What does it really mean to raise securely attached kids? I first came across Eli Harwood's book Raising Securely Attached Kids on a solo trip, and it completely re-energized how I think about connection and parenting. Her words reminded me that so much of raising emotionally healthy kids starts with how we show up, not how perfect we are. It is now one of my most favorite parenting books out there.  On today's episode, Eli and I talk about the real meaning of secure attachment, how it shows up in everyday moments, and why so many of us misunderstand it. She shares her own story of growing up with a cycle-breaking mom, how that shaped her work, and the lessons she now passes on to parents everywhere. We discuss:  ✔️ What secure attachment actually means in daily life ✔️ The four main attachment styles and how they develop ✔️ How to tell if your child feels emotionally safe with you ✔️ Why repair after conflict is one of the most powerful parenting tools ✔️ How to build lasting connection through small, consistent moments To connect with Eli Harwood follow her on Instagram @theattachmentnerd, check out all her resources at https://attachmentnerd.com/ and purchase her books here: https://attachmentnerd.com/books  Upcoming mother daughter journal “Uniquely Us” https://attachmentnerd.com/books/uniquely-us Upcoming encyclopedia style book called “How to Deal With Your ____ so Your Kids Don't Have To” created to help parents develop healthy emotional patterns!  https://attachmentnerd.com/books/how-to-deal-with-your-so-your-kids-dont-have-to EMDR Podcast Episode: https://pedsdoctalk.com/podcast/trauma-therapy-why-you-may-need-emdr/  0:00 What Secure Attachment Really Is 1:00 Why One Safe Caregiver Changes Everything 1:58 How Dr. Mona Found Eli Harwood 3:12 Eli's Story and Becoming Attachment Nerd 7:58 How Attachment Theory Shapes Family Patterns 10:12 Why Connection and Communication Matter 12:18 What Secure Attachment Looks Like Day to Day 19:39 The Four Attachment Styles Explained 30:13 How To Tell If Your Child Feels Emotionally Safe 32:35 Real-Life Parenting Mistakes and Repair 37:59 Four Daily Habits That Build Secure Attachment 42:56 Listening, Feedback, and Emotional Language 43:55 Repairing After Messy Moments 50:24 Final Takeaways and Where To Learn More Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

This week on Literally Not Okay, I'm joined by the one and only Rosebud Baker — actress, comedian, writer, and my brain twin

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus' coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle. But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It's one thing to avoid, it's quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well. They cover some key highlights from their Advent book for families, The 25 Days of the Christmas Story, and also talk about what's coming for Tender & Fierce in 2026!Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction and 25 Days of Christmas Story4:50 What's coming up for the podcast6:15 Christi updates on Tender & Fierce and what's coming for 202615:08 Embracing presence this Christmas20:50 Ideas for helping your kids experience God's presence this ChristmasShow Notes: Get 25 Days of the Christmas Story! https://amzn.to/49kHiO1Buy 25 Days of the Christmas Story in bulk: https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/25-days-of-the-christmas-story-P005829480Register for Tender & Fierce 2026! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierceSign up for our email list and Famous at Home Starter Bundle: https://www.famousathome.com/newsletter Want a marriage you love?

The publication found 10 cases where this was happening. But in half of those, parents were not accused of any crimes yet were still sued by the state . Sami Edge is the assistant breaking news editor for the Oregonian. She joins us to share more on why this is happening and what it means for parents.

Are you trying to set teen boundaries without your child calling you “controlling” or “the worst parent ever”?If you want your teen to live by high standards—around tech, food, friends, habits, and lifestyle—you can't just make it your standard and enforce it. It has to become their standard. In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down exactly how they helped their own teens buy in so deeply that they now say things like, “I'm not putting that garbage in my body,” or “I don't waste my life on that.”Instead of rules and power struggles, they show you how to prioritize relationship over rules, lean on unconditional love, and teach the laws that govern health, happiness, success, and addiction—so your kids see for themselves where certain choices lead. When teens understand the why behind your standards, they stop feeling controlled and start choosing those standards for themselves.You'll also hear how the Dennings have intentionally made real life more compelling than video games or junk food—often inviting friends along for the ride—so the “different” lifestyle isn't a punishment, it's an upgrade.If you've ever wondered, “How do I hold the line without wrecking the relationship?” this conversation will give you a new framework: less control, more conviction—and a family standard that everyone owns.

In this episode, Tammy and Tania unpack one of the most common questions parents ask: “How old is old enough to stay home alone?”Together, they explore the developmental skills kids need before taking this step—things like emotional regulation, problem-solving, impulse control, and knowing what to do in an emergency. They also talk about age guidelines, legal considerations, red flags that a child may not be ready, and the small practice steps families can take to build confidence along the way.Tammy and Tania share practical scripts, real-life examples, and gentle reassurance to help parents make this decision with clarity rather than fear. Whether your child is asking for more independence or you're wondering if it's time, this episode will help you navigate the transition safely and thoughtfully.Wanting more from ICP?

In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy podcast, host Christopher Robbins interviews parenting expert Donna Tetreault about building trust within families. They discuss the foundational importance of trust in parent-child relationships, drawing on insights from Stephen M.R. Covey's work on trust. Donna emphasizes the difference between smart trust and blind trust, explaining how parents can give age-appropriate autonomy while maintaining necessary boundaries. The conversation covers practical strategies for handling broken trust, encouraging self-advocacy in children, and the importance of natural consequences. Donna also stresses the need for parents to trust themselves in their parenting journey and extend grace to both themselves and their children. Episode Highlights 00:00:10: Christopher Robbins introduces the podcast and welcomes guest Donna Tetreault, a national TV parenting journalist, author, and educator who shares parenting strategies on major Los Angeles television stations. 00:01:40: Donna expresses excitement about being on the podcast. 00:01:43: Christopher discusses the importance of trust, referencing Dr. Stephen R. Covey's work and Stephen M.R. Covey's book "The Speed of Trust," establishing trust as the foundation of all relationships. 00:02:48: Donna explains the importance of trusting children in their decision-making process, citing Maria Montessori's quote about never doing for a child what they can do for themselves, while emphasizing the need for boundaries and coaching. 00:03:56: Christopher asks Donna to explain the concept of self-advocacy. 00:04:02: Donna defines self-advocacy as allowing children to build their own lives and make decisions, using the example of choosing friends rather than parents arranging all social interactions. 00:05:16: Christopher introduces the concept of smart trust versus dumb trust, using the humorous example of letting a newly licensed teen drive a brand new Ferrari. 00:06:02: Donna provides practical examples of age-appropriate trust, including bedtimes and technology use, explaining how to gradually increase responsibility as children demonstrate capability. 00:07:13: Donna discusses homework as an example of building trust and autonomy, encouraging parents to step back when children show responsibility rather than hovering. 00:08:02: Christopher introduces the concept of check-ins or mileposts, suggesting a "trust but verify" approach. 00:08:33: Donna agrees with the check-in approach, noting that younger children need more frequent check-ins while older children should require fewer as they build autonomy. 00:09:20: Christopher shares his personal experience as a father of nine, noting that different children require different levels of check-ins. 00:09:30: Donna emphasizes that every child is different and parents should trust themselves to read their children's individual needs. 00:09:53: Christopher asks how to handle situations when children break trust. 00:10:11: Donna advises against harsh reactions, recommending connection and compassion instead, and introduces Tina Payne Bryson's concept of saying children have "bent" rather than "broken" trust. 00:11:47: Christopher appreciates the phrase "bent my trust" as valuable advice. 00:11:53: Donna and Christopher agree on the value of the reframing. 00:12:15: Donna role-plays how to approach a teen who hasn't been attending school, emphasizing getting curious rather than immediately punishing. 00:13:18: Christopher shares his personal story of not attending high school for weeks and how his stepfather handled it with trust and a simple question. 00:13:36: Donna expresses surprise at Christopher's story. 00:13:53: Donna asks why Christopher wasn't attending school. 00:13:56: Christopher explains he wanted to do other activities like skiing and fly fishing, finding school boring. 00:14:29: Donna agrees with Christopher's philosophy. 00:14:31: Christopher emphasizes that parenting is a marathon not a sprint, using the phrase "never judge a man by his youth," and asks about experiencing natural consequences. 00:14:55: Donna discusses the importance of natural consequences rather than arbitrary punishments like taking away phones, allowing children to experience real-world results of their choices. 00:15:37: Christopher notes that sometimes natural consequences can be quite severe. 00:15:44: Donna acknowledges severe consequences and discusses how parents can support children through making up missed work while maintaining appropriate boundaries with teachers. 00:16:41: Christopher asks if there's anything else Donna wants to share. 00:16:48: Donna encourages parents to trust themselves, acknowledging that parenting is difficult regardless of expertise, and emphasizes giving oneself grace as a model for children. 00:17:28: Christopher asks where listeners can find Donna online. 00:17:34: Donna directs listeners to her Instagram account at Donna Tetreault. 00:17:41: Christopher asks Donna to spell her last name. 00:17:43: Donna spells out her name: T-E-T-R-E-A-U-L-T. 00:17:49: Christopher concludes the podcast, thanking Familius for support and encouraging listeners to subscribe, leave reviews, and extend trust one step at a time. Key Takeaways Trust is the foundation of effective parenting and should be extended to children in age-appropriate ways, allowing them to develop autonomy and decision-making skills. Practice "smart trust" rather than "blind trust" by setting appropriate boundaries while giving children opportunities to demonstrate responsibility. When trust is broken, use compassionate language like "you've bent my trust" rather than harsh accusations, and focus on rebuilding rather than punishing. Allow children to experience natural consequences of their actions rather than imposing arbitrary punishments, as real-world results are often more effective teachers. Different children require different levels of oversight and check-ins; trust yourself as a parent to recognize each child's individual needs. Self-advocacy begins early by allowing children to make age-appropriate decisions, from choosing friends to managing homework and bedtimes. Parents should extend grace to themselves and trust their own parenting instincts, modeling self-compassion for their children. Get curious rather than punitive when children make mistakes, asking "what's going on?" instead of immediately reacting with anger. Quotable Moments "Never do for a child what they can do for themselves" - Maria Montessori quote shared by Donna Tetreault "We're trying to tell our kids that we trust you in the process of your life" - Donna Tetreault "Instead of telling your child that you have broken my trust, you can say, you've bent my trust" - Tina Payne Bryson concept shared by Donna "You should never judge a man by his youth" - Christopher Robbins "We want our kids to know that we believe them to be capable" - Donna Tetreault "Trust yourself to know that you're doing the best that you can and honor that and give yourself grace" -Donna Tetreault "It doesn't matter if you've written a book, if you've studied it, if you're a former teacher, if you're a psychologist, it just doesn't matter. It's very difficult parenting in this day and age" - Donna Tetreault

What if the test gatekeeping college admissions was designed to celebrate—not undermine—your classical education? Discover how one alternative is changing the game for homeschoolers and classical students across America. In this milestone episode, Robert Bortins sits down with Soren Schwab (VP of Partnerships) and Noah Tyler (CFO) from the Classical Learning Test to celebrate 10 years of offering an alternative to the College Board's monopoly. The conversation opens with a stunning revelation: after hiring David Coleman—the chief architect of Common Core—in 2015, the College Board transformed the SAT so dramatically that its longest reading passage is now between 25-125 words. That's literally the length of a tweet. This is what "college readiness" has become. The CLT offers something radically different: Instead of politically biased content and tweet-length passages, students engage with C.S. Lewis, Aristotle, Dickens, and Abraham Lincoln. Parents report their children actually asking to read more after encountering authors on the test—something that would never happen with the SAT or ACT. And because homeschoolers can take it from home through video proctoring, test anxiety is significantly reduced. What You'll Learn: How homeschoolers went from "a little weird" to the most sought-after students on college campuses The expansion story: from garage startup to 320+ accepting universities and recognition in 15 states Legislative victories breaking the College Board's monopoly in Florida, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and beyond The exciting announcement about "Enduring Course Exams"—CLT's alternative to AP, starting with humanities subjects where the College Board's ideological capture is most egregious   Resources: https://www.cltexam.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Classical Conversations Alumni Network Classical Conversations launched its Alumni Network in May 2025, creating the first comprehensive platform for CC graduates and parents to stay connected beyond Challenge IV.

In today's episode, I sit down with the brilliant and grounding Erin Walsh (author of "It's Their World Teens, Screens and the Science of Adolescence" and co-founder of the Spark and Stitch Institute) to talk about something every parent I know is secretly panicking about: raising humans in a digital world that evolves faster than our nervous systems can blink.Erin and I go way beyond the usual “screen-time limits” conversation. We get into the real, nuanced, evidence-based, actually-helpful stuff—like how our kids' tech behaviors are so often a mirror of our own emotional regulation, why shared family tech rituals matter more than the perfect set of rules, and what boys are learning (or not learning) about their emotions from the online spaces they inhabit.We talk about how the digital world is designed to hijack attention, how masculinity is being shaped in comment sections, and why secure attachment is still the number-one “parental control” we have access to. We explore the importance of boredom (yes, boredom—the thing our kids act like is fatal), co-regulation, and crowding out screens not with shame but with shared experiences that actually feel good to everyone.This conversation is honest, compassionate, and genuinely relieving. It names what so many of us feel but don't say out loud: it's hard to raise kids right now. The landscape is unfamiliar, the stakes feel high, and none of us grew up with the tools we're expected to have. Erin offers practical, grounded wisdom—and together, we remind you that you don't have to navigate any of this alone, and you don't have to do it perfectly for your kids to thrive.TakeawaysThe digital landscape poses unique and unprecedented challenges for families.Understanding how screen time affects development helps us guide—not control—our kids.Secure attachment is the most powerful buffer against tech-related overwhelm.Parents play an essential role in helping children navigate online content and culture.Boys often learn emotional expression from peers and online role models—many of whom are not emotionally mature.Boredom is not a crisis; it's a crucible for creativity and regulation.Shared family tech experiences build connection and restore balance.Emotional regulation means feeling feelings without causing harm to self or others.Healthy media habits require replacement strategies—not just restrictions.We need community, patience, and open dialogue to raise emotionally resilient kids in a digital age.Enjoy the episode, and I highly recommend Erin's book and work! https://sparkandstitchinstitute.com/about/erin-walsh/

Pet Peeves: Got a weird pet peeve? You're not alone. This episode, we're exposing the oddly specific things that drive people up the wall.  How Far Will Parents Go for Their Kid's Sports Dream? From early morning practices to big league dreams, many parents believe their child is the next sports superstar—68% say their kid is above average, and 1 in 6 think they'll go pro. We'll break down how youth sports are starting to feel more like the big leagues, with parents investing time, money, and hope into their young athletes.  What's Trending: Strap in!

He thought sparks were flying — until she ghosted. We track down Erin to figure out why.  Gen Z Calls Out Tone-Deaf Comments Older People Keep Making:In this episode, we're talking about the most cringe comments young people hear from older generations. From outdated advice to wild assumptions, these moments will have you laughing, cringing, and nodding along.  Good News: The Saturday before Thanksgiving isn't just for grocery runs—it's a chance to give back.

Thanks to the continued rise of body-image pressure that has been fed and fueled by marketing and social media, our teenage boys are being encouraged to engage in what's called “Testosterone-maxxing”, or “testmaxxing.” The practice involves attempts to increase male hormone levels through the use of hormone medications. A host of social media influencers have been building their following of teenagers young and old alike, some barely into puberty, feeding the narrative that to be a real man you must have bulging muscles and washboard abs. This trend is fueling a rise in unrealistic body expectations, dissatisfaction with one's body, and dangerous medication trends. And thanks to the algorithms, our curious kids who seek information on bulking up in this way will continue to receive more and more information, thereby driving them deeper and deeper into this dark hole. Parents, monitor your boys, and teach them that their identity is not to be found in their muscle tissue, but in Christ.

Ram Dass explores how part of the spiritual journey is about honoring incarnation and honoring our parents. He shares stories about spending time with his father, and how moments of intimacy between them were born of Ram Dass not trying to be someone special anymore. We move on to a 1985 Seva benefit in San Rafael, California. Ram Dass discusses moving back home at 50 to care for his aging father. He then tells the story of being called home from a meditation retreat to help his sick stepmother, and a moment of anger he felt towards his guru about what was happening.Up next is a trip to the 1990s at the Conscious Aging Retreat in Clearwater, Florida. Ram Dass responds to a question about helping a child awaken. He talks about how you have to become somebody before you become nobody, and recalls a memory where he and his mother overcame their roles of parent and child for a brief moment.Finally, we end with a conversation between Ram Dass and John Welshons on Maui in 2011. Ram Dass tells the story of a meditation retreat that turned into a therapy group, which triggered a memory from when he was a young child and his mother was holding him down during a temper tantrum. Ram Dass tries to reconcile this memory with the moment when his guru told him his mother is a very high soul.

And one of the aspects of your incarnation is that you are your father's son.' And even though, on some level, that seems kind of funny, it happens to be part of what it's about. Just like I have to honor the fact that I am an American. I have to pay my taxes. I have to do a lot of stuff. And this is one of the things, I must honor it. And then I have to figure out—what does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor parents?” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As parents, we want to rescue our kids from anxiety and OCD—but the truth is, some things are not within our control. And when we spend our energy trying to fix what isn't ours to fix, we burn out, lose connection with our child, and unintentionally strengthen OCD.

Today we're unpacking a topic that so many families struggle to understand—Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD—especially when it shows up in children. My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity. Tamar walks us through her five-step approach for helping kids manage OCD effectively, and she offers a message of hope—reminding us that with the right support, children can learn to take charge of their thoughts and lead full, joyful lives. About Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D. Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D., founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, has helped thousands of children overcome fears and gripping mental compulsions. She is also the author of Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking, Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Freeing Yourself from Anxiety. Things you'll learn from this episode How OCD can deeply impact family life and why awareness and understanding make such a difference Why recognizing the difference between typical anxiety and OCD is key to getting the right support How intrusive thoughts are more common than many realize—and can be effectively managed with treatment Why parents play a central role in helping children navigate OCD using structured, behavior-focused approaches How the five-step model empowers families to support change without reinforcing compulsions Why education, support, and understanding can ease parental fears and lead to better outcomes for kids Resources mentioned Dr. Tamar Chansky's website Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Powerful, Practical Program for Parents of Children and Adolescents (Updated in 2025) by Dr. Tamar  Chansky Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness by Dr. Tamar Chansky Freeing Yourself from Anxiety: Practical Strategies to Overcome Fears, Worries, and Phobias and Be Prepared for Life–from Toddlers to Teens by Dr. Tamar Chansky Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PA Dr. Tamar Chansky on How to Free Children from Negative Thinking (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Tamar on Instagram Natasha Daniels on Helping Kids Crush OCD (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids: 50 Fun Activities to Overcome OCD With CBT and Exposures by Natasha Daniels Filmmaker Chris Baier Helps Families Get Unstuck from OCD (Tilt Parenting Podcast) UNSTUCK: An OCD Kids Movie (Available with Spanish, French, Russian, Greek, Portuguese subtitles and an audio description) Learn more about your ad choices.

What if your child's school introduced storybooks promoting one-sided ideology on gender and sexuality—and refused to let you opt out? That's what happened in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the school board mandated storybooks about topics like gender transitioning, Pride parades, and pronoun preferences for kids starting in pre-K. A diverse group of religious parents took the school board all the way to the Supreme Court—and won. In this episode of Becket's Stream of Conscience podcast, attorney Eric Baxter interviews parents Chris and Melissa Persak and Jeff and Svitlana Roman on their journey to the Court and what this victory means for parental rights, religious freedom, and public education nationwide.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Dr. Kate Lund explore the concept of resilience, particularly in the context of parenting and education. They discuss the importance of fostering resilience in children, the role of parents in modeling behavior, and the impact of anxiety across generations. The conversation also touches on the challenges of navigating independence in a digital age, the significance of a growth mindset, and practical strategies like the 'daily wins' exercise to enhance resilience. Dr. Lund shares personal experiences and insights from her work, emphasizing that perfect parenting is a myth and that resilience can be cultivated through intentional practices.   Resilience involves a set of skills and strategies for navigating challenges. Parents play a crucial role in fostering resilience in their children. Anxiety is more openly discussed today than in previous generations. Independence for children should be balanced with safety and guidance. Social media can impact children's self-regulation and mental health. Resilience is linked to a growth mindset and the belief in possibilities. Daily reflection on positive experiences can shift negative self-talk. Modeling resilience is important for children to learn effective coping strategies. The concept of perfect parenting is unrealistic and can create pressure. Building resilience takes time and requires a holistic approach.

Send us a textIn this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor unpacks the hidden forces shaping today's children and equips parents with the clarity and confidence they need to lead with purpose.For nearly 400 years, Western culture was built on a Protestant worldview where work had meaning, family was sacred, discipline was discipleship, and children were seen as image-bearers with purpose. But between the 1800s and early 1900s, new thinkers fundamentally shifted how society viewed identity, childhood, morality, and the family.Angie breaks down how three influential voices Freud, Skinner, and Marx reshaped modern education, psychology, and culture, and why parents today feel like they're swimming upstream. She explains:Freud: “Your desires define you.”Skinner: “You're just a product of conditioning.”Marx: “Society not the family should shape the child.”These worldviews still dominate schools, media, and youth culture. But the good news? Parents are still the #1 influence in a child's life. And with understanding comes the power to reclaim your child's formation.Connect with Angie Taylor on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrsangietaylor/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090424997350

Dr. Greg Hammer, is a Former Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and Mindfulness Expert.It was a wonderful conversation as he shared stories of his grandmother and her love for art and he declaration about using proper english grammar. Greg shares how he inherited  that same consciousness as to being respectful to the english language.A Best Selling Author with an eye on being active and healthy, his recent book is about adults, caregivers, teachers helping teenagers reduce their stress levels by using his meditative technique incorporating Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non judgement in a 3-4 minute daily meditation that anyone can do. He explains and walks us through a short meditation during this conversation.It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives-mental and physical balance and peace.It was a real pleasure speaking and meeting Dr. Greg Hammer.architectInformation about his most recent book: A Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non judgement Topic: Coping Strategies for Youth this National Suicide Prevention MonthTalk Points: Destigmatization is the key - Suicide is preventable through awareness, education, and accessible resources.The more we discuss mental health in productive ways, the better primed we will be to catch the warning signs before they progress into something serious.Openly discussing mental health encourages youth to initiate those conversations for themselves and ask for help should they need it.Today's teens face stressors that older generations never imaginedSocial media, smartphones, and the internet – and AIAfter-effects of COVID lockdown and isolationThe great political divide, affecting relationships in and outside of familiesIncreasingly competitive college admission and tuitionThe economic pressures their families faceThe Role of Parents and Parenting  - Cultivating Compassion, Forgiveness, and EmpathyThe Risks and How to Spot Them*Early Detection can save your child's life - The warning signs that someone is struggling with their mental health can easily be overlooked (especially amongst teenagers).*The most common symptoms of depression and anxiety (i.e. changes in behavior and mood, irritability, changes in sleep habits, changes in eating habits, withdrawing socially) are also commonly associated with the standard growing pains and hormonal shifts of adolescence. So, how do you know the difference?If something feels off with your child, the best thing you can do is ask.Sit down with your child and have a gentle, but honest conversation about your concerns. You may have to speak with them multiple times before they're ready to open up. Trust your instincts and be gently persistent.Consult a Mental Health Professional: There is no shame in asking for help for both teens and adults.Mindfulness at Home - Encouraging children to practice mindfulness daily can help build their mental and emotional resilience and protect their mental health in the short and long term.*Mindfulness can be a great tool to help teens rewire their brains away from the negativity on which they dwell. It can neutralize their tendency to ruminate over the past, often leading to depression, and to overthinking the future, creating fear and anxiety.The GAIN Method - Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment are the pillars of happiness for teens - and for the rest of us.Website:https://amindfulteen.com/Facebook: @GregHammerMD; https://www.facebook.com/greghammermd/Instagram: @greghammermd; https://www.instagram.com/greghammermd/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-hammer-02b20422/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

But do your parents secretly like it?

Dismayed parents are grappling with whether their homes could be contaminated as they try to rid them of play sand that could have traces of asbestos. They are angry and feel there has been no real responsibility taken for the dodgy sand, and that the buck has been passed. 24 schools and 16 early childhood centres have closed - or have plans to - after a significant recall last week of educational colours rainbow sand, creatistics coloured sand and four products from K-Mart. They're going through special testing, but some parents want to know why the same isn't being offered to them. Kim Baker Wilson reports.

Il y a des configurations familiales qui forcent le respect.Celle de Louanne en fait partie.Elles sont si extra-ordinaires, que certains de leurs enjeux m'avaient complètement échappé… et ne me sont apparus qu'au moment de l'enregistrement.Louanne fait partie de ces enfants qui ont quatre parents, huit grands-parents et seize arrière-grands-parents.J'avoue que j'avais déjà fait le calcul à l'époque où je me posais seule la question de la façon dont je construirais ma famille.C'était, pour moi, l'option la plus plausible.Plus tard, quand on en a reparlé avec Aude, la possibilité est revenue sur la table… avant d'être assez vite écartée.On ne se sentait pas capables d'intégrer un ou deux adultes de plus dans notre famille : les décisions à plusieurs, les divergences éducatives… tout cela nous paraissait trop difficile à gérer.Louanne, elle, raconte très bien les complexités qu'elle a traversées — celles que j'imaginais déjà à l'époque — mais elle raconte surtout la grandeur de l'amour qu'elle a reçu.Parce que, pour elle, avoir quatre parents, c'est avoir quatre fois plus d'amour.Et finalement, son enfance n'est pas si différente de celle des enfants qui grandissent dans des familles recomposées.Son combat à elle, aujourd'hui, c'est de faire reconnaître ses quatre parents comme… ses parents.Tout simplement.Parce que c'est sa normalité à elle.Quand on vous dit que le combat est loin d'être terminé… et que la dernière loi bioéthique a laissé de grands oubliés derrière elle.Je vous laisse découvrir son histoire et je vous souhaite une bonne écoute.

From the time that our first parents chose to follow their own desires rather than God's guidelines in Genesis three , our world and everything in it has been marred by sin. Consequently, our families are populated by broken people living with broken people. Because of this, our marriages are at times very difficult. And, parenting is difficult as well. We are broken parents raising broken kids. Yes, there are times and seasons of great joy, but there will be bumps in the road. We make a huge mistake if we expect to have a perfect family with perfect kids. We may even base our contentment in life on having a perfect family. If that's the case, we are only setting ourselves up for disappointment. One reason for this is that we have set a perfect family up as an idol. And like all other idols, the idol of family can never and will never deliver what we hope it will. Parents, just like you and me, our kids are broken and in need of redemption. Look for your source of happiness in Jesus Christ. 

On this episode Dublin's Lord Mayor Ray McAdam said vandals who destroyed a playground at Oscar Traynor Park in Coolock need to "grow up and cop on". We asked if the council should continue repairing vandalised playgrounds over and over again.

Send us a textA stuffed animal that answers back. A kind voice that “understands.” A tutor that lives in a fictional town. AI characters are everywhere, and they're changing how kids learn, play, and bond with media. We sat down with Dr. Sonia Tiwari, children's media researcher and former game character designer, to unpack how to welcome these tools into kids' lives without losing what matters most.Sonia breaks down what truly makes an AI character: a personality, a backstory, and the new twist of two‑way interactivity. From chatbots and smart speakers to social robots and virtual influencers, we trace how each format affects attention, trust, and learning. Then we get practical. We talk through how to spot manipulative backstories (“I'm your best friend” is a red flag), when open‑ended chat goes wrong, and why short, purposeful sessions keep curiosity high and dependence low.For caregivers wary of AI, Sonia offers a powerful reframe: opting out cedes the space to designs that won't put kids first. Early, honest AI literacy, taught like other life skills, protects children from deepfakes, overfamiliar bots, and data oversharing.If you care about safe, joyful learning with technology, this conversation gives you a clear checklist and a calm path forward.

In this episode of Everything Counts, host Motheo Khoaripe sits down once again with Emma Sadleir Berkovitz, founder of the Digital Law Company and Africa's leading expert on social media law and digital risk.

This week on the podcast, host Duane Osterlind welcomes Brenda Zane, the founder of Hope Stream Community. Brenda is a former high-level advertising executive who completely shifted her career after her son struggled with severe substance use disorder, including multiple fentanyl overdoses. Her experience led her to realize the lack of effective, compassionate, and actionable resources for parents dealing with a child's addiction—so she built them.Brenda shares her powerful, deeply personal journey, discussing the profound shift in perspective that occurred after her son's near-fatal experiences. She realized her demanding corporate life was "meaningless" compared to the urgency of her family's struggle. This episode is a must-listen for any parent, caregiver, or family member grappling with a loved one's addiction, offering a powerful message of hope, empowerment, and practical advice.Key Topics The Power of Perspective Shift: Brenda discusses how a crisis can force a re-evaluation of what is truly meaningful in life, leading her to leave her high-powered career to focus on supporting other families.Challenging the "Rock Bottom" Myth: The conversation directly addresses the harmful, disempowering message that parents are helpless and must simply "let them hit rock bottom." Brenda emphasizes that parents can take action to change their family system and build connection.The Importance of Parental "Internal Work": Brenda highlights that showing up effectively for a child struggling with substance use requires the parent to do their own deep internal work. This includes letting go of the ego, dismantling the need to rescue, and distinguishing between blame and responsibility in the family dynamic.The Backpack Analogy: A key concept discussed is allowing your child to struggle and face natural consequences (filling their "backpack" with life lessons), rather than constantly rescuing them (leaving them with an "empty backpack").Setting Boundaries with Compassion: Learn how to create a plan with your therapist to set boundaries that protect your sanity while still maintaining a loving relationship with your child. Brenda stresses the importance of understanding that your child's substance use is a symptom, not an action against you.The Value of Non-Judgmental Connection: Brenda shares practical examples, like meeting her son for breakfast with the rule of no talk about substance use, just to connect on a human, person-to-person level.Focusing on Support: Support anything that moves your loved one toward healthy relationships and healthy behavior, whether that's treatment, a mentor, or simple connection. Don't fall for "imaginary haircuts" (e.g., giving money for things you know will be used for substances).Healing in Community: The segment on Hope Stream emphasizes the need for a non-judgmental community where caregivers can find support, share experiences, and receive education on communication tools and the complexities of addiction, trauma, and ambiguous grief.The Mandatory Self-Care Message: Brenda's final advice to a struggling mom is concise and crucial: Take care of yourself. It is mandatory, not selfish.ResourcesWebsite: hopestreamcommunity.orgPodcast: hopestreamcommunity.org/playlistsE-books: hopestreamcommunity.org/resourcesNovusMindfulLife.comhttps://www.theaddictedmind.com/community If you live in California and are looking for counseling or therapy please check out Novus Mindful Life Counseling and Recovery CenterNovusMindfulLife.comWe want to hear from you.
