How big of a problem is “overparenting?” How much do you help your kids and manage their time? We talk to our friend Dr. Judy Ho, a licensed clinical therapist, about overparenting and how it's sometimes better to step back and let kids solve their problems on their own

Bird flu has been making headlines, but what does it mean for your family's health? Dr. Jeffrey Kahn breaks down what parents need to know about bird flu, how it spreads, symptoms to watch for and whether it poses a real risk to humans. Visit childrens.com/birdflu for up-to-date information.

We invest countless hours helping our children navigate friendships—arranging playdates, mediating conflicts, and teaching social skills. But when was the last time you nurtured your own connections? Parent friendships aren't just nice to have—they're essential. These relationships provide the emotional support, practical advice, and genuine understanding that can only come from others walking a similar path. In the demanding journey of parenthood, adult friendships offer both refuge and renewal. Yet many parents find themselves gradually disconnected from meaningful adult relationships, their social circles shrinking as family responsibilities expand. The irony? Just when we most need supportive friendships, we often have the least time to cultivate them. Consider this a gentle reminder to invest in your own friendship garden. Whether rekindling old connections or planting new ones, the relationships you nurture today will sustain you through the beautiful chaos of parenthood.

In this episode, I answer a question from Sabrina about her 10-year-old daughter who suddenly refused to continue play therapy after just a few weeks. She now says she'd rather journal or talk with her mom instead. Sabrina wonders if play at home can bring the same results as therapy and how to navigate this resistance. I explain the four phases of play therapy, why resistance is a natural and expected part of the process, and how avoiding therapy can reinforce anxiety rather than resolve it. I also discuss the key components that make play therapy effective—relationship, time, tools, and opportunity—and why results come from consistency and adherence to the process rather than just playing at home. Finally, I share how to approach this situation with validation and neutral limits, ensuring that her daughter continues therapy while still feeling a sense of control.

A biological parent's role is crucial in helping kids adjust to change, supporting step-relationships, and keeping things running smoothly.But here's the challenge—many bio parents either hold too tightly to their old parenting patterns or step back too quickly and expect their spouse to fill in.

Are you facing a baffling, frustrating and emotionally intense struggle with your child?  Do you question everything you're doing as a parent because your best efforts don't seem to be working to change your child's misbehavior? In this episode of our "Surviving and Thriving After Trauma" series, we tackle an increasingly important question: What do parents need to know about trauma?  Austin is joined by Kari Nietzel, a behavior analyst with over 14 years of experience working with families and children who have experienced trauma. Together, they explore how trauma impacts children, how it manifests in behavior, and how parents and caregivers can better understand and support their kids. Austin and Kari discuss: The difference between cultural perceptions and clinical definitions of trauma Trauma behavior vs. normal behavior The importance of understanding the "why" behind a child's behavior Examples of trauma responses Behavior as communication Teaching kids (and adults!) appropriate ways to express needs and emotions How to encourage parents and caregivers facing the challenge of parenting a child from trauma  Key Takeaways: Trauma is complex and manifests differently in each child. Behaviors are a form of communication that should be approached with curiosity. Parents can learn to focus on their child's needs and seek appropriate strategies to help them thrive. We know you'll be encouraged, comforted and equipped with parenting strategies through this conversation as you learn from Kari's personal and clinical experiences.  Resources: Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors by Robyn Gobell The Connected Parent by Karyn Purvis and Lisa Qualls TBRI podcast Calm Parenting Podcast If you enjoy listening to With You in the Weeds we'd love to hear from you!

In 2020, I had the privilege of being a guest speaker on Sandy Fowler's podcast “Mighty Parenting” for a candid discussion about youth mental health, suicide prevention, and the critical role parents play in supporting their children through emotional challenges. I thought it would be interesting to blow the dust off this episode where I was being interviewed by Sandy. As a medical professional deeply committed to improving mental health care in primary care settings, I shared insights specifically for parents about how to recognize warning signs, have difficult conversations, and access appropriate resources. That conversation became a pivotal moment in my career, sparking my desire to reach a broader audience through podcasting… Pediatric Meltdown was born!Today, as the host of Pediatric Meltdown, I continue to build upon that mission, but I thought it would be worth revisiting this discussion that served as a catalyst for my current role as a podcast host. During our conversation, we tackled the crucial topic of youth suicide prevention, breaking down barriers to communication, and providing practical tools for parents to support their children's mental well-being. Unfortunately, with the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, this discussion remains as relevant today as it was then, perhaps even more so.

Eating disorders are not just about food; they're about control, fear, and deep-seated emotional pain. As parents, it's our instinct to protect and nurture, but recognizing the signs of an eating disorder can be incredibly challenging. According to a recent study, girls as young as 6 years old begin to worry about their weight, and by age 14, 60-70% are actively trying to lose weight. In this episode, we are joined by adolescent medicine experts who specialize in pediatric eating disorders: Jennifer Northridge, M.D., who leads the adolescent medicine program at the Joseph M Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center, and Noor Al-Husayni, M.D., an attending physician in the program. We discuss the reasons behind the rising rates of eating disorders, how to identify early warning signs and effective treatment strategies.

Join us on Calibrate Conversations as we explore the profound cultural influences impacting gender dysphoria and the transgender movement, with a particular focus on the musician Cavetown, born Robin Skinner. We'll uncover how Cavetown's personal journey and the raw, emotional themes in her music resonate with many young people grappling with her own identities.

This conversation highlights the mental health challenges faced by individuals and their families, scrutinizing the role of social media and influential figures like Cavetown. We'll share personal stories and ministry efforts that support parents of LGBTQ kids, critiquing societal pressures and questioning the narrative that transitioning is a cure-all for underlying mental health struggles.

By reflecting on the concept of deconstruction in the context of faith, we stress the importance of an unchanging identity rooted in Christ. As we confront the darkness in our world, we'll draw inspiration from the book of Jude, urging perseverance and the embodiment of hope.

Send Lauren a text! In this episode, I'm talking about how anxiety often looks confusing in tweens and teens—sometimes appearing as irrational fears or even "bad behavior." Many parents question whether their child's reactions are actually anxiety or just acting out. Using real stories and examples, I show why these fears may not make sense but are still very real.Sometimes a kid's fear seems to make no sense. I'll tell you a story of a tween who was only slightly nervous while performing on stage but felt too afraid to buy school lunch. I'll share some of the steps that helped this boy to challenge his fear. I will encourage you, as a parent, to approach moments like these with compassion. In these anxious moments your kid is not intentionally trying to blow up your day, even though it sometimes feels like it! And I also urge you to have compassion for yourself as well. Parenting a tween or teen with anxiety is challenging, and offering yourself some grace is super important!And stay tuned for What's Bringing Me More Zen. Here's a hint: lately, I've been crafting... wait for it... for the holidays! Yes, it's totally unlike me to be this far ahead of the season.
