 23 months of age.  Links: Dr. Tay's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.dr.tay/ Dr. Tay's Website: https://drtaylorday.com Evolve Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/evolve-with-dr-tay-the-podcast-for-parents-of-autistic-kids/id1659784037  Takeaways  ●      PDA is not a well-defined diagnosis but a theorized profile of autism. ●      Understanding the nervous system's response is crucial in addressing PDA behaviors. ●      Children with PDA often seek autonomy and challenge authority. ●      Traditional parenting models may not work for children with PDA. ●      Collecting data on behaviors helps identify effective interventions. ●      Low demand approaches can be beneficial but must be balanced with boundaries. ●      Collaboration among adults is key to supporting children with PDA. ●      Recognizing the human behind the behavior fosters better relationships. ●      Teaching skills for autonomy is essential for long-term success. ●      Empowering children with choices enhances their learning experience. ●      Focusing on mastery over repetition can reduce stress for students. ●      Parents' insights about their children should be valued and respected. ●      The educational system needs to adapt to individual needs rather than enforcing rigid rules. ●      Connection and trust are fundamental in supporting children with challenging behaviors.

Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with Scott Zemens who epitomizes the power of personal transformation within family life and fatherhood. He's a dedicated business owner who, not long ago, found himself struggling to find balance in his life—feeling distant from his family and yearning for deeper connections with his kids. When he joined the Dad Edge Alliance, he made a bold commitment to step up, starting with daily, meaningful conversations with his children—asking open-ended questions to truly understand their world. On top of that, he made a life-changing decision to give up alcohol for a year, a move that radically reshaped his mindset, relationships, and energy as a father. The results have been extraordinary. His wife has expressed how much she loves the father he's become, especially his leadership in the home after the arrival of their baby last October. His kids now have a dad who listens more, talks less, and focuses on creating memories that will last a lifetime. Today, we'll dive into his journey—what inspired these changes, the lessons he's learned, and the advice he'd give to his pre-Alliance self about stepping into the kind of father, husband, and leader his family deserves. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance
