Celebrating 200 episodes with one of our most important parenting conversations. You've seen the pattern: a child leaves for college… and the connection fades. Fewer calls. Fewer visits. Nothing went wrong but the closeness isn't the same.Here's what most parents miss:Connection usually isn't lost in college. It's lost when the parenting role never evolves.In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, we break down the two essential shifts that protect long-term connection with your teen and young adult. Discover the two shifts every parent must make: moving from manager to coach and learning how to handle hard conversations without losing connection. Bottom line: Your goal isn't control, it's building a relationship your child doesn't need distance from.In This Episode:Why parents often lose connection before collegeWhen to shift from manager to coachThe beliefs that keep teens coming backHow to communicate through disagreementWhat brain science says about emerging adulthoodView the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/how-to-build-a-relationship-your-child-wont-need-distance-from 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.

Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. We kick off season 5 with a check-in on the Oceanic 6. How are they doing? Not that well, as Kate has to flee from a pushy lawyer, Hurley's going viral in a compromising photo, and Ben's popping up to be menacing.Next week, we'll continue with season 5, episode 2, "The Lie." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

On this episode of the Just a Mom podcast, Dr. Hector Rodriguez, an integrative psychiatrist, discusses the complexities of mental health, particularly in teens and young adults. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the brain's function through tools like SPECT scans (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/spect-scan) and the impact of societal changes, such as the pandemic, on mental health. Dr. Rodriguez provides insights into recognizing signs of mental health issues, the role of cannabis, and the necessity of building a support network for parents. He also highlights the importance of self-care for parents to effectively support their children. https://www.doctorhector.com/

In this episode, Abby Cooper (Risely's Director of Coaching and a parent of a child with type 1 diabetes) sits down with Jessie Bennett, a mom of two in California whose 13-year-old son, Samuel, was diagnosed with T1D two years ago. Jessie opens up about what the first year really felt like: survival mode, numbness, and the constant, invisible fear of low blood sugar that can hijack your body and your mind.Together, Abby and Jessie talk about why this episode is intentionally different, because the goal is not to wait until everything feels “fixed” before you get support. Jessie shares what shifted through coaching: building a simple “order of operations” toolkit, learning to slow down the spiral, and redefining progress as being able to live even when fear still shows up.WHAT WE COVER:What the first 6 to 12 months after a child's diagnosis can feel like, and why it's normalHow fear of low blood sugar shows up physically, emotionally, and in decision-makingThe “invisible” anxiety parents carry, even when they look calm on the outsideWhy coaching is not about erasing fear, but changing how you live alongside itA practical toolkit for making decisions: insulin on board, trend, and “I have what I need to handle this”Redefining progress when you're still in the middle, without rushing yourself to a finish lineKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Fear is protective, but it comes with a cost. The goal is not to shame it away. It is to stop letting it run the whole day (or night).2️⃣ Real change comes from experience, not explanation. Tools, repetition, and safety-building moments are what rewire confidence.3️⃣ Progress you can't measure still matters. Letting your child go play at 110, trusting the plan, and staying regulated, those wins change your whole family.WHAT'S NEXT:

We'll be back tomorrow to discuss Lost.

Send a textIn this episode of Your Child Is Normal, I'm joined by pediatric physical therapist Allison Mell, founder of Tots on Target. We talk about baby motor development in a way that's both reassuring and practical — including what milestones typically look like, what matters more than the exact age, and how parents can support development at home without overthinking it (or overbuying ).We cover common reasons pediatricians refer to PT — like torticollis and head preference, tummy time struggles, late crawling, and toe walking — and Allison explains what's normal, what deserves attention, and what a pediatric PT actually does to help. We also clear up myths (including the idea that late crawling causes ADHD or autism), talk safety around walkers, and share simple, low-tech strategies that can make a real difference.If you've ever wondered, “Is this normal… and what should I do next?” this conversation will give you practical guidance on what to look for, and ideas for what you can do at home to help support your child.Show notes:Milestone ranges (& why steady progress matters more than “deadlines”)Simple ways to support motor development at home (hint: floor time beats most gear)Walkers: the important safety distinction (sit-in vs push walkers)Torticollis: what it is, what parents can look for, and why early help mattersTummy time: what “counts,”  and when to pause (reflux/pain)Late crawling: myths vs what we actually worry about Toe walking: tight muscles vs sensory seeking, and practical home ideasLightning round: shoes vs barefoot, favorite low-tech movement toys, and a message for anxious parentsTots on Target website: totsontarget.com03:24 Milestone Timelines: Rolling, Sitting, Crawling, Walking05:41 Simple At-Home Setup: Floor Time, Fewer Gadgets, Better Toys08:46 Walkers Explained11:04 Torticollis18:30 Tummy 21:53 Late Crawlers: Debunking Myths + Why Crawling Matters29:03 Toe Walking 31:56 Lightning Round: Walking Myths, Barefoot vs Shoes, Best New-Walker FootwearYour Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids.

In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara tackle one of the most emotionally loaded parenting questions: When should you push your child to persevere and when is it healthier to back off? Parents often worry that letting kids quit will undermine grit, confidence, or future success. But pushing too hard can erode trust, increase anxiety, and disconnect kids from their own sense of agency. So how do you know the difference? This episode breaks down the brain science behind perseverance, the role of emotional safety in growth, and how to support kids through challenge without breaking their spirit. You'll learn how to recognize when struggle is productive, when stress has tipped into overwhelm, and how thoughtful backing off can actually increase long-term resilience. If you've ever wondered whether you're building perseverance—or protecting your own anxiety—this conversation will help you find the middle ground. In this episode, we discuss:The difference between perseverance and endurance at all costsHow brain development impacts persistenceSigns pushing is helpful vs harmfulWhy trust and regulation come before growth View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/when-to-push-and-when-to-back-off-how-to-build-perseverance-without-breaking-your-childs-spirit 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.

Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In the final two hours of season 4, the Oceanic Six finally, officially, leave the island. The island also leaves its former location, and Ben beats it, too, leaving Locke in charge. But we also know that that won't last forever. So, a lot to come in seasons 5 and 6. Next week, we'll continue with season 5, episode 1, "Because You Left." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

On this episode of The Just Mom Podcast, Ryan Bevins and JP Claxton dive into their organization called Fight Club (https://fightclub-us.com/), a movement created to give teens—especially young men—a safe place to talk about what they're really feeling.Fight Club was born from a simple but urgent realization: kids are struggling, and many don't know how to talk about it. What started as a response to that need has grown into something extraordinary. Ryan and JP share how Fight Club addresses the very real mental and spiritual battles kids face today. Through trust-building, peer-led conversations (with no adults in the room during sharing), these groups go deep—creating space for honesty, vulnerability, and growth.Fight Club is shifting the paradigm for young men, helping them learn how to name and express their emotions—often for the first time. Now with 29 groups and growing, the impact is undeniable. Some members have even taken the initiative to start Fight Club groups on their college campuses, carrying the mission forward.Ryan and JP also open up about their own journeys in learning how to talk about their feelings and share powerful stories that highlight just how life-changing Fight Club has been. Additionally, Fight Club for girls has launched, led by Ryan's wife.  Fight Club also has a new partnership with Kids TLC (https://www.kidstlc.org/), an inpatient mental health facility. This partnership brings Fight Club into a preventive care space, supported by two licensed therapists who attend Fight Club meetings.This conversation is hopeful, honest, and deeply needed—for parents, mentors, and anyone who cares about the next generation. IG: @fightclub_us  FB: Fight Club

Our hearts tell us we want to be outside, that we were created for nature…when it's warm and beautiful and sunny!I don't know about you, but I do find that when it's cold, rainy, snowing, or blowing, I tend to be grateful for my 4 walls, central heat, and mug of tea indoors.How can we change this paradigm in ourselves and in our culture where the outdoors is becoming less and less popular all the time?It doesn't happen by accident. To be intentional about outdoor and nature time, we have to be inspired. My guests today are the co-authors of a wonderful book about getting outdoors, Digging Into Nature: Outdoor Adventures for Happier and Healthier Kids, and they share research and physiology to remind us: Our kids need time outside.

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!

This episode of Art of Raising Humans features a powerful conversation with Kirk Martin and his son Casey Martin on modern fatherhood, emotional safety, and trust. Kirk shares his journey from reactive parenting to connection-based leadership, while Casey reflects on what it was like to experience that change as a child. Together, they explore how kids test consistency before they trust it, why emotional vulnerability in dads matters, and how real connection is built over time—not in perfect moments. This episode is especially meaningful for dads who want deeper relationships with their kids and for parents learning that growth, repair, and trust happen slowly—and relationally. In this episode, we discuss:Emotional vulnerability and strength in fatherhoodHow children respond when parents begin to changeWhy trust is built through consistency, not wordsThe impact of ADHD on parenting and connectionWhat kids can teach parents when we're willing to listen View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/kirk-casey-martin-how-dads-build-trust-emotional-safety-and-real-connection-with-their-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.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones speaks to parents who feel caught off guard when conversations with their daughters suddenly feel awkward, strained, or uncomfortable.Melissa normalizes these moments as a natural part of growth—especially during transitions when daughters are figuring out who they are and how much independence they want. She reassures parents that awkward conversations aren't a sign of failure or disconnection, but a recalibration of communication as the relationship evolves. Rather than pulling away or overcorrecting, Melissa encourages parents to stay steady, present, and emotionally available, even when it feels hard.Through grounded perspective and gentle encouragement, Melissa reminds listeners that trust isn't built in one perfect conversation, but over time through consistency, patience, and connection.Tune in to discover:Why awkward conversations are a normal part of developmentWhat these moments really say about your relationship with your daughterHow staying calm and present builds long-term trustWhy discomfort doesn't mean you're doing it wrongHow consistency matters more than saying the “right” thingThis episode is a reassuring reminder that growth can feel uncomfortable for everyone—and that showing up with steadiness and care is often exactly what your daughter needs most.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

I couldn't stop thinking about this interview with Jessica Joelle Alexander – and honestly, I haven't stopped since! As a mom and as someone who teaches kids to cook and helps families connect around the table, I was deeply struck by how peacefully and intentionally Danish families seem to live: more play, less pressure; more “we,” less “me.”In this episode of the podcast, I'm talking with Jessica Joelle Alexander, author of The Danish Way of Parenting and The Danish Way Every Day. This is part two of our conversation, and we're digging into:what hygge really is beyond candles and cozy blanketshow Danish families use mealtimes and simple food to build connection instead of conflictwhy involving kids in cooking and chores from toddlerhood can actually feel like playthe powerful idea of equal dignity and seeing our kids as true members of the family teamhow all of this helps children “rest well within themselves” and grow a deep, quiet sense of contentmentIf you've ever felt torn between giving your kids a “real childhood” and preparing them for success, or if you're tired of power struggles around food, chores, and screens, this conversation will feel like a big exhale. Jessica offers such a hopeful, practical picture of family life that isn't about striving and measuring, but about raising kids who genuinely feel at home in themselves.Let's dive into part two!Resources We Mention for Danish ParentingJessica's books: The Danish Way of Parenting (Amazon/Bookshop.org) and The Danish Way Every Day (Amazon/Bookshop.org)Building Strong Families, Connected Kids with Father Leo of Plating Gracemy No More Picky Eating Challenge3 Reasons Giving Your Kids Responsibilities Is a GiftHow to Raise Siblings Who Love Each OtherFind Jessica at her website Jessica Joelle Alexander or follow her on social: Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTubeGrab the four free life skills workshops right here.

Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode kicks off the three-part season finale. The Oceanic Six are scattered from beach to jungle to freighter, with a very quiet baby in tow. However will they manage to get off the island?Next week, we'll endeavor to find out in season 4, episodes 13 and 14, "There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 and 3." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

On this episode of the Just A Mom podcast, Jeanette Yoffe, a psychotherapist and advocate for children in foster care and adoption, shares her personal journey of spending six and a half years in foster care. Jeanette details the challenges she faced, including trauma, mental health struggles, and the impact of these experiences. She emphasizes the importance of understanding trauma, the healing power of creative expression, and the need for compassion towards birth parents. Jeanette also discusses her reunion with her birth family and the complexities of those relationships, offering insights into the healing process for both individuals and families. Jeanette offers a myriad of resources listed below, including a YouTube channel with many free videos.Jeanette's books:https://a.co/d/0c2objjxhttps://a.co/d/05gu8QMYhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B149JLWY?ref_=saga_ast_ss_dsk_sdpYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Jeanette-icallySpeakingNon-profit: https://celiacenter.org/Website: http://www.jeanetteyoffe.com/

Each Tuesday (formerly Wednesdays, but we've made a shift), we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, we're happy to be back with our friends from Shrinking. They're facing both new and evolving issues: an emptying nest, a refilling nest, a difficult diagnosis, and more. But they're doing it together.Next week, we'll continue with Shrinking S3 E2, "Happiness Mission." We'll be back tomorrow to discuss Lost.

In America, we tend to raise kids with a constant sense of striving. We measure success early, track milestones closely, and quietly worry about whether our children are doing enough, fast enough, and well enough.The Danish approach offers a striking contrast. Instead of pushing children to prove themselves, Danish parenting emphasizes something far more grounded: helping kids rest well within themselves.In this episode of the Healthy Parenting Handbook, I talk with Jessica Joelle Alexander about what that actually looks like in real life. We explore:why Danish children are often described as calm and serenehow play is treated as essential rather than optionaland why connection and trust matter more than control, especially in the digital age.This conversation is settling, perspective-shifting, and deeply reassuring for parents who feel the pressure to constantly measure and manage their kids' development! I couldn't stop talking with Jessica, so stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview. Resources We Mention for Danish ParentingJessica's books: The Danish Way of Parenting (Amazon/Bookshop.org) and The Danish Way Every Day (Amazon/Bookshop.org)3 Ways Parents Can Help Prevent Depression in Their KidsNurturing Young Skeptics: Essential Guide to Teaching Critical Thinking to Kids and Teens with Kathy GibbensMy TEDx talk on building critical thinking skills in kidsCheck out the Raising Digital Citizens conversation cards hereFind Jessica at her website Jessica Joelle Alexander or follow her on social: Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTubeGrab the four free life skills workshops right here.

As parents, we often believe we know why our kids behave the way they do.We assume intentions, assign meaning to their actions, and respond from that story, often when we are stressed, tired, or triggered. But what if those assumptions are wrong? In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, we explore one of the most common and overlooked parenting mistakes, mind reading our children. This happens when we assume we know their motives without actually checking. We unpack why the parent brain does this under stress, what brain science and child development tell us about behavior, and how these assumptions quietly erode connection, trust, and cooperation, especially with tweens and teens. In this episode, you will learn:• Why the human brain jumps to negative interpretations under stress• How nervous system dysregulation leads parents to misread behavior• Why kids often cannot articulate their own motives and what that means for discipline• How curiosity builds safety, honesty, and long term behavior change• What it looks like to assume the best without losing boundaries• Practical ways to pause assumptions and respond with clarity and connection This episode is for parents who want to move beyond control, power struggles, and miscommunication and toward deeper understanding, cooperation, and trust.You do not need to read your child's mind. You need to make space for their voice. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/why-parents-misread-their-kids-behavior-and-how-brain-science-changes-the-way-you-respond Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com Video Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans Podcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.com Book 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.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. What made Locke the way he is, you ask?

Parents are often told to “forgive yourself” or “you're doing great.” While well intentioned, that message often falls flat for parents who are thoughtful, reflective, and deeply invested in their growth. In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, we explore why self-forgiveness is most effective when it comes after responsibility, reflection, and repair. We explain the brain science behind shame, learning, and nervous system regulation, and why skipping reflection can keep parents stuck in cycles of guilt rather than growth. You'll learn how shame activates the brain's threat system, why responsibility is different from self-criticism, and what actually allows parents to change patterns without burning out. We also share a practical framework for reflection, repair, and growth that makes self-compassion feel earned rather than hollow. This episode is for parents who care deeply, are unlearning inherited patterns, and want to keep growing without shame driving their parenting. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/forgive-yourself-and-keep-growing-why-self-compassion-only-works-after-responsibility Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com Video Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans Podcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.com Book 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.

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most requested questions: Can chiropractic care help with OCD? He explains how OCD is rooted in a nervous system stuck in 24/7 fight-or-flight mode and breaks down the neuroscience behind it—including the roles of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and vagus nerve. Dr. Tony reveals why traditional approaches often miss the mark and how neurologically-focused chiropractic care works from the inside out to calm an overactive nervous system and create a stronger foundation for healing. This episode offers real, drug-free hope to families struggling with OCD and anxiety.-----Links & ResourcesResearch shows kids with OCD and anxiety often have altered prefrontal cortex activity, affecting focus, emotional control, and behavior.
