Podcasts about raising resilient kids

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Brandon Webb, former U.S. Navy SEAL, Course Manager of the elite SEAL Sniper Program, and New York Times bestselling author, to talk about his new book, Puddle Jumpers, and the uncomfortable argument at its center. The same mental management principles Brandon used to transform sniper training, including the visualization and self-talk frameworks developed by 1976 Olympic gold medalist Lanny Bassham, turned out to be just as powerful when applied to raising kids. The result is a parenting philosophy built not on protection but on preparation: letting children fail, experience consequences, and do hard things early so that they develop the roots to withstand whatever comes later. It's a conversation that will make a lot of parents uncomfortable and probably make their kids' lives a lot better. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Parenting doesn't need to swing between being overly strict and overly permissive. When you understand what's driving your child's behaviour, everything becomes clearer, calmer, and more manageable.

We cover attachment, boundaries, emotional regulation, and how small shifts in your approach can reduce daily struggles and create more connection at home. Todd and I talk about: • Why behaviour is often a symptom of unmet emotional needs, not defiance• How to move away from reactive parenting and become more proactive• What “attachment-first parenting” actually looks like in everyday life• How to set firm, calm boundaries without yelling or being harsh• What to do when your child is pushing limits, melting down, or acting out• Why emotional outbursts are a sign your child needs support, not control• How to support your child through big emotions without escalating the situation• Practical strategies to help your child build resilience and emotional regulation• Simple self-care tools to help you stay calm and respond instead of react Todd Sarner is a licensed psychotherapist, a parenting coach and the director of Transformative Parenting. Mentored by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and trained by leading relationship experts Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Stan Tatkin, Todd helps parents strengthen connection, improve emotional regulation, and address behaviour challenges using practical, attachment-based strategies. His signature Transformative Parenting Process Intensive (TPPI) has become a lifeline for thoughtful parents who've “tried everything” but still find themselves stuck in daily battles.

Dr. Leah Snodgrass joins host Dr. Mike Chupp for a conversation about the mental health crisis facing children and adolescents today. Rates of anxiety and depression among young people have doubled since the pandemic, yet access to care, especially in rural and underserved communities, remains critically out of reach. Dr. Snodgrass is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and Chair of Psychiatry at Lincoln Memorial University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, and she has spent her career on the front lines of this crisis. In this episode, she and Dr. Chupp dig into what it actually looks like to care for the next generation with clinical excellence, real compassion, and Christ at the center.

Anger, silence, and shutdown can look like “bad communication,” but what if it's really fear, sadness, and pressure with nowhere to go? I sit down with Bozeman mental health therapist and Pre-licensed therapist, Adam Thorne to pull back the curtain on what men are struggling with right now, especially dads and partners trying to hold it all together. Adam is the host of Forging Forward, who also shares his podcast highlights at https://www.instagram.com/forgingforwardpodcast/.  Today, we talk honestly about loneliness, the weight of providing, and the expectation-versus-reality whiplash that leaves so many men feeling behind before they've even found their footing.Adam shares what he sees in men's groups and therapy: when men get the chance to express real emotion, the room doesn't judge it as weak, it recognizes it as brave. That single shift often brings immediate relief, better decision-making, and a clearer path forward. We also explore how “leaning into responsibility” can raise self-confidence and reduce the sense of overwhelm, not through toughness, but through grounded, consistent action that matches your values.If you're partnered with someone who gets angry or walls up, we dig into practical ways to respond: hold empathy, don't diagnose in the moment, and try to see the iceberg under the tip. The same skills that support sustainable parenting, balancing kindness with firmness, can also transform adult conflict into connection.If this resonates, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more parents can find the show.✨Want more?  ✨JOIN me in an upcoming event: https://sustainableparenting.com/events✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.

Garrett shares his journey from the military to Washington, D.C., the lessons he and his wife have learned raising resilient kids, why sports and discipline matter, and why America is hungry for more family-friendly, pro-American storytelling.

You've said it. I've said it. We've all said it: "Don't worry — kids are resilient." But what if that phrase, however well-meaning, is actually doing more harm than good?In this powerful episode, Celia Kibler sits down with Stacy Schaffer, MA, LPC — a dedicated children's and adolescent therapist with over 20 years of experience, Founder of Strong Hearts Counseling in Arvada, Colorado, and author of the brand-new book With Love from a Children's Therapist — for a conversation every parent needs to hear.Stacy brings her whole self to this episode: her clinical expertise, her deeply personal story, and the raw honesty that has made her one of the most trusted voices in children's mental health. Together, she and Celia dig into the real meaning of resilience, why kids' emotions don't just "go away," and what parents can do right now to raise children who are truly equipped for life — not just surviving it.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeResilience is earned — not assumed.Stacy challenges the popular belief that kids automatically bounce back from trauma or loss. When we call children resilient without addressing their emotions, we may be unknowingly teaching them to suppress what they feel. Stacy shares her own heartbreaking experience of losing her mother and being praised for her "strength" — only to realize later that the praise made her afraid to actually grieve.Your child's brain isn't finished — and that changes everything.The human brain doesn't fully develop until age 25. That means your child literally does not have the neurological tools to process trauma, regulate impulse, or reason through emotion the way an adult can. Celia and Stacy explore what this means for everyday parenting — including why asking "Why did you do that?" is often one of the least effective questions you can ask.The hidden danger of "bedroom kids."Celia raises a crucial warning for parents of tweens and teens: when children disappear into their rooms and disengage from family life, parents lose visibility into their emotional world. One TikTok, one Snapchat moment of exclusion — and a child can spiral into isolation or depression without a parent even knowing it happened.Tech, social media, and the tracking trap.Snap Maps. Find My Friends. Being "left on red." Stacy and Celia get real about how digital tools designed for safety and connection are being used by kids to surveil, exclude, and hurt one another — and how parents can stay aware without turning their kids into expert secret-keepers.The question that changes everything.Stacy ends the episode with one simple, transformative question that every parent can start using today — a question that invites your child in, validates their experience, and builds the kind of trust that lasts a lifetime.Stacy Schaffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor, the Founder and Director of Strong Hearts Counseling in Arvada, Colorado, and the author of With Love from a Children's Therapist: #lessonsihavelearnedalongtheway (2025). With over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 3–30, Stacy specializes in grief, trauma, and Synergetic Play Therapy. She is also a trauma survivor herself, and her book weaves together her personal story with the wisdom she's gathered on both sides of the therapy couch.

In this episode, I sit down with parenting expert and founder of Good Inside, Dr. Becky Kennedy, to talk about building resilience for our kids and finding patience in parenting. We break down the difference between “sturdy” parenting and “gentle” parenting, how to set boundaries with your kids while staying emotionally connected, and why our job as parents isn't to make our kids happy all the time. Dr. Becky shares practical parenting tips for handling big feelings and difficult behaviors (especially hitting and tantrums), why allowing space for all feelings actually builds confidence, mom rage, the importance of repair, and why the perfect parent doesn't and shouldn't exist. Key Takeaway / Points:Dr. Becky's Good Inside approach for building resilience and confidence in kidsWhat "sturdy parenting" actually meansWhy optimizing for your kid's happiness right now could be wiring them for anxiety laterHow to handle hitting in toddlers: what to do in the moment and how to prevent it from happening againHer “sitting on the feelings bench" concept and why sitting with your kid's hard emotions is actually the key to raising a confident adultHow to repair after you've lost it on your kids (because we all do)Why “mom guilt” doesn't help anyoneWhat to expect from Good Inside BabyColoring confessionals: the myth of being a perfect parent, most overrated parenting advice, and her favorite go-to parenting hackThis episode is sponsored by Genexa - the first clean medicine company offering medicine to help with fever, cough, colds, and even aches & pains.

Send us Fan MailThank you, Steve Garraty, for making today's episode possible!Our next guest beat leukemia as a kid, got cut from a football team that “doesn't cut anyone,” and still grew up believing the hard thing wasn't a sign to quit, it was proof he was built for it. That's why this conversation with Bishoy Tadros hits so deep for anyone thinking about fatherhood, resilience, and what it really means to lead at home.  Bishoy is the author of two acclaimed books—Break Barriers: How Setbacks Can Dare You Rather Than Define You and Audacious: Uncaging Your Authentic Self—and the creator and host of the Mile 40 Podcast. Mile 40 has quickly become a standout in the health, wellness, and personal growth space, known for its compelling interviews with athletes, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who have turned adversity into opportunity.  He is also a very talented Sr. Account Executive for SalesForce.We talk about his family's immigrant journey from Egypt to the United States for treatment, and the three values his parents modeled through action: patience, perspective, and purpose. Bishoy explains how his dad, a Coptic Orthodox priest, served a community with calm consistency without forcing religion on anyone, and how that example shaped how he shows up as a husband and a dad. We also get honest about a modern parenting challenge: how do you teach empathy, selflessness, and healthy struggle when your kids grow up with more comfort than you did?Then the story pivots to the moment that gave Beshoy's own podcast its name. After reaching Wall Street and realizing achievement didn't equal fulfillment, he chased a long-buried athletic identity and trained for an Ironman 70.3. At mile 40, dehydrated and ready to quit, he used one simple tool to finish: celebrate small wins, one mile at a time. That mindset helped him run marathons, raise serious money for charity, and become the first Egyptian to complete all seven World Marathon Majors.If you care about parenting, mindset, endurance, and values-based leadership, you'll want to hear this one.

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Binus and Amanda Anguish discuss how parents can help their children build resilience in a fast-paced, high-stress world. They explore common myths about protecting kids from difficulty, the impact of media and social media on resilience, and practical ways parents can build competence, confidence, character, and emotional coping skills in their children. They also discuss the importance of connection, routine, and helping children find meaning and purpose through contribution and faith.—

If gentle parenting has left you stuck in endless negotiating, second-guessing every “no,” and feeling like your child's emotions run the whole house, this episode introduces a different path.Welcome to the 2026 parenting shift: Hybrid Parenting.In this episode of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, parenting coach and counselor Flora McCormick explains why many families are moving beyond traditional gentle parenting toward a hybrid parenting approach that blends warmth, emotional connection, and respect with clear boundaries and calm follow-through.Hybrid parenting keeps the best parts of gentle parenting—connection, empathy, and respectful communication—while letting go of the patterns that often lead to power struggles, parental exhaustion, and powerless adults.You'll hear:• Why gentle parenting sometimes turns into endless negotiating • What hybrid parenting looks like in real life • How to set calm, respectful boundaries without yelling • Why resilience matters more than patience in parenting • How kids build confidence, responsibility, and emotional strength when adults lead with both kindness and firmnessThis approach reflects what many parents are discovering: kids thrive when adults are both connected and confidently in charge.The goal isn't control or compliance. It's raising resilient, confident kids while helping parents feel calmer, steadier, and more effective in everyday family life.If you're ready for parenting without yelling, fewer power struggles, and a more sustainable way to lead your family, this episode is for you.✨Want more?  ✨JOIN me in an upcoming event: https://sustainableparenting.com/events✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.

Inside, she explores:   → What stretching is—and why intentionally letting kids struggle through slightly uncomfortable situations builds resilience, frustration tolerance, and confidence (the opposite of helicopter parenting or overprotective parenting) → The critical question to ask when kids engage in undesired behavior (transition tantrums, meltdowns, refusal): what skill are they missing that would reduce this behavior's frequency or intensity? → How scaffolding works in real life: meeting kids where they are (the task feels too hard, they're overwhelmed) while still stretching them toward mastery—with examples from speech therapy sessions and everyday moments like zipping a coat or handling sibling conflict → Why letting kids struggle through hard things without rescuing them is one of the most loving things you can do—and how to support them without fixing it or taking the discomfort away → The real-life coaching example: a child making unsafe choices at school and using manipulation ("you're not listening to me!") to avoid consequences—and why the parents had to hold the boundary even when the child was upset, because stretch moments teach kids they have the power to make good choices no matter their environment → How to stretch yourself as an adult if you're a people-pleaser or overgiver: setting boundaries with loved ones without over-explaining, saying no without guilt, negotiating your worth, and getting comfortable being uncomfortable—because staying small to keep others comfortable is exhausting   Resources & Links:   Mentioned in This Episode:   → Scaffolding: meeting kids where they are developmentally while stretching them toward growth and skill-building → Life coaching with Albiona (focused on unblocking patterns, setting boundaries, and building resilience for parents and individuals)   Connect with Albiona:   → Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching - Parent or Life Coaching) - https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching → Follow Albiona on Instagram - @theparentingreframe → Follow Albiona on TikTok - @theparentingreframe → Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community - https://theparentingreframe.substack.com → Email Albiona: albiona@theparentingreframe.com   Loved this episode?   Please rate, review, and share it with a parent who's constantly rescuing their kids from discomfort, a helicopter parent ready to let their child struggle and grow, a people-pleaser who can't say no without guilt, or anyone ready to stop staying small and start stretching into growth.   Because the truth is: resilience isn't built in the easy moments. It's built when things feel hard and we do them anyway—and then we realize we're stronger than we thought. And our kids? They're stronger than we give them credit for.   Until next time, Albiona

Parenting. Just that one word is enough to make your shoulders tighten, isn't it?   In this episode, I sit down with Randi Crawford — certified life coach, speaker, author, and mom — to talk honestly about what it actually takes to raise kids who can handle life when you're not there to fix it for them.   Randi spent years coaching young women before she realized the real work needed to happen one generation up — with the moms. What she found, over and over, was that the struggle these girls were experiencing traced directly back to one thing: parents who loved their kids so much they were accidentally getting in the way.   We talk about why confidence can't be handed to a child through compliments, how social media has quietly eroded the trust moms have in their own instincts, and why the line between love and control is thinner than most of us want to admit.   My own kids are 16 and 19 at the time of this recording. More than once during this conversation, I had to pause and sit with some honest self-reflection. I think you will too.   If you're a mom and a woman entrepreneur, this one will speak to you in more ways than one.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why confidence is built through action — not compliments — and what that means for how we show up for our kids How social media has gaslit an entire generation of moms out of trusting their own gut The difference between helping your child and robbing them of something essential Why independence is the actual goal of parenting — and what stepping back actually looks like in practice How the lessons Randi teaches about raising resilient kids mirror what we work through every day in business   CONNECT WITH RANDI CRAWFORD Website: https://www.randicrawfordcoaching.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/randicrawfordcoaching TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@randicrawfordcoaching   ABOUT RANDI CRAWFORD Meet Randi Crawford, a life coach, speaker, and mom redefining resilience for the next generation.

Are today's kids struggling with anxiety, ADHD, brain fog, mood swings, and energy crashes more than ever before? What if the root cause isn't just behavioral—but metabolic?In this powerful conversation, Ali Miller joins Matt Beaudreau to explore the deep connection between nutrition, brain function, and leadership development in young people.Ali Miller, RD is a functional medicine dietitian, author, and educator known for her evidence-based approach to using nutrition as a tool for whole-body health. She specializes in the intersection of food, metabolism, and brain function—helping individuals and families understand how diet influences mood, cognition, immune health, and chronic disease risk. Through her work, Ali teaches practical strategies for reducing ultra-processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, supporting gut health, and optimizing nutrition to address issues such as anxiety, ADHD, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation.Ali is the author of several books—including The Anti‑Anxiety Diet, The Anti‑Anxiety Diet Cookbook, and Naturally Nourished Kids—where she provides science-backed guidance and practical recipes to help families build healthier food habits. She also hosts the Naturally Nourished Podcast, where she explores topics ranging from functional nutrition and detoxification to children's health and metabolic wellness.In this episode, Ali breaks down complex science into simple concepts every parent can understand—like oxidative stress, blood sugar crashes, gut-brain connection, and how ultra-processed foods can influence behavior, focus, and emotional regulation in children.You'll also learn practical strategies for handling picky eaters, improving protein intake, balancing blood sugar, and creating a healthy family food culture that supports long-term wellness and leadership capacity.If you're a parent, educator, or coach working with young people, this episode will challenge how you think about nutrition—and show how food can become one of the most powerful tools for mental clarity, emotional regulation, and performance.Quotes:“Food is medicine—but it's also a double-edged sword.”“Kids don't just need calories—they need nutrients that fuel their brain.”“When families run multiple food systems in one kitchen, the weakest system usually wins.”Takeaways:Balance blood sugar by pairing carbohydrates with protein or healthy fats.Increase protein intake to support brain development and emotional regulation.Involve kids in food decisions and preparation to reduce resistance and increase buy-in.Focus on progress, not perfection when transitioning away from processed foods.Conclusion:Nutrition isn't just about physical health—it's about mental clarity, emotional stability, and leadership capacity. As Ali Miller explains, the food we eat directly influences our brain function, behavior, and long-term wellbeing.By focusing on whole foods, balanced meals, and intentional family food culture, parents can give their children a powerful advantage in life—helping them grow into healthy, capable leaders.Learn More About Ali Miller:Website: https://www.alimillerrd.comPodcast: https://www.alimillerrd.com/podcastProfessional Education (Naturally Nourished Academy): https://www.alimillerrd.com/academyBooks:The Anti-Anxiety Diethttps://www.alimillerrd.com/the-anti-anxiety-dietThe Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook https://www.alimillerrd.com/the-anti-anxiety-diet-cookbookNaturally Nourished Kids https://www.alimillerrd.com/naturally-nourished-kidsAli's mission is to empower people with the knowledge to use food as medicine, helping them create sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term health for themselves and their families.

In this heartwarming and deeply practical follow-up episode, host Dr. Jodi Richardson continues her insightful conversation with Dr. Jessica Borelli, clinical psychologist, professor, and parenting researcher. Together, they explore how letting go, stepping back, and allowing our kids to make mistakes can actually build their confidence, resilience, and sense of self. Jessica shares fascinating research and real-life stories about reflective functioning (or mentalising)—understanding what’s behind your child’s behaviour - and how stress, sensitivity, and our own anxieties can influence the way we parent.Plus, Dr. Jodi opens up about her own “helping instinct” as a mum and what she’s learning about presence, trust, and connection. Whether you’re raising little ones or teens, this episode will leave you feeling supported, inspired, and more confident in your parenting journey.

You think it can't happen in your community—until it does. In this episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel sits down with Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow Pollack, who was murdered in the Parkland school shooting. Andrew speaks candidly about the permanent devastation of losing a child, the policy failures that led to the tragedy, and why parents can no longer afford to remain passive about school safety. This conversation explores accountability, school security measures that actually work, law enforcement response, modern parenting challenges, and the uncomfortable truth that change begins locally—not politically.

What if “magic” isn't fantasy — it's the way a child learns to trust themselves? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, author and coach Terry Bean shares why a children's book can quietly become a lifelong emotional toolkit. This episode is for parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone raising young minds in a noisy world. You'll hear how simple story moments, empathy-led questions, and a child-friendly mantra can help kids build self-esteem, reduce approval-seeking, and grow into kinder, steadier adults. About the Guest: Terry Bean is an author, speaker, and executive coach, and the creator of the children's book Abracadabra and a companion coloring book. She writes to help children build trust in themselves and their “inner wizard.” Episode Chapters: 03:31 “Magic is perspective” — why stories shape belief early 05:09 Building the “wizard within”: self-trust in a noisy world 09:49 The real shift: inner approval vs. chasing validation 12:53 Respect is listening with intent — not trying to win 14:18 Why people open up to AI: fear of being judged 17:04 How parents can use the book: questions, feelings, mantras Key Takeaways: Ask kids “How do you feel?” during the story — then gently ask “Why?” to open real conversations. Teach inner approval early so confidence isn't built on constant external validation. Pair confidence with empathy: strength without kindness disconnects us. Use simple mantras kids can remember (example shared: “Everything is always working out for me.”). Turn reading into a shared experience, not a lesson — the bond is the message. Help children practice listening with intent, so respect becomes a habit.

If your child is melting down over small things and nothing you say seems to help, this episode will completely change how you see the problem — and give you a clear, research-backed plan to fix it.Episode SummaryIn this episode of the Raising Resilient Kids Podcast, Tom and Jeannie sit down with Resilience Expert and educator Talia Kovacs, founder of Calm Connected. Talia brings a rare perspective to the resilience conversation — one grounded in 17+ years of classroom teaching, literacy coaching across hundreds of schools, and teaching Raising Resilient Kids, her own parent empowerment program.Talia opens with a game-changing mindset shift: parents need to think less like engineers (expecting specific inputs to produce specific outputs) and more like gardeners — observing, adjusting, and trusting that there is TIME to make positive changes. This reframe alone reduces parental anxiety and creates a calmer household climate.From there, Talia walks through her powerful three-step resilience framework: starting with yourself (because resilience is modeled, not taught), creating the right conditions at home through sustainable systems and structures, and finally building your child's inner capacity. Critically, she explains why so many parents want to skip straight to step three — and why that always backfires.You'll also discover why resilience is built through connection and community (not grit), and the one simple thing — delighting in your children — that you can start doing this week to shift the entire dynamic at home.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why resilience is modeled, not taught — and what that means for YOU as a parentTalia's 3-step resilience framework: Start with yourself → Create conditions → Build capacityHow to use your child's unique strengths as the foundation for resilienceWhy kids need time to 'fail privately' — and why this is disappearing from childhoodThe research truth about resilience: it's built in community, not by pushing harderOne action you can take THIS WEEK to start transforming your home environmentAbout Talia KovacsTalia Kovacs is the founder of Calm Connected and creator of the Raising Resilient Kids class. A former classroom teacher and graduate-level education professor, Talia spent years as the CEO of Lit Life, an international literacy consulting firm, coaching teachers across hundreds of schools on social-emotional based literacy. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the Today Show, and Scholastic.

We've built elite athletes. But are we building strong humans? In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, I sit down with Gary Thrapp — youth sports advocate, author, and owner of Beyond The Baseline — to talk about where youth sports is headed… and what it's costing us. This conversation isn't soft. It's real. About Gary Thrapp With over 40 years in youth sports, Gary Thrapp has facilitated more than 50,000 games at his facility in Davenport, Iowa 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . He's the owner of Beyond The Baseline, a premier basketball and volleyball event center, and author of The Wild World of Youth Sports. Gary focuses on: Leadership development Character formation Community engagement Creating equitable opportunities for kids He works on the front lines of youth development every single day 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . And what he's seeing should get every parent's attention. What We Covered 1️⃣ NIL & The Business of Youth Sports The money conversation isn't going away. But when recruiting replaces development… When metrics replace fundamentals… When ego replaces effort… We have a problem. We talked about: NIL filtering down to youth levels The transfer portal mindset Winning vs. developing Recruiting talent vs. building skill 2️⃣ The Hidden Epidemic: Phones & Attention Gary told a story that hit me hard. A third grader asked him: "Why are you making us work while the adults are staring at their phones?" That's leadership. From a third grader. We discussed: Attention spans collapsing Coaches competing with TikTok Parents missing the moments The competitive edge of focus If you want your child to have an advantage? Put the phone down. 3️⃣ Developing a Success Map Gary's book Developing Your Success Map centers on one powerful idea: Ask kids what matters to them. Not what matters to you. We talked about: Purpose Dreams Monthly and daily goals Asking questions instead of lecturing You don't build resilience by talking at kids. You build it by engaging them. 4️⃣ Character > Highlight Reels You can recruit talent. Or you can develop it. You can chase wins. Or you can build people. The scoreboard isn't the ultimate measure. Character is. Resources Mentioned GaryThrapp.com BeyondTheBaseline.net The Wild World of Youth Sports (Available on Amazon) 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… Leading Winning Teams (Trent M. Clark)

Margaret talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins, author of the new book PARENTING ANXIETY, about how anxiety really works—and how parents can stop unintentionally reinforcing it in themselves and their kids. Dr. Elkins, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program, shares insights from her new book Parenting Anxiety: Breaking the Cycle of Worry and Raising Resilient Kids. Together, they unpack why anxiety isn't something to eliminate, how avoidance makes fear stronger, and why modern “intensive parenting” may be increasing anxiety for both parents and children. You'll learn the three key markers that distinguish normal anxiety from an anxiety disorder (interference, distress, and duration), why psychological flexibility is one of the most important skills we can teach kids, and how cognitive behavioral therapy—especially exposure—helps people face fear instead of shrinking from it. This conversation offers practical, compassionate tools for parents who want to support anxious kids without over-accommodating, and for anyone who wants to change their relationship with anxiety itself.

Summary:In this episode of the Better Divorce podcast, host Paulette Rigo speaks with parenting coach and psychotherapist Todd Sarner about the complexities of parenting in today's technology-driven world. They discuss Todd's upcoming book, 'The Calm and Connected Parent,' which emphasizes the importance of attachment in parenting. The conversation explores the challenges posed by technology, the significance of secure attachment, and the dynamics of co-parenting, especially in the context of divorce. Todd shares insights on how to balance technology use with parenting, the importance of connection, and the role of parents in fostering resilience in children.Takeaways:Parenting is more about who you are than what you do.Attachment first parenting prioritizes relationships over discipline.Technology can hinder children's ability to form secure attachments.Parents need to agree on technology use for their children.Children benefit from limits and boundaries set with compassion.Connection is essential before setting limits with children.Secure attachment is the key determinant of a child's potential.Co-parenting requires communication and alignment between parents.Children often seek connection through technology when they lack it in real life.Understanding attachment science can improve parenting strategies.About Todd:Todd Sarner is a parenting coach and psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping families create more connection, calm, and cooperation at home. A former Faculty Member of the Neufeld Institute, Todd has guided more than 2,000 families through the daily struggles of parenting—power struggles, meltdowns, and family stress—always with an attachment-first lens.

In a world filled with distraction, content overload, and cultural confusion, raising children who are wise, discerning, and grounded can feel daunting. In this episode, Davies Owens sits down with Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, to explore how families can recover wisdom in America through small, faithful practices at home rather than sweeping overhauls.Marissa challenges parents to reclaim confidence as their children's primary educators and encourages them to start with “micro, atomic habits” that build courage and clarity over time. Together, they discuss why young people are surrounded by information yet starving for meaning, and how virtue, responsibility, and service shape true maturity.

But underneath all of that, what really shapes a student who can thrive in competitive academics and in life?  In this episode, Thomas Caleel talks with Mario Mendez, Community Accountability Manager and Senior Program Staff at Wilderness Youth Project (WYP) in Santa Barbara, about how nature, unstructured exploration, and real-world challenge help kids build the resilience, awareness, and confidence they need long before they ever apply to college. Mario draws on decades of experience working with young people in South America, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Together, he and Thomas unpack how nature-based programs can support mental health, reduce stress, and help students develop a stronger sense of self – and why those qualities matter so much in highly selective college admissions. Key Topics & Takeaways Education beyond the classroom Why real education includes social emotional learning, self-awareness, and lived experience, not just what happens in class. Nature as a tool for awareness and belonging How tracking, observation, and time outdoors teach kids to notice their surroundings, read a room, and understand their impact on others. Access, equity, and Bridge to Nature How programs like WYP's Bridge to Nature serve under resourced students, and why nature connection is not just for "outdoorsy" or privileged families. What families can do anywhere Practical ways to build nature connection in cities and suburbs using small routines: a single tree, a window, a daily walk, or attention to seasonal changes. Storytelling, resilience, and admissions How a rich inner life, curiosity, and the ability to tell your own story show up in college essays and in the way students move through school and life.
