They also begin to shape what feels normal in a child's brain, body, and relationships. In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with family researcher and bestselling author Arlene Pellicane to talk about what kids lose when devices become the default (attention, affection, conversation, imagination), and what parents can rebuild with simple, steady choices. You'll hear why “background TV” isn't as harmless as it seems, how early screen exposure can set a lifelong pattern of seeking instant stimulation, why gaming and social media can hijack identity, and how to handle screen-time conflict when spouses (or even grandparents) aren't on the same page. This is practical, hopeful encouragement without guilt: delay what you can, replace screens with real-life skills and two-hands activities, and protect the one thing your kids can't swap out later—their capacity for connection.

In this episode, Jon unpacks the moment every parent dreads—when a child looks at you and says, “You can't make me.” Rather than framing it as defiance or disrespect, he explores what's actually happening in a child's nervous system when power struggles show up. Parents will walk away with a calmer lens, a clearer understanding of why control battles escalate, and practical ways to lead with confidence, reduce friction, and protect connection—without giving up boundaries. Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

From 2026 travel trends and purposeful adventures to the weirdest etiquette rules of the past 100 years and the smartest things to buy in January—this week we blend humor, history, and practical tips. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! 2026 Travel Trends — Purposeful, Experiential & Flavor-Forward Travel in 2026 is all about doing less, but doing it better. Instead of cramming calendars with nonstop trips, travelers are prioritizing meaningful experiences, longer stays, and intentional planning that blends adventure, culture, and rest. Purposeful travel means choosing trips that matter—whether that's a family getaway, an outdoor escape, or a food-forward adventure that lets you slow down and soak it all in. What to Do Now If summer travel is on your radar, now is the time to start watching flights and hotel availability. Prices tend to reward early planners, especially for popular destinations. Travel Tuesday Tip: Shop for flights on Tuesdays when deals are more likely to appear. Pro Move: Use your browser in incognito mode to avoid cookies that can track searches and potentially drive prices up. Active Culinary Travel Takes Off One of the fastest-growing trends blends outdoor activity with regional food and wine experiences. Think hiking by day, local cuisine by night—travel that feeds both the soul and the appetite. The Weirdest Etiquette Advice from the Past 100 Years Good manners have always evolved—but some advice from the past now feels downright bizarre. A look back at etiquette rules from the 1880s through the 1970s reveals just how much society, parenting, and social norms have changed. Highlights include: 1880s: Women limited to one glass of champagne and expected to keep their hair up at all times—except in private. Early 1900s: Children were expected to never contradict adults and keep opinions to themselves. 1910s–1920s: Parents were advised to avoid hugging or kissing babies to prevent “spoiling” them. 1940s: Salt and pepper were inseparable at the table—always passed together. 1960s: The right hand was strictly the “social hand,” reserved for handshakes—not coughing, drinks, or purses. 1970s: Dinner bills were to be discussed before the meal to navigate changing gender roles. It's a reminder that what once passed for “proper” can feel completely out of touch just a few generations later. What to Buy in January — The Smart Shopper's Sweet Spot January is one of the best months of the year for strategic shopping, thanks to post-holiday sales and inventory resets. Whether you're upgrading your home, health, or wardrobe, this is when deals shine. Fitness & Wellness: Gym memberships, home workout equipment, smartwatches, and activewear Home Goods: Bedding, towels, blankets (hello, white sales), humidifiers, and routers Electronics: TVs and tech discounted after football season to make room for new models Winter Apparel: Coats, boots, gloves, and scarves—buy now for next year Thrifted Finds: Donation drops surge after the holidays, making thrift stores goldmines OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Parents will walk away feeling deeply seen, with language for their restlessness, insight into how emotional intensity shows up in parenting, and reassurance that their unfinishedness is not a flaw, but a source of connection, creativity, and trust. Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron engage in a deep theological discussion on parenting, childhood, and Christian formation in light of current cultural pressures, drawing on recent findings from Science that challenge the modern obsession with early specialization and measurable success. Through a distinctly Christian worldview, they explore how American competitiveness, metrics-driven education, and parental anxiety often crowd out moral development, spiritual maturity, and the biblical call to raise children toward wisdom, virtue, and love of neighbor rather than status or achievement. Nathan and Cameron reflect on Scripture, Christian anthropology, and lived experience to argue that letting kids be kids is not negligence but faithfulness, emphasizing that true success cannot be reduced to trophies, test scores, or bumper stickers but is found in character, humility, joy, and long-term formation under God's providence. This episode is especially relevant for Christians seeking thoughtful theological insight on parenting, discipleship, cultural critique, and how faith shapes everyday decisions in a restless, results-obsessed age.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

What if saying your goals out loud, got you an email introducing you to your hero? In this episode, Cliff Ravenscraft shares how he walked away from a family insurance agency (started by his grandfather in 1937) where he was next in line to lead, all because of a podcast about the TV show Lost. After building an audience of 60,000 subscribers and receiving over 500 handwritten letters from people whose lives were transformed, Cliff realized his real calling wasn't selling insurance or being a pastor. It was teaching people how to use their voice to create content that matters. He's since helped over 40,000 people launch podcasts, but discovered something critical: nine out of ten failed because they skipped the first seven steps of building an online business. Step eight? Create content and build your audience. Everything else comes first. Cliff reveals the four-step formula that led to a $3 million relationship: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, and work the plan as it becomes available. He also shares why his first year as a full-time entrepreneur, working 14-hour days seven days a week for $11,000, ended with a 24-hour podcast marathon and two weeks in the hospital where he almost died.   [00:05:00] Helping 40,000 People Launch Podcasts Left very lucrative career in family insurance agency started by grandfather in 1937 Went out to teach people how to launch podcasts Helped more than 40,000 people in the world launch a podcast Published over 4,800 podcast episodes across 55+ shows in 20 years [00:11:20] The First Year That Almost Killed Him First year full-time: 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week, not one day off first nine months Didn't receive single personal paycheck, just earned enough to pay business expenses End of year brought home $11,000 net personal income after taxes Celebrated with 24-hour podcast marathon, ended with two weeks in hospital [00:13:20] Why Nine Out of Ten Podcasters Fail In 2012, more than 50 of top 100 business podcasts were Cliff's clients But nine out of ten failed to ever see sustainable profit or any income Created 11-step framework for building online business Step number eight: create content and build audience (first seven steps were missed) [00:14:40] The Workshop That Changed Everything In 2017 stopped teaching podcasting, started coaching through what people missed One person earned no income before workshop, within two weeks secured $5,000/month recurring Coaches charging $50/hour walked out charging $300/hour "This is what fires me up" [00:16:40] Choose an Audience With Money Most people fail to choose audience that has money Ideal customer must have money, be aware of problem, willing to pay to solve it "I've got entire audience of tens of thousands and none of them have any money" Must validate they will pay before you create website, logo, podcast content [00:20:00] The Two Conditions At 18, convinced life would be devoted to ministry with servant's heart Parents asked him to work in insurance office because of computer skills Told parents: "You will never expect me to get insurance license" "If I'm offered opportunity to pastor church, I must get your full blessing to leave" [00:24:20] Top 10 Out of 14,000 Insurance Agents Year 2000, top 10 out of 14,000 agents with Grange Life Insurance Top 50 out of 48,000 agents with Auto Owners Life Insurance Sold 30-100 policies per month selling term life insurance All while competing against people selling permanent life (much higher premiums) [00:25:40] The Lost Podcast Changed Everything 2005, started podcasting as hobby about TV show Lost By third episode had 27,000 subscribers around the world Audience grew to over 60,000 subscribers Wooden inbox with over 500 handwritten letters: "Because of something you said, my life will never be the same" [00:28:00] Reaching Hundreds of Thousands Within 18 months reaching hundreds of thousands through seven different podcasts Producing seven to fifteen podcast episodes per week People's lives being transformed "I wonder what life would be like if I could do this for a living" [00:30:40] Testing the Four Step Formula Heard four-step formula: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, work the plan Decided to test it with specific goal: meet Dan Miller and Leo LaPorte Didn't want to just meet at conference and be forgotten Wanted to tell them their influence and have them not forget meeting him [00:32:40] Forty Minutes After Hitting Publish Recorded podcast episode explaining formula and his goal Hit publish, 40 minutes later got email from Andy Troub (the connector) "I happen to be working on a project with Dan Miller. He's already aware of who you are" "Would you like me to introduce you?" [00:34:00] From Hero to Consulting Client One week later, Dan Miller was guest on Cliff's podcast After the interview, Dan asked "Can I schedule a consulting call with you?" Cliff told Dan audio quality was terrible, people can't make themselves listen Dan: "I really appreciate how honest you are. What do you recommend?" [00:35:00] The Weekend in Franklin, Tennessee Dan said order duplicate of everything in studio, ship to house "Come spend weekend with me, stay in guest room, help me build podcast studio" Dan started telling massive audience about Cliff Ravenscraft Cliff was booked solid for years because of that relationship [00:36:00] The Michael Hyatt Introduction Dan told Michael Hyatt (CEO Thomas Nelson Publishing) podcast was #1 marketing tool Dan did email introduction to Michael Hyatt Within a week, Cliff was in Franklin staying in Michael's guest room Setting up Michael's podcast studio [00:37:40] $3 Million in Revenue Between Dan Miller and Michael Hyatt relationships alone Can trace at least $3 million in revenue to those two Also met Leo LaPorte, both goals from four-step formula checked off Tested formula over and over, it worked every time [00:40:20] The 10-Step Formula Over time developed 10-step formula (includes four steps plus six others) Six other steps where you don't have to wait for plan to become available Ask series of questions that will give you next step Email cliff@cliffravenscraft.com with subject "10 step formula" for free video   KEY QUOTES  "I've got an entire audience of tens of thousands of people and none of them have any money, and none of them will buy any of my products and services.

Parents of Autistic children and children with Down syndrome are often given advice that sounds compassionate, reasonable, and supportive. But much of it slowly limits learning, flexibility, autonomy, and long-term growth. In this milestone Episode 200 of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy challenges 5 common pieces of parenting and education advice that unintentionally lower expectations and shift focus away from real learning. In this episode, you'll learn why Dr. Vaish challenges: • Strict routines and rigid structure — and how too much predictability reduces tolerance for learning and change • Traditional support groups — and how shared grief can quietly stall progress ... and more  This episode is for parents who: • Have been told academics can wait • Feel uneasy about advice that sounds kind but feels limiting • Want age-appropriate, intellectually rich education for their child Resources Learn how to teach real academics non-linearly, without waiting for "readiness," inside Non Linear Education.

Parents, here's a challenge to adopt a new years resolution that has you bent on gaining weight. No, I'm not encouraging you to go against conventional new year's resolutions and decide to eat more so that the scale in your home goes on overload. Rather, I'm encouraging you to resolve to weigh yourself down each and every day with the life-giving good weight of ingesting more and more of God's Word into your mind and heart. As the great J.I. Packer once wrote, “Wisdom is divinely wrought in those, and those only, who apply themselves to God's revelation.” The Apostle Paul writes in Colossians 3:16, “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom.” What we need to do is soak ourselves in the Scriptures on a daily basis. As you do that, God will form and conform you more and more into His image. And, not only will you be changed, but you will be better equipped to nurture you children and teens in the faith through your words and your example.

Emily Kircher-Morris chats today with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's so challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. TAKEAWAYS Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Waiting until the last minute can be a legitimate strategy for motivation. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Novelty keeps the brain engaged and interested. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. If you'd like members of your organization, school district, or company to know more about the subjects discussed on our podcast, Emily Kircher-Morris provides keynote addresses, workshops, and training sessions worldwide, in-person or virtually. You can choose from a list of established presentations, or work with Emily to develop a custom talk to fit your unique situation. To learn more, visit our website. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

Do you and your spouse disagree about discipline—one of you feels too strict while the other feels too soft?Are your kids pushing boundaries, playing you against each other, or reacting emotionally because expectations aren't clear?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel Denning break down the authoritative parenting style—and why it's the gold standard for raising confident, capable, emotionally healthy kids. You don't need to parent the same way, but you do need to parent from the same underlying approach.We explain why discipline is rooted in teaching, not punishment, and how authoritative parenting creates structure without control and warmth without permissiveness. When parents are divided, kids feel insecure. When parents are united, children feel safe—and behavior improves naturally.This episode walks through the four major parenting styles, why authoritarian and permissive approaches both fail long-term, and how authoritative parenting balances firm boundaries with connection, respect, and clarity.We also discuss:Why kids actually need boundaries to feel safeHow to disagree as parents without damaging your marriageThe difference between being a boss and being a leader in your homeHow to repair mistakes in real time (even in front of your kids)Why teaching builds internal motivation while punishment creates fearIf you want kids who do the right thing for the right reason—and a home built on trust, stability, and mutual respect—this episode gives you the framework.Key Takeaways✅ The authoritative parenting style creates security and confidence.✅ Discipline works best when it teaches instead of punishes.✅ Kids need clear boundaries to feel safe—not freedom without limits.✅ Parents can have different styles but must share the same approach.✅ Firm and kind are not opposites—you need both.✅ Unity between parents prevents manipulation and power struggles.Memorable Quotes

One of the hardest parts of raising a child with OCD is figuring out who you're actually talking to. Is it your child… or is it their OCD pulling you into another loop?In this episode, we talk about the different ways OCD ropes parents in—whether it's endless reassurance seeking, constant confessing, permission checking, “just right” demands, or those sneaky checking questions like, “Do I look sick?” or “Is this bad?”I'll walk you through how to spot when OCD is taking over the conversation: the circular back-and-forth that goes nowhere, the distress when you don't answer the “right” way, or the need for more and more clarity tied to their specific OCD themes.Then we shift into what you can do. We'll cover how to talk to your child about these patterns ahead of time, how to team up on a plan for responding, and how to use exposures and tools (like reassurance cards) to stop feeding the OCD loop.And finally, an important reminder: not talking to OCD does not mean ignoring your child. You can still validate, support, connect, and check in, just without fueling compulsions. Pulling yourself out of OCD's conversations is often one of the first big steps toward real progress.Links Mentioned in this episode:PDF handout for this episode: www.natashadaniels.com/handoutsJoin my free series: How to Be an Effective Anchor for Your Child's Anxiety or OCD — www.atparentingsurvivalseries.comYoutube video: Reassurance can Be a CompulsionYoutube video: Confessions Can be a Compulsion Podcast: How to Use Reassurance Cards ***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
