I dagens podcastepisode kommer jeg ind lidt af hvert, men det handler især om det særlige forældreskab og især giver jeg en boganbefaling. Jeg har læst psykolog Anette Due Madsens bog "Uden Manual - At være forælder til et barn med særlige behov", som jeg i den grad vil anbefale alle forældre med et særligt forældreskab at læse. Jeg kommer ind på bla:Hvorfor forældre til børn med handicaps og særlige behov har brug for støtte og hjælp (se links til forskning længere nede)Anettes bog "Uden manual" og nogle af de emner, hun beskriver fra en både faglig og personlig vinkel som fx. separationsprocessen mellem børn og forældre, parforholdet og sorg.At jeg føler bogen er en stor og meget betydningsfuld håndrækning til alle os forældre, der kæmper en ofte meget ensom kæmp i hverdagenHvorfor jeg ikke selv arbejder med det særlige forældreskab som psykolog (endnu)At det er en priviligeret position at have et særligt forældreskab, fordi det giver en særlig visdomSkilmisseraterne blandt særlige forældre og at det muligvis er en myte, at vi oftere bliver skiltEndnu en boganbefaling om det særlige forældreskab: Natten af Sara GordanDe etiske dilemmaer i "sharenting" - når vi deler oplysninger om vores børn og forældreskab offentligtOg andet godt:)Jeg fortæller desuden også om julekalenderen DecemberRO, som nu har åben for tilmelding. Håber du - som 1200 andre - vil være med og på den måde også være med til at støtte Red Barnets arbejde, da jeg er Erhverssponsor for Red Barnet. Se mere om DecemberRO og tilmeld dig her! Derudover nævner jeg også, at jeg er vildt beæret over at være blevet nomineret til den fornemme og fantastiske pris Ka'selle-prisen, som er en pris til selvstændige.

Dr. Laura Bennet Murphy received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Duke University. She completed a Pediatric Psychology internship and post-doctoral fellowship at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University.Our conversation centers on how to talk about death with our children.

Dr. Hoet believes all children and families should have a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible. That enthusiasm extends into her desire for making sure that people of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated – a passion born from her own experience as an immigrant to the U.S. from Venezuela. Her work in this arena led her to being recognized as a Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan by the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs and an “EXTRAordinary” Volunteer by the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio for her work within the Spanish-speaking community. Dr. Hoet works in Pediatric Primary Care where she serves primarily Latino and Somali immigrant children. She is also a clinical assistant professor of Pediatrics in the Department of Pediatric Psychology and Neuropsychology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, with a role in training the next generation of behavioral health professionals who will tackle the emerging mental health crisis in children. Dr. Hoet has become a go-to national expert for outlets including USA Today, CNN, Good Morning America, and Newsweek because she is a vital public voice for youth mental health, and also because she has made an impact on countless young lives in her clinical practice. The work of On Our Sleeves and Dr. Hoet helped draw U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy to Nationwide Children's in October of 2022 to discuss the county's growing pediatric mental health crisis. In panel discussions before central Ohio business executives at Nationwide Children's, and with hundreds of college students at Otterbein University, Dr. Hoet and Dr. Murthy spoke passionately about addressing often-misunderstood mental health challenges. Dr. Hoet is the proud mom of a toddler and enjoys family time, dancing, and Ohio State football. She is also involved in Latino community events, both personally and professionally. Dr. Hoet is the co-founder and vice president of Parenting Culture, a national non-profit for culturally responsive and inclusive parenting resources and a board member of Proyecto Mariposas, the Columbus non-profit serving Latina mothers and daughters. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from The Ohio State University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She completed her residency at The University of Colorado School of Medicine and a post-doctoral fellowship at Akron Children's Hospital.

What the Bible terms as the Fall of humanity sets the backdrop for God to work out the plan of salvation for humanity. However, when you start with a faulty premise you arrive at faulty conclusions.

Governor Lamont recently signed legislation to extend Connecticut's free school lunch program through the academic year, with a $60 million price tag. Today, we talk about what free lunches mean for students. How will they benefit, what are the costs? Marlene Schwarts of UConn joins us. She says students should never have to worry about being hungry at school. The USDA recently announced new standards for nutrition in schools, including eliminating trans fats, and lowering sugar and sodium content in school lunches. Healthier lunches means increased costs in a time where we are already seeing food shortages and increased costs in labor.

There is a significant mental health care epidemic going on that has only been worsened in the past few years with the COVID pandemic. Rates of anxiety and depression are sky high, not just for adults, but for adolescents and teens as well. Our current approach to mental health care places the burden of care upon Psychiatrists and therapists and the truth is there just aren't enough people to meet the incredible demand out there. When Psychiatrists or other mental health care professionals are seeing patients, there are often not able to do so in a holistic and collaborative way - an approach that will ultimately benefit the patient more. This type of a model with better access to care is so necessary and the topic of my discussion today with Dr. Hani Talebi. We discuss: His story and journey into the world of mental health.

“Sometimes the surprise, which honestly makes me feel really good when I can give them this surprise, is ‘wow I didn't really know my child was that intelligent or had those strengths because we get caught in some of the issues.'

We've already covered a couple of episodes on sleep, including the https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/sleep/ (cultural issues associated with sleep), then more recently we talked with https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/restedchild (Dr. Chris Winter about his book The Rested Child) where we looked at sleep issues in older children.   But if you have a young child who isn't sleeping well, from the baby stage all the way up to about preschool, this episode is for you!  My guest is Macall Gordon, senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Antioch University Seattle, and who has studied young children's sleep for 20 years.  She's particularly interested in the intersection between children's temperament and their sleep, and how parents of the children she calls 'little livewires' can support these children so everyone gets more sleep.   If you have questions about sleep training - particularly when and how to do it - this episode is for you!   And if you're expecting a baby or have one under the age of one (whether this is your first or not!) you might be interested in the Right From The Start course, which is designed to help you get things right for you from the start.  We go in-depth on understanding topics like sleep, feeding, physical, mental, and emotional development, and more - both for baby and for you!   Get all the (research-backed, of course) information you need, plus a supportive community and four group coaching calls during the 8-week course.  Enrollment is open from April 3-13, and we start together on Monday April 18.  Click the picture below to learn more!     References: Macall Gordon's website, https://www.littlelivewires.com/ (Little Livewires) Adachi, Y., Sato, C., Nishino, N., Ohryoji, F., Hayama, J., & Yamagami, T.

On this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, I welcome Dr. Jenn Kuhn. We discuss everything from baby worries to how we as practitioners can help our patients as they enter parenthood. Being a parent is difficult, but it does bring some of the greatest rewards, so it's ok to give yourself a break.   Dr. Jenn Kuhn is a pediatric psychologist working in integrated primary care at Nemours Alfred I duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. She received her bachelor's degree and master's degree in psychology from Tulane University in New Orleans and received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2016. Dr. Kuhn and I crossed paths when she completed her pre-doctoral internship in Pediatric Psychology at the Munroe Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric integrated behavioral health at Nemours Alfred I duPont Hospital for Children.  In her current role, she works in two pediatric primary care clinics. Her clinics serve patients aged 0 to 21. She is responsible for providing prevention-based services, psycho-educational services, consultation and education to medical trainees and staff, warm handoffs and consultation with patients, short-term therapy, and brief intervention assessments.  Her specific areas of interest include early intervention services, postpartum depression, and anxiety screening, postpartum wellness, management of disruptive behaviors, ADHD, assessments, anxiety, and sleep in providing clinical services. She supervises psychology residents, postdoctoral fellows, and provides behavioral health education to medical students and residents.  Clearly, Dr. Kuhn is very busy in pediatric clinics. Stay tuned for the interview and hopefully, you can see where this might fit into your practice.   [00:01] Dr. Jenn Kuhn Shares Her Story with Us     Why Dr. Kuhn wanted to be a clinical psychologist Dr. Kuhn first heard of integrated behavioral health from a book and then in the middle of her graduate school career. Wanting to get involved in more preventative measures rather than reaching kids at their breaking point, she began to pursue integrated behavioral health How integrated behavioral health serves the patients Dr. Kuhn sees and why it should be regularly practiced  [13:23] New Babies and Postpartum Mothers    On Dr. Kuhn's newborn baby! And whether or not being a pediatric psychologist prepared her to be a mom  Why OBGYNs should ask how mothers are doing mentally and administer the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)  Looking to patient's partners to know them best and when to get help  40% of moms have some risk factor [22:07]  What Do Parents Need From Their Pediatrician?      Guidance, education, reassurance, and validation  With so much fear, shame, and bad advice surrounding motherhood, we as practitioners need to support our patients by giving them a nurturing environment in which they are comfortable to ask questions and not ashamed.    Ask how your patients are doing: The asking is in and of itself therapeutic, because it helps kind of chase away shame that if I'm asking you, it must not be that bad, that you would share that something difficult happening  Don't worry if every moment of motherhood doesn't feel magical  Even if all you can do is provide some resources, and be there to listen, that helps immensely      [42:31] Closing Segment  Wishing Dr. Jenn Kuhn well as she returns to work  Final Takeaways:  1. Integrated behavioral health is the integration of mental health professionals in medical settings, working side by side 2. Parents are beginning to seek out integrated behavioral health clinicians 3. Being a psychology professional

Dr. Alana Lopez opens up about her early journey learning what it means to be a conscious parent.   We have to do the inner work first for conscious parenting.  What was the area of her life that she felt stuck in originally regarding parenting?  What is the ‘dial' for Dr. Alana Lopez that makes her days graceful?   In the midst of all of our ‘doing,' we have to incorporate ‘being' to recharge.   The importance of parenting with power and grace.   What is the conscious parenting approach that Dr. Alana Lopez uses when she is working with families?   We can get too caught up in labels for our kids and ourselves.   Honor where you are at in the moment without judgement. 90% of the time we are just going through life based on old habits.  Don't be afraid to show your kid that you are not perfect.   What does she mean by ‘space creator?'   Parents should be the ultimate safety signal.  What does Dr. Alana Lopez mean by being an ‘energy shifter,' ‘emotion detective,' ‘connection maker,' and ‘accountability partner'?  What advice does Dr. Alana Lopez have for parents that feel like they are failing?    3 Key Points: The book that helped to transform Dr. Alana Lopez is The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children by Dr. Shefali Tsabary.  Honor your child that stands before you and make sure their voice is being heard and understood.   We can sit with our feelings and acknowledge them and open up the door to new possibilities.    Tweetable Quotes: “I really decided at that point, like, I have a son coming into the world and I want to be all-in. In order for me to be all-in, I have to take care of myself. I have to be in touch with myself and really get back to the roots of what's important.” – Dr. Alana Lopez “We are all humans in this together. We all have a story to tell that is so worthy and deserving of being heard.” – Dr. Alana Lopez “Our children are our teachers and they are here for a reason. It is so powerful just to see your child through that fresh lens." – Dr. Alana Lopez “I think for me, the biggest ‘aha' in that area was what was my relationship with my emotions were, and to really look at that relationship. That relationship is very heavily influenced by how we were raised.” – Dr. Alana Lopez “It is finding refuge in the simple things, like just taking a nap or just sitting with your child on the couch, with no TV.” – Dr. Alana Lopez “Great parenting is not about doing things quote-unquote ‘right' or not yelling. It is about getting curious about what triggers us, knowing why we fall back into old patterns without self-judgement, making a conscious effort to try something different.” – Dr. Alana Lopez   Resources Mentioned: Alanalopezphd.com Linkedin for Dr. Alana Lopez

WW recently acquired Kurbo, a weight loss/nutrition app for kids 8-13. Your child can start tracking everything she eats and get feedback on her choices using a red, yellow, green traffic light system. Red light foods include candy and soda.  Can you imagine an 8-year old needing to concern herself with this? Can you see where this will lead? The child may already feel bad about herself after being told by parents or a doctor that she needs to lose weight. Now she has to scrutinize everything she puts in her mouth... and she is EIGHT YEARS OLD! This latest episode is my voice saying NO to the new Kurbo diet app for kids. I realize many parents are meaning well if they choose to use this for their kids but I'm here to say you can do this DIFFERENTLY! Please don't make it about weight, calories, and size for our kids. This will only set them up for a lifetime of chronic dieting and potentially an eating disorder.  Here are some studies I mention in this episode with regard to children dieting listed on the National Eating Disorders Association website:  In a large study of 14– and 15-year-olds, dieting was the most important predictor of a developing eating disorder. Those who dieted moderately were 5x more likely to develop an eating disorder, and those who practiced extreme restriction were 18x more likely to develop an eating disorder than those who did not diet. - Golden, N. H., Schneider, M., & Wood, C. (2016). Preventing Obesity and Eating Disorders in Adolescents. Pediatrics, 138(3). doi:10.1542/peds.2016-1649  62.3% of teenage girls and 28.8% of teenage boys report trying to lose weight. 58.6% of girls and 28.2% of boys are actively dieting. 68.4% of girls and 51% of boys exercise with the goal of losing weight or to avoid gaining weight. - The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.

(2005). I’m, Like, SO Fat!.New York: Guilford. 35-57% of adolescent girls engage in crash dieting, fasting, self-induced vomiting, diet pills, or laxatives.

Today’s episode is a one-on-one conversation between Jon and Robyn, developing our conversation from Episode 04 (“The One Introducing Theology of Children”) by exploring the specifics of childhood decision-making. Does it happen? Is it important? How can adults more effectively foster integral meaning-making and existential authenticity in childhood development? Before this discussion, however, we address the differences between Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving, debate the problematics of putting up Christmas decorations during Advent, and analyze the inclusion of Advent wreaths in liturgy. Robyn then gives an overview of contemporary bioethical debates regarding childhood decisions, especially as her own work contests a number of the field’s unexamined assumptions. Robyn wraps up the discussion by sharing her rather morbid Treasure New, and soliciting your feedback about corresponding Treasures Old, then we say goodbye.

“HOW DO I GET MY CHILD TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT?!” is the thinly-veiled message under the surface of many of the emails that I get about sleep.  And I don’t blame you.  I don’t claim to be a magician in this regard, although I did get incredibly, amazingly lucky – my daughter put in her first eight-hour night at six weeks old, and has regularly slept through the night for longer than I can remember.  I’m really genuinely not sure I could parent if things weren’t like this. But today’s episode is about the data, not about anecdata. Zoe in Sydney wrote to me: A hotly debated topic with my friends has been “sleeping through the night.” My daughter never was great at napping and still wakes up once a night, coming into our bed. We have never been able to do controlled crying etc – I would love to know what science says about sleeping through the night! And what is best for your child (vs the parent). My close friend is a breastfeeding counselor and said they are taught that lots of children don’t sleep through until 4 years old! Other mothers I knew were horrified if their child wasn’t sleeping through by 6 months – and the French talk about their children ‘having their nights’ much earlier… As I started researching this topic it became clear that sleep is driven to an incredible extent by cultural preferences.  Some (Western) psychologists advocate for letting children Cry It Out, while people in many cultures around the world see putting a child to sleep in their own room (never mind allowing them to cry) as tantamount to child abuse. So: can we get our children to sleep more?  Is bed-sharing inherently bad?  Does Cry It Out harm the child in some way?  Let’s find out! References Amoabeng, A.O. (2010).
