Podcasts about raise healthier children

In this episode, psychologist and author of The Crucial Years Dr. Sheryl Ziegler joins me to shine a light on the unique needs and challenges of raising 6-12 year olds - a period often overlooked in parenting conversations, despite being a period of massive emotional, social, and biological development.   Together we explore:   Why puberty is starting younger than ever, what's driving this trend, and how stress and environment play a critical role. How to tell when your child's “teenage” behaviors (like slamming doors or talking back) are developmentally normal versus when they may be signaling something more. How to foster self-esteem and emotional regulation using Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages as a framework. What “industriousness” versus “inferiority” means for kids—and why understanding this distinction matters so much for healthy development. How parenting styles are being shaped by the internet, social norms, and cultural messaging—and how to stay grounded in what your individual child needs. Why the pandemic had a unique impact on kids in this age range and how that continues to show up in surprising ways. Actionable strategies for parents of middle-year kids, including emotional attunement, helping them name and understand nuanced feelings, and how to have brave conversations about tough topics.   With humor, warmth, and deep clinical insight, Dr. Ziegler offers a compassionate reminder that while the middle years may fly under the radar, they are foundational—and your presence during this time matters more than you think.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Sheryl Ziegler, Psy.D. is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Play Therapist in private practice. She is the author of Mommy Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in the Process. In this important episode, we talk about what keeps parents up at night when it comes to feeling over-whelmed and burned out while raising teens. Key Takeaways New research indicates that the biggest concern parents have today is about their teen's mental health. The adolescent brain is wired to seek out reward by engaging in high-risk behavior. Parents still have the most influence over their teens. Even though your teen may suggest differently, they are listening to you. Your voice is in their head. Parents need to talk with their teens about their family values. What's ok and what's not Parents can learn to collaborate with other parents who are trusted confidants to talk about the issues at hand. Smart phones and online engagement is one of the biggest contributors to teen mental health concerns. Their brain can be inundated with stressful information about worldwide issues that they are not equipped to process. Social media is an addiction. When your teen is ready to talk, it's important for you to be there for them. Puberty is happening at an earlier age for most kids and they are experiencing body changes at a time when their brain is not ready to understand the changes.

What you are about to hear is an unexpected conversation that started out as an on air coaching call.  Katie, the mother of 4 children from Australia had signed up to be coached on air a while ago. She has been one of my faithful listeners. I reached out and as she began speaking I soon realized that this not a coaching episode, that  I need to hold space for her to share her story. Because it reminded me of the other stories I hear. Women are struggling. They feel overwhelmed, alone, isolated, drained, needing of emotional support, even those in “happy” marriages.  The emotional load of motherhood is taking a toll on their mental health, well-being, relationships and parenting. The invisible workload of being a mother is killing women.  I do not have a solution but I know that we need to stop this silent epidemic. That’s why we are having conversations. That’s why we are sharing stories. Real stories. Stories that are hard to hear. Stories such as mine, in episode 194, The Dark Side of Motherhood, or Kelly's in episode 202, Setting Healthy Boundaries without Feeling Guilty or Mommy Burnout, episode 144, How To Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in The Process.  Today, Katie is joining me from the mental hospital where she checked herself in.  This is one of the heaviest episodes of the podcast and the subject matter and the story it might be triggering, so listener discretion is advised.  Let this brave sharing give voice to the many untold stories of women who are silently suffering under the heavy load of modern motherhood.  Yes, it does take a village to raise children. But where is the village? It’s a ghost town.  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1. With your support we can continue the production of the podcast uninterruptedly.

Are you trying to be “the perfect mom?” Think you’re “not very good at being a mother…?”  This podcast and book are for you! Mommy Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in the Process Although the title of this book, by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, might sound like a book for mothers of younger children, be assured that it’s not. Moms of teenagers experience burnout too, and can benefit from not only listening to this podcast but also reading the book. Burnout has its symptoms and it has its remedies, and Dr. Ziegler is an expert in both. In our podcast, Dr. Ziegler talks about how burnout can affect so many parts of a woman’s life: friendships, partnerships, work, and of course, our kids. The podcast is a great introduction to a book I highly recommend. Dr. Ziegler can be found at www.drsherylziegler.com; and the book at www.mommyburnout.com.

Kathryn interviews childhood and family expert Sheryl Ziegler PhD, author of “Mommy Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in the Process”. Dr. Ziegler is identifying mommy burnout as a true epidemic, one that's jeopardizing the emotional and physical health of women today. She is a regular local FOX News contributor, a panelist on NBC Morning News, and is featured on The Katie Couric Show and The Denver Post. Kathryn also interviews Samuel Harrington MD, author of “At Peace: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life”. Most people say they would like to die quietly at home. But overly aggressive medical advice coupled with an unrealistic sense of invincibility results in many elderly patients misguidedly dying in institutions while undergoing painful procedures. Through experience with his own parents and patients Dr. Harrington has developed specific steps to ensure last days pass comfortably at home or in hospice, when further aggressive care is inappropriate.
