Process of raising a child

As part of The Lo Life's Level Up Series, Lo explores the skills that can help you thrive personally and professionally—and few are more misunderstood than charisma. This week, Lo sits down with internationally renowned charisma expert and New York Times bestselling author Olivia Fox Cabane, whose groundbreaking research has helped reshape the way leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday people think about influence, connection, and presence. Drawing on decades of work at institutions including Stanford and MIT, and coaching leaders at Google, Apple, Airbnb, TikTok, Deloitte, and UBS, Olivia has become one of the world's leading voices on the science of charisma. Her own journey—from describing herself as introverted, socially awkward and autistic to becoming a globally recognized expert on human connection—makes her perspective all the more compelling.In this conversation, Lo and Olivia unpack why charisma isn't an innate gift but a learnable skill rooted in psychology and behavioral science. They explore how charisma influences leadership, careers, relationships, interviews, and everyday interactions, while examining how the rules have evolved in an era where our digital presence can be just as important as the person we are face-to-face. They also discuss why introverts can be deeply charismatic, the historical misconceptions surrounding charisma, and how these skills can be used to build trust, inspire others, and shape the next generation. Whether you're looking to become a stronger communicator, a more confident leader, or simply a more authentic version of yourself, this episode offers practical insights into a skill that can transform every area of life.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever felt the urge to yell or hand out a punishment during a chaotic grocery store meltdown? It is a moment meant to stop the behavior fast, but what if it is actually turning off the exact part of your child's brain that learns lessons? In this episode, I sit down with parenting author John Fogel to dismantle the massive misconceptions around discipline and childhood tantrums. John shares how traditional punishments backfire on our kids' nervous systems, and explains why our child's biggest meltdowns are actually a cry for connection and emotional tools rather than a sign of a bad kid. In this episode we cover: Why traditional punishments work against a child's brain and block them from learning lessons The power of getting curious instead of furious when your child has a major behavioral blowout Simple neuroscience brain hacks, like the color game, to bring a dysregulated child back online Why society holds toddlers to adult standards while adults throw tantrums with road rage The history of terrible parenting advice from the 1930s that is still impacting our families today How to take a beat and do no harm when your own triggers flare up in public Why doing the hard work to build emotional trust now makes the teenage years a total breeze Connect with Jon Fogel on Instagram @wholeparent, visit his site myparentlab.com and buy his two books Punishment-Free Parenting: https://go.shopmy.us/p-71062269 and Set My Feelings Free: https://go.shopmy.us/p-71062356 (paid links) Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!When we think about attachment in adoption and foster care, we usually focus on the child. But parents bring their own attachment histories and life experiences into the relationship as well. Dr. Chaitra Wirta-Leiker explores how a parent's past can shape their parenting, influence reactions to challenging behaviors, and impact family connection and healing. Dr. Wirta-Leiker is a licensed psychologist, transnational and transracial adoptee, adoptive parent, creator of the National Adoptee-Therapist Directory, and author of the Adoptees Like Me children's book series.In this episode, we discuss:When we talk about trauma and attachment in adoption and foster care, most of the focus tends to be on the child. Why is it equally important to explore the parents' history?What do parents sometimes miss about the role their own experiences play in parenting?Why can it feel uncomfortable or even threatening for parents to turn the lens inward rather than focusing exclusively on the child?Can you give us a working definition of what you mean by "attachment" so we are all on the same page?How does that relationship from our childhood influence our parenting style now? The 4 major adult attachment styles, and what do they look or feel like in our parent-child relationship:SecureAnxious/PreoccupiedAvoidant/DismissiveDisorganized/UnresolvedMany parents hear descriptions of attachment styles and immediately start self-diagnosing. Why is that unwise or unhelpful? And what do you want parents to understand about using these concepts as tools for growth rather than labels?How do unresolved childhood experiences or trauma shape our parenting responses?Our kids with their histories of trauma, attachment disruptions, grief, losses, and trauma often bring those into our relationships. When these histories intersect with our unresolved experiences, both parent and child can feel triggered.What are some common ways our history of trauma may get activated—or "triggered"—by our adopted or foster children?How can we talk to ourselves when we feel that activation happening? Scripts we can use or messaging we can rehearse?Are there certain child behaviors that tend to be especially activating for parents with unresolved attachment or trauma wounds? What is happening neurologically and emotionally when a parent feels disproportionately angry, hurt, rejected, or powerless in response to a child's behavior?Why do you think parenting in adoption and foster care is uniquely effective at exposing unresolved issues that a parent may not have known were there?How do our parental expectations—about bonding, gratitude, trust, or family life—sometimes become obstacles to connection?What are some signs we notice when we are responding from our own history rather than from what the child actually needs in the moment?What signs can we notice in our kids to help us see that we may be responding from our own histories?What does healthy self-awareness look like for adoptive and foster parents?When parents recognize their own triggers, what practical steps can they take in the moment?How can parents begin exploring their own attachment history safely and productively?Is it possible to move toward a more secure attachment style as an adult? If so, how does that happen?What's one question parents should ask themselves when they find themselves repeatedly stuck in conflict with their child?Where would you encourage parents to begin if today's conversation has raised some difficult but important self-reflection?Resources:Grow Beyond WordsUnderstanding Attachment Between Parent and ChildAdoptee and Foster Alum Voices resource pageTherapy Resources for Adoptive, Foster, and Kinship FamiliesSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Belle Burden was, by her own account, the good girl. Quiet, compliant, the kid who wrote her own book report and did her homework on Friday afternoons. Then one night in the second week of the 2020 lockdown, a stranger left a voicemail: your husband is having an affair with my wife. By 6 a.m. her 20-year marriage was over, and the life she thought she could count on stopped making sense. In her memoir of the event and its aftermath, Strangers, Belle traces how she got to this place - and how she found her way back. They get into the stuff we all carry: why "being good" can quietly cost you yourself, how kids notice far more than we give them credit for, and why it's never too late to tell them the truth. Dr. Becky wrote up her thoughts on how to get the "good girl" tendency out of your own emotional driver seat. * Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: Girl Scouts: If you have a daughter in kindergarten through 12th grade, visit girlscouts.org to learn more LMNT: Get a free gift with your purchase at drinkLMNT.com/goodinside Pampers Easy Ups: Start your potty training journey with Peppa Pig Pampers Easy Ups Little Spoon: Get 50% off your first order at littlespoon.com/rattled with code RATTLED Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As parents, we naturally want to comfort, protect, and help our children. But when OCD enters the picture, some of our most loving instincts can unintentionally keep the OCD cycle going.In this episode, I walk through seven common parenting traps that quietly strengthen OCD, not because you're doing anything wrong, but because OCD is incredibly good at recruiting parents into its game.These are subtle shifts, but they can dramatically change how you respond to OCD, and how your child learns to respond to it too.Download the free PDF handout for this episode: www.natashadaniels.com/handouts
Hi everybody, I'm coming to you from Vermont, where life feels slower on the outside, but my mind has been Busy. In this solo episode, I'm sharing an honest catch-up on everything that's been rattling around my head lately: why I've been feeling so exhausted, the anxiety of always thinking about what's next instead of where I am, the guilt and heartbreak of navigating my mom's illness, and a major shift in how I'm thinking about our fertility journey. If you feel similarly pulled between gratitude and grief, struggle to stay present during good moments, or wonder why one difficult thing can suddenly consume your whole mind, I hope my swirling thoughts help you feel a little less alone.

What if being a better parent had nothing to do with having the right answers? Beloved radio host and bestselling author Christian O'Connell joins Dr Justin Coulson for an honest conversation about anxiety, authenticity, and what it feels like when your children leave home. A forgotten ice-block wrapper tucked into the couch becomes a lesson in letting go. Christian also shares the simple approach that helped him stay connected with his daughters as they grew up. This episode is a reminder that your children don't need a perfect parent. They need you. KEY POINTS Why being present matters more than getting parenting right. What empty nest grief really feels like. How everyday moments become the memories that stay with us. Why children connect with parents who are genuine, not perfect. The habit that keeps kids talking through the teenage years. What living with anxiety taught Christian about parenting. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "The number one job as a parent is to keep them talking." RESOURCES MENTIONED Unscript by Christian O'Connell No One Listens to Your Dad's Show by Christian O'Connell ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stop searching for the perfect response. Be fully present instead. Listen for longer before offering advice. When your child opens up, keep the conversation going instead of trying to fix the problem. Pay attention to the ordinary moments. They often become the ones you'll remember most. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Parenting is hard, and parenting in a tech world can be downright overwhelming. The good news is that we have a good God who calls us to faithfulness, not perfection. So today, rather than focusing on ourselves as parents, we're going to reflect on who God is, who we are, and what it means to be a child of God.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4fxV1ma
In this episode, we welcome back Yocheved Rottenberg — author, IFS therapist, Nurtured Heart Approach trainer, and therapeutic writing facilitator — for a deeply meaningful conversation about healing, inner child work, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way.Yocheved shares how her work blends therapeutic writing with the Nurtured Heart Approach to help people honor their pain, process their experiences, and move beyond simply understanding their past. Through this powerful approach, we can begin to recognize the resilience, courage, and unique strengths that were present all along.Together, we explore the journey of meeting our younger selves with compassion, seeing the greatness that existed even in moments of struggle, and learning how our hardest experiences can reveal the incredible person we have become.A heartfelt conversation about healing, self-discovery, and finding the spark within that was never truly gone.Yocheved's informationGuided Journal for Teen Girls: https://a.co/d/0fY2Ee3sGuided Journal for Mothers: https://a.co/d/0e2vV5Ko Yocheved's Wesbite: https://www.heartscript.org/ https://www.writeyourwayhome.com/ For more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at EnergizingHearts@gmail.com Check out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent
Why do some teenagers seem to change so dramatically, leaving parents feeling disconnected and unsure of how to help? In this insightful episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes psychologist, mental health expert, and author Gregory Jantz to discuss his book, When Your Teenager Becomes... the Stranger in Your House. Dr. Jantz explores the emotional, psychological, and social challenges that adolescents face during the teenage years. He discusses how stress, peer influence, family dynamics, technology, and mental health concerns can affect a teen's behavior and communication, while offering practical guidance for parents seeking to rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and provide meaningful support. Throughout the conversation, Rob and Dr. Jantz examine strategies for improving family communication, recognizing warning signs of emotional distress, setting healthy boundaries, and creating a home environment where teenagers feel safe, respected, and understood. The discussion emphasizes compassion, patience, and the importance of seeking professional support when concerns about a teenager's mental health or well-being arise. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, counselor, or anyone working with young people, this episode offers valuable insights into navigating the often-complex journey of adolescence and fostering stronger family relationships.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

This week, the air quality is apocalyptic, parents everywhere are staring down the summer childcare cliff, and Kate is feeling pro-tantrum.. What starts as a meditation on the summers of yore turns into one on modern parenting and why we never stood a chance. Through a mix of personal stories and listener submissions, this episode gets into the Nature Valley bars of motherhood (things that are structurally designed to crumble no matter what you do), and Kate unpacks why the U.S. treats raising the next generation of taxpayers as a private, elective hobby, and why calling motherhood "natural" is the exact trick that lets everyone avoid paying for it, among other things. If you've ever felt like you're losing your mind trying to balance the demands of work and modern society with the realities of parenting, you aren't crazy. Take a deep breath (indoors), and let's vent. Enjoy! Want to help build a follow-up about how we can stand a chance?

Lately, my kids have been watching a lot of TV. More than I'd like to admit. And for a while, I let myself spiral about it. What kind of mom lets her kids zone out on screens all day? What is that doing to them? But then I caught myself, because I've learned that there's a difference between self-confronting and shame-spiraling. And, once I stopped the shame-spiral, I reminded myself that our family is going through a hard time right now, and if some extra screens are going to support us through it, that's not the end of the world. What our home needs most right now is compassion. My kids need an extra dose of compassion, and so do I. That's what gets us through hard times. This week's episode is a recording from a small group coaching call I did back in 2019, with about twenty women who were in the thick of hard seasons with their kids. We talk about how to support your kids through struggles, and how you can support yourself, too. In this episode, you'll hear:
If the point is for our family to be together, if the point is for us to have fun together, to relax together, to get closer together, we need to start much earlier.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
If you've ever felt the pressure to be the perfect parent, what my Italian mother taught me about parenting without perfection will remind you that love, connection, and repair matter far more than getting every moment right. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge shares how her Regulation First Parenting™ approach helps families move beyond perfectionism to raise emotionally resilient, regulated kids. Trying to be the perfect parent is exhausting—and it may actually be making parenting harder. If you're constantly second-guessing yourself, feeling guilty after difficult moments, or wondering if you're getting it all wrong, you're not alone.This episode explores why parenting without perfection creates calmer parents, more resilient kids, and stronger family connections.Why do I feel like I'm failing as a parent?Many parents believe they have to respond perfectly every time. But chasing perfection doesn't calm your child—it overwhelms your nervous system.When you're carrying the pressure to "get it right," you're more likely to become reactive instead of regulated. Your child doesn't need perfection. They need a parent who keeps showing up with love and connection.Key takeaways:Perfectionism increases stress—not connection.You don't have to get every moment right.Consistency matters more than perfection.Can apologizing after I lose my temper help my child?Yes. One hard moment doesn't define your relationship.What matters most is what happens next. Repairing after conflict teaches children that relationships can survive mistakes, emotions can be repaired, and love remains steady.Imagine snapping during homework time. Coming back later to say, "I wish I handled that differently," helps your child feel emotionally safe instead of ashamed.Remember:Repair builds trust.Connection grows after difficult moments, too.Modeling accountability teaches resilience.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterDoes perfectionism increase anxiety in kids?Perfectionism often creates pressure that children absorb.When home feels like everything has to be done exactly right, kids can become fearful of making mistakes. Instead of building confidence, perfection can fuel anxiety and make it harder for children to problem-solve independently.Focus on this instead:Create emotional safety first.Celebrate effort over flawless performance.Behavior is communication.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's family series by exploring how the culture of our homes shapes the people we become and the impact we have on the world around us. He walks through five important questions every family can ask: what is being taught, nurtured, built, encouraged, and reached? With practical examples and heartfelt insight, Samuel encourages families to make Jesus the foundation of their home, teach faith relationally, nurture growth with intention, speak words that build up, and create homes that reflect the love, generosity, and presence of God to others.
Journey with us as we review this months memory verse (Colossians 1:28), and play a round of Guess the Imposter. Join us on Wednesday for another Pirates of the Mountain story.
Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Your kids aren't waiting for a big turning point to decide what kind of man you are. They're reading the chapter you're writing right now, page by page, in car rides, mornings, bedtime, and the way your attention either lands or doesn't. That's the pressure and the gift of fatherhood: the story is live, and the people who matter most are already experiencing it from the inside. We zoom in on a hard distinction for high-performing men: past chapters may explain the pattern, but they don't excuse what happens after you see it. The old question was “What does he do when he's busy and building?” The current question is sharper: now that you see the gap between what you say matters and what gets your best, what do you do today? Not someday. Not as a declaration. In the texture of ordinary days. We get specific about what the current chapter is quietly recording: whether insight moves you, whether the pattern is fixed or changing, what this season of your kids' lives with you actually feels like, and what matters enough for you to genuinely change. We also name a trap achievers fall into fast: converting awareness into planning. Family repair doesn't respond to planning; it responds to presence, and presence can't be scheduled into next quarter. If you've felt the tension between being a strong provider and being emotionally available, this conversation will hit.

Have you ever wondered whether your child's sensitivity, strong will, quietness, or intensity is something you need to change? When a behavior repeatedly frustrates or worries us, it is easy to start seeing our child as the problem. We may lecture more, push harder, compare them to other children, or try to shape them into someone who feels easier and less frightening to raise. But what if the trait you are trying to eliminate was never broken? In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore the important difference between accepting who your child is and guiding how they use their strengths. You will learn how sensitivity can become empathy, strong will can become leadership, quietness can reflect thoughtfulness, and intensity can grow into passion and purpose. They also share practical language for responding to children and teens without shaming their identity, while still maintaining boundaries, teaching responsibility, and developing emotional regulation. You'll discover:• How parental fear can turn guidance into rejection• Why children need to know, “I am loved as I am, and I am capable of growing”• How to find the strength underneath a frustrating behavior• What children ages 8–18 need from parents at different developmental stages• Four questions to help you decide whether a moment needs acceptance, guidance, or a clear boundary• How protecting your child's dignity strengthens your influence into adulthood Your child does not need you to fix who they are. They need your help becoming the healthiest, wisest version of who they already are. Learn more about Parent Relationship Coaching and the Art of Raising Humans at ArtOfRaisingHumans.com.

Can parenting influence a child's sexuality? It's one of the most debated questions in Christian circles—and one that's often answered with extremes.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady Cone responds to the claim that "bad parenting doesn't make kids gay" and explores what Scripture, discipleship, and years of ministry reveal about family dynamics, childhood wounds, and same-sex attraction.This conversation is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding how emotional attachment, trauma, and the lies we believe can shape our hearts while remembering that every person is responsible before God and that true healing is found in Christ.If you're a parent, someone wrestling with same-sex attraction, or simply trying to think biblically about these issues, this episode is for you.In this episode:Do parents cause same-sex attraction?Can childhood trauma influence sexuality?What role do emotionally distant fathers and anxious mothers play?Why grace for parents matters.Understanding the difference between influence and blame.How Romans 1 informs discipleship and healing.Shepherding your child's heart with humility and truth.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:45 Responding to the Facebook claim03:17 Parents aren't to blame06:38 Family patterns that matter07:07 The role of sexual abuse09:35 Three parenting categories13:23 Romans 1 and believing lies15:31 Why ignoring root issues is dangerous18:00 Understanding the past without excusing sin20:10 Encouragement for parents22:48 Final encouragement and ministry invitationIf this conversation encouraged you, like this video, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs biblical clarity and hope.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!

Welcome to the 37th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Growth. Are you measuring the right thing? We track goals, minutes, rankings, scouts. But the growth that actually matters doesn't show up on any scoreboard — the kid who resets after a bad play instead of falling apart, the one who now asks the coach questions, the athlete who digs in when things get hard instead of checking out. The outcomes we obsess over are mostly outside their control. The growth we overlook is what they're building every single day — and what will matter long after the sport is over. This week, find one moment where your child handled something better than they would have a year ago. Tell them you noticed. Be specific: "I saw how you handled that. That's growth." The scoreboard shows who won. You get to show them who they're becoming. Take a breath. Reset. What you choose to notice shapes what your child believes about themselves.
