Before we can negotiate with others, we must first learn to negotiate with ourselves — to balance our inner voices, our fears, and our dreams. Imagine if children were taught early on to recognize their emotions, to pause before reacting, and to choose compassion over self-criticism. How different might their futures be? In a world that often rushes them to grow up too fast, teaching children to understand and value themselves may be one of the most powerful life lessons we can offer. In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with the inspiring Armida Espinoza to explore “Teaching Our Children To Negotiate With Themselves.” Armida, a first-generation Mexican American and retired bilingual teacher, has dedicated her life to empowering young minds. As an author and advocate for children's emotional and cognitive development, she brings a powerful message about nurturing self-awareness, confidence, and inner dialogue from an early age. Through her work, Armida encourages children to find their voice, recognize their worth, and understand that no matter their age, they have the power to make a meaningful impact in the world. This conversation with Armida Espinoza reminds us that self-negotiation isn't just a skill — it's a foundation for resilience, empathy, and authentic confidence. In this episode, you will learn: Why it's critical to start learning at a very young age. How can parents or educators support kids in developing their skills? How does the book help children negotiate with fears and uncertainties when they are faced with unfamiliar experiences or environments to learn new things. How can hope be a part of a child's internal negotiation process. How to recognize which voice to listen to. How to negotiate your own inner critic. And many more!

When parenting teenagers becomes a battleground between parents, everyone suffers—including your teen. Dr. Cam and couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish tackle the common problem of parental division, where one parent becomes the “tough one” while the other takes on the “soft” role, creating conflict that teens often exploit. This episode reveals why parents frequently end up on opposite sides of the parenting spectrum, especially during the teenage years when stakes feel higher and emotions run deeper. The experts explain how family triangulation occurs—when relationship tension between parents gets redirected toward the teenager, creating dysfunction for everyone involved. Key insights include understanding that both parents typically share the same core values and goals for their children, even when their approaches differ dramatically. The solution isn't forcing identical parenting styles, but rather establishing shared values while allowing different expressions of those values. Dr. Tracy emphasizes the critical importance of relationship repair—acknowledging mistakes and their impact—as a foundational skill for both marriage and parenting. Parents learn practical strategies for supporting each other even during disagreements, including validation techniques and behind-the-scenes communication that maintain unity. The discussion addresses common challenges like shame spirals, resentment over unequal parenting burdens, and interference from extended family members. Most importantly, parents discover that focusing on their own relationship with their teen—rather than trying to control their partner's approach—creates more positive outcomes for everyone involved.

Over the years, psychologists and researchers have identified four primary parenting styles, each characterized by different levels of warmth, control, and communication. Understanding these styles can help parents recognize the potential outcomes of their approaches and make more informed decisions about how they raise their children. See this article. The four main parenting styles are:Authoritarian ParentingAuthoritative ParentingPermissive ParentingUninvolved ParentingEach of these styles affects children differently, influencing their emotional, social, and cognitive development.1. Authoritarian ParentingAuthoritarian parents are often seen as strict, controlling, and demanding. They set high expectations for their children, emphasizing obedience and discipline above all else. Communication tends to be one-sided, with little room for dialogue or flexibility. Rules are enforced with little explanation, and punishment is used as a means to maintain control.Key Characteristics:High demands and expectationsLow responsiveness to the child's emotional needsEmphasis on obedience and disciplineLimited communication and explanation of rulesEffects on Children: Children raised by authoritarian parents often develop a strong sense of discipline and respect for authority but may also struggle with self-esteem and decision-making. They may become either overly submissive or rebellious, depending on their temperament. Social skills can be underdeveloped, as they may not feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings openly.Biblical Response: Authoritarian parenting emphasizes strict rules and discipline, often with little room for discussion. While discipline is important, Scripture also encourages understanding and wisdom in its application.Ephesians 6:4 – "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."Colossians 3:21 – "Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged."2. Authoritative ParentingAuthoritative parenting is widely regarded as the...
Max and Matt dive into the messy middle ground of parenting as a team, when to be a united front, and when it's okay (even good) to be different. Sparked by a spicy Instagram post, they unpack what happens when one parent loosens the rules while the other holds the line, and why those differences might actually teach kids resilience. From solo weekends with the kids, to pizza dinners and Dave & Buster's meltdowns, to the hidden pressures moms and dads face when parenting alone, they bring stories, studies, and plenty of laughs. They also break down research on authoritative vs. authoritarian parenting, how consistency shapes kids' brains, and why the most important thing might just be that your child goes to bed knowing they're loved.

THIS IS A GOOD ONE Y'ALL. It probably goes without saying that no two parents parent the same, and maybe they shouldn't, but at the end of the day, it's still hard. Especially when your kid COMPLETELY disregards your discipline, but when threatened with the thought of your husband or wife getting involved, flips like a pancake.

In this insightful and candid conversation, Shellee Howard and Laura Ollinger delve into the complexities of supporting teenagers and parents through the challenges of adolescence, particularly as it relates to mental health, identity, communication, and preparing for college. Laura, a certified teen and parent well-being coach and mother of four teens, combines life coaching and health coaching to help families thrive by building resilience and tackling obstacles. Drawing on personal tragedy, professional training, and real-life experience, Laura emphasizes the importance of proactive coaching versus reactive therapy, fostering healthy parent-teen communication, guiding teens in self-discovery, and managing the impact of social media. The discussion also highlights the balance parents must strike between setting boundaries and nurturing independence, the value of allowing teens to fail safely to build confidence, and practical strategies for families to establish healthy technology habits. Laura provides actionable tools, such as character strength assessments and values identification, to help teens articulate their identity—a crucial step in the college application process. The conversation encourages parents to engage with their teens compassionately and proactively and offers hope and resources for navigating this pivotal stage successfully. Highlights Laura Ollinger blends life and health coaching to support teens and parents in building resilience and overcoming challenges.Coaching differs from therapy by being proactive and goal-oriented rather than reactive to crises.Effective parent-teen communication involves finding a balance between warmth and boundaries, ideally through an authoritative parenting style.Allowing teens to fail safely is essential for developing confidence, calmness, and resilience.Social media's impact on teens can be managed through balanced, collaborative family agreements rather than strict bans.Tools like the VIA Character Strengths assessment help teens discover their core strengths and values, aiding self-identity and college essay development.Positive psychology and NLP techniques empower teens to leverage their strengths in pursuit of their goals. Key Insights The Proactive Power of Coaching Versus Therapy: Laura clarifies that therapy is often reactive, addressing significant mental health crises, while coaching is proactive, helping teens set and achieve goals before problems escalate. This distinction empowers families to seek help early, preventing more serious issues and fostering growth rather than just coping. Coaching's focus on strengths and accountability helps teens develop self-management skills essential for college and adult life. Parenting Styles and Communication Dynamics: The discussion around parenting styles—helicopter, avoidant, authoritarian, and authoritative—illuminates how different approaches affect teen development. Laura advocates for the authoritative style, balancing high warmth with clear boundaries. This style fosters autonomy and resilience in teens, but requires parents to self-reflect on their inherited patterns and consciously choose how to support their children's independence while maintaining connection. The Importance of Allowing Failure: Laura stresses that failure is not just inevitable but necessary for teens to build resilience and self-confidence. Parents' natural instinct to protect can unintentionally hinder growth. Embracing “failing forward” teaches teens that setbacks are opportunities for learning and personal development, which directly correlates with their ability to handle college pressures and life's uncertainties. Identity Formation as a Foundation for College Readiness: Helping teens articulate their identity beyond surface facts is critical for college admissions essays and self-understanding. Laura's recommendation to use tools like the VIA Character Strengths assessment and values card sort helps teens uncover their core traits and motivations. This process assists teens in finding authentic passions and goals, reducing anxiety over choosing a college major prematurely and promoting confidence in their own path. Navigating Social Media with Nuance and Empathy: Social media is a double-edged sword, offering connection but also risks such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and distraction. Laura advises against extremes of outright bans or laissez-faire attitudes. Instead, she promotes family conversations that establish mutual understanding and compromise, acknowledging teens' need for social interaction while monitoring harmful content. Integrating social media use into positive family activities models balanced technology habits. Using Strengths-Based, Positive Psychology Approaches: Laura's coaching leverages positive psychology and NLP to focus on what is right with teens rather than what is wrong. This strengths-based approach enables teens to creatively engage with their challenges, tailoring solutions that resonate with their unique personalities. For example, a teen with a comedic strength might use humor as a motivational tool in academic preparation, making goal achievement more accessible and enjoyable. The Role of the Coach as a Neutral Facilitator in Family Dynamics: Laura's role often includes acting as an impartial interpreter between parents and teens, helping both sides understand each other's perspectives and break down communication barriers. This neutral space fosters healthier conversations about difficult topics like college choices and mental health. It also allows parents to recognize and adjust their own patterns, opening up space for teens to explore their identity and autonomy within family values. Expanded Analysis Laura Ollinger's approach offers a comprehensive framework for parents navigating the often turbulent teen years. Her dual certification in life and health coaching uniquely positions her to address both psychological and physical well-being, underscoring the interconnectedness of mental health, lifestyle habits, and family dynamics. The personal story she shares about her nephew's suicide and her daughter's anxiety during COVID-19 underlines the urgency of her mission and adds a deeply empathetic dimension to her work. This transparency helps parents feel seen and understood, reducing stigma around seeking help.A particularly valuable part of the conversation is the differentiation between coaching and therapy. Many parents hesitate to seek mental health support due to stigma or misunderstanding. Laura's explanation that coaching can be preventative and goal-focused reassures parents that support isn't only for crisis situations but can be a resource for everyday growth. Her emphasis on helping teens develop self-accountability reinforces long-term success, encouraging parents to step back and allow teens to own their progress.The discussion on parenting styles provides a practical guide for self-reflection. Parents often unconsciously repeat patterns from their own upbringing, sometimes swinging to extremes in reaction. Laura's description of the authoritative style as the ideal balance of warmth and structure is backed by research and resonates with many parents seeking practical advice. The challenge, as she notes, is that this style requires ongoing adjustment and emotional labor, especially when parents must watch their children struggle without intervening prematurely.Allowing teens to fail safely is another crucial insight. In a culture that increasingly emphasizes perfectionism and achievement, parents can unintentionally shield teens from necessary challenges, stunting emotional growth. Laura's concept of “failing forward” aligns with resilience-building research, encouraging parents to reframe failure as a valued learning experience. This mindset helps teens build the confidence and calmness they seek, which are essential qualities for the transition to college and adulthood.Identity exploration is framed as the bedrock of college readiness. Rather than focusing solely on grades or extracurriculars, Laura highlights the importance of self-knowledge, which informs authentic college essays and meaningful career choices. The VIA Character Strengths tool and values card sort are practical, research-supported methods that parents can use at home to facilitate this process. This approach also alleviates pressure on teens to prematurely commit to a major, offering a more flexible and less anxiety-provoking path.The conversation around social media is timely and nuanced. Parents face a polarized discourse about technology use, often swinging between strict bans and permissiveness. Laura's advocacy for a middle ground, rooted in family values and mutual respect, is a refreshing strategy. Encouraging teens to have input and engaging in joint activities that incorporate technology helps maintain connection, reduces rebellion, and fosters healthy habits. Her role as a consciously digital well-being coach adds credibility and relevance to her advice.Finally, Laura's integration of positive psychology and NLP techniques as coaching tools demonstrates a modern, evidence-based approach that shifts the focus from pathology to potential. This empowers teens to actively participate in their growth, using their unique strengths to overcome obstacles creatively. It also helps parents see their children's capabilities rather than just their struggles.Overall, this conversation is a rich resource for parents wanting to better understand and support their teenagers through the often overwhelming journey of adolescence and college preparation. It offers hope, practical tools, and a compassionate perspective that respects both teen autonomy and family values. Conclusion Shellee Howard's interview with Laura Ollinger provides an invaluable, multi-dimensional perspective on teen and parent well-being, emphasizing resilience, communication, identity, and balanced technology use. Laura's blend of personal experience and professional expertise offers parents practical strategies to support their teens proactively, fostering growth rather than merely managing crises. Through coaching grounded in positive psychology and empathetic facilitation, families can navigate the challenges of adolescence with greater confidence and connection—ultimately helping teens become ready not just for college, but for life. For parents seeking guidance, Laura's website positivelyhealthycoaching.com offers free consultations and access to her coaching resources, providing a meaningful next step toward cultivating a thriving family dynamic.

About the Guest: Suzanne Stabile is an esteemed Enneagram teacher and author, widely recognized as an Enneagram master teacher and known as the Enneagram Godmother. With over 35 years of experience studying the Enneagram, Suzanne has authored several influential books including "The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery," "The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships," and "Journey Toward Wholeness." She is also the host of the acclaimed podcast, "The Enneagram Journey." Suzanne's work focuses on helping individuals discover personal growth and improve their relationships through a profound understanding of the Enneagram. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of Life After Kids, Drs. Brooke and Lynne sit down with Enneagram master teacher Suzanne Stabile to explore the intricate world of the Enneagram and its profound impact on midlife women and mothers dealing with the empty nest transition. A specialist in personality typology, Suzanne offers her vast wisdom and experience to help the audience understand their behavioral motivations, offering insights into each Enneagram type and how they shape a woman's journey into midlife. The rich discussion encompasses how understanding one's own Enneagram type can foster better self-awareness, deepen familial relationships, and guide mothers into a purposeful, fulfilling second chapter of life. Throughout the conversation, Suzanne delves into the distinct motivations and challenges faced by each Enneagram type, especially in the context of motherhood and self-discovery. Drawing on her extensive research, she details practical ways to identify and work with emotional defaults such as shame, fear, and anger. Suzanne expertly illustrates how these core emotions influence behavior and how tapping into Enneagram wisdom can transform self-awareness into a tool for growth, allowing women to embrace new roles and find relevance beyond parenting. The episode concludes with Suzanne sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice for women aiming to build stronger connections with themselves and their adult children. Key Takeaways: The Enneagram determines personality by motivation, not behavior, and understanding this can help women navigate midlife transitions and parenting adult children. Recognizing your dominant Enneagram number can enhance both personal growth and parenting strategies, allowing a nuanced understanding of family dynamics. Connecting with women from different generations extends perspective and wisdom, equipping mothers to better handle transitions in their lives and relationships. Embracing the idea of life phases as a 'second third' instead of a beginning of the end can reframe a midlife transition positively and hopefully. The Enneagram provides a framework to address the default emotions of shame, fear, and anger, supporting emotional balance and healthier relationships.

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?

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself? Do I give my children room to make decisions and mistakes, or do I try to control outcomes too tightly? How often am I sitting down with my kids and really listening to their perspective instead of just telling them what to do? Am I open about my struggles as a parent and willing to admit when I don't have all the answers? Navigating the relationship between father and son is never straightforward, especially as your child grows into a young adult. On this episode of The Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner welcomes his son Ethan for a candid discussion about the so-called "friendship gap"—that elusive space between being too much of a friend and not enough of a parent. Larry and Ethan get real about their own family dynamics, sharing personal stories of where things clicked—and where they missed the mark. From lecture-based parenting in elementary school to establishing new routines as Ethan enters adulthood, they explore the effects of too much leniency or authority, and the importance of clear communication, shared expectations, and accountability. Whether you're raising toddlers or about to launch your kids into the world, this episode is packed with relatable, actionable insights on fostering a deeper father-child bond—while still preparing your kids for the real world. Stick around for honest reflections, a few laughs, and tips that will help any dad walk the fine line between being a guide, a leader… and a friend. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Balance Structure and Connection: Avoid leaning too hard into “just being friends” or being purely authoritarian. Kids crave both boundaries and genuine connection. Use Storytelling and Curiosity: When tough conversations arise, share your personal stories and ask thoughtful questions to guide your child's own critical thinking—instead of falling into lecture mode. Create a Supportive Environment: Physical order (like a clean room or set routines) supports mental clarity and well-being; maintain structure even during transitions to help kids thrive. This episode is packed with relatable, actionable insights on fostering a deeper father-child bond—while still preparing your kids for the real world. Here's what research and observation highlight about family emotional connection: children who reported having both warmth and structure from their fathers had a 30% higher chance of reporting positive life satisfaction and emotional regulation in adulthood compared to those who experienced only discipline or only friendship. Studies show that 67% of adolescents report they “completely tune out” or “stop listening” during long lectures from parents, favoring concise, two-way conversations instead. Studies show that 70% of young adults feel unprepared for the practical aspects of adulthood, while 59% of parents report feeling “uncertain” about how to best guide their children through these years 1stphorm.com/dadedge thedadedge.com/alliance https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKmhchXA95H/?igsh=bHcybXFlNHFwYmhl

In this quick solo episode, I'm talking about a newsletter I wrote on Substack about reaction types. There are many different ways parents can react when their child becomes dysregulated, pushes against a boundary they have set, or throws a tantrum. Many of these reactions are rooted in the ways we were raised by our parents or the experiences we had as we grew up. Today, I'm going to talk about the three reaction types I encounter most frequently during my coaching with parents and working with families, and I'll also provide a bonus reaction type at the end of the episode.1. Hyper-Reactor or the Punisher The parent who will go from zero to 100 instantly and doesn't have the tools to regulate themselves.They feel discomfort because of their child's reaction to something they don't like. This may be rooted in an association from their own childhood, where they didn't feel safe expressing their own emotions. Sometimes this can feel like the child is being disrespectful to the parent. 2. Panicked ParentThe parent who knows to control their big emotions around their child who is struggling but they are terribly uncomfortable with the situation.This parent over explains the boundary or tries to justify the decision or offer other choices to make the situation better.This isn't perceived as a good thing by the dysregulated child, it just feels like more input and they cannot tolerate it. 3. The AdjustorThe parent who is an overthinker and is second guessing their boundaries all the time.When they go to hold a boundary and their child pushes back against it, they make adjustments to their boundary to avoid or stop dysregulation. This is a band aid approach to parenting because it doesn't teach kids how to tolerate frustration. Bonus Type: Avoidant ParentThe parent who doesn't have a hard time staying calm, but struggles so much to set a boundary, and avoids it at all costs. They are eggshell parenting and have crafted a perfect environment so their kids don't have to experience any sort of hardship. Avoidant parents shut down when their kids become dysregulated.Resources: Substack newsletter - Beyond ‘Good' or ‘Bad': The 3 Parental Reaction Blueprints: https://albiona.substack.com/p/beyond-good-or-bad-the-3-parentalPARR Workshop: https://stan.store/theparentingreframe/parrworkshopBe sure to sign up for my Substack newsletter for longer and more specialized parenting content: https://albiona.substack.com/ I hope you found this episode helpful; for more parenting tips, check out my website and blog for more information. https://theparentingreframe.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparentingreframe/Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentingreframe

Reminiscing about almost meeting the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger, we share tales of navigating European Sundays and humorous language barriers.

The way we parent isn't just shaped by psychology—it's deeply influenced by culture, shaping how our children experience love, discipline, and security in ways we may not even realize. Joining me to unpack this is clinical psychologist Dr. Miguelina German. In this episode we explore: - Two overarching parenting frameworks, Attachment Theory and Baumrind Parenting Practices, and how understanding the nuances of each can help us in our parenting approach. - The importance of “warmth” in parenting and what the research reveals of the positive correlation between our child's perception of high warmth with positive outcomes. - How generational trauma, values, and cultural norms can inform differences in parenting strategies and styles. - The impact of being separated from a caregiver as a young child and the attachment rupture that can occur during critical developmental times. - How to repair a relationship that has undergone an attachment rupture. Parenting is not one-size-fits-all. By understanding the interplay between attachment, cultural influences, and parenting styles, we can create stronger, more secure connections with our children.
