Nov. 29th, 2021 – In this week's episode, the ladies are diving into TEENS! Though still a few years away from this chapter, they’re sharing thoughts on how to connect with your teen (but really, any child!). They relate to an article written by a 21-year-old student, who’s right out of those fundamental years. She shares 4 tips that the women break down which they thought were great suggestions on navigating these years. Sarah and Lauren talk about being a good listener and how it’s vital to any relationship. Definitely important for a child to feel understood and valued. They talk about respect and understanding your teens growth.  At that even though mistakes will be made, how crucial it is to recognize the good in their progression and choices they’re making towards becoming an adult. They also talk about being sincerely supportive and how important it is to make time for your teen! Knowing these these years go so fast, they remind you to make a conscious effort to carve out 1-on-1 time with your teen to make sure they feel your love. They close out with their hit and misses of the week. Lauren's husband coming through with delivering the Friendsgiving turkey and Sarah’s miss with Elf on the Shelf!

Money doesn't buy happiness but not having enough creates problems. Relationships get strained, mental health suffers, and opportunities are limited. But what if our teens could achieve early financial independence? What if they could have enough income to give them more choices about their job or how they spend their time? Dan Sheeks works with teens who are striving for early financial independence. Dan joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler to discuss 6 ways parents can help teens gain fundamental financial skills and get a leg up on financial independence.  Our Guest: Dan Sheeks  Detailed Show Notes and Support at MightyParenting.com episode 205 DISCLAIMER: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS WHICH REWARD ME MONETARILY OR OTHERWISE WHEN YOU USE THEM TO MAKE PURCHASES.

There's a lot to be worried about these days!  Whether you're feeling anxious about the ongoing pandemic or just concerned that your teen is struggling in school, it's easy to let distress clutter your mind. When we let that anxiety crawl around in our brain, we often find ourselves distracted from the better moments in life, thinking obsessively about a work meeting when we're supposed to be spending quality time with our families. Interestingly, that voice inside our head–the one that's always muttering about the past and the future–can be useful, if we know how to harness it. This inner dialogue comes from an evolutionary need to learn from past mistakes to survive the next challenge, and can help us immensely when tackling life's challenges! If parents can learn to steer this voice in a positive direction, they can help teens do the same. That way, these young adults will know how to handle that tricky inner dialogue before they head off into the real world.Our guest this week is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind as well as an award-winning professor of psychology and business at the University of Michigan! His name is Ethan Kross, and his new book is called Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It. In our interview, Ethan and I are getting into how and why we talk to ourselves, and what we can do to make the most of our inner voice.In this week's interview, we're discussing the idea of being “present”...and why it doesn't always help us feel better. Plus, we're diving into tons of other strategies for harnessing your inner voice that might be the perfect solution to that constant worrying!

In the halls of their high school - nobody dared to walk near her. Most of the students pretended they didn't see her, hear her, or know her. If you were new there you might ask - “What did she do?” “Oh, you don't know? That's Gitchie Girl. She went into the woods with 4 of her friends and she's the only one that came out alive. And we all know that Gitchie Girl is hiding something.” Book Rec: “Gitchie Girl” - by Phil Hamman & Sandy Hamman (There are 2 books written by the authors and both are incredible, heartbreaking reads) Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

"I think making mistakes is a really important part of parenting. It's actually good for our kids when we screw up because it's an opportunity for us to take responsibility." Melinda Wenner Moyer joined Zibby and former podcast guest Christina Hillsberg for a virtual event with the Strand Bookstore to discuss her first book, How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes, and parenting at large. The three talked about why mothers carry so much guilt (as well as how they can start letting some of it go), the different ways anxiety manifests in kids and parents both seeking to do the right thing, and their top tips for raising well-adjusted kids. The three moms also acknowledge that it doesn't take years of research or hundreds of parenting books to be a good parent; all you truly need to do is be a good person.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3jIhmBiBookshop: https://bit.ly/3mj12sg See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the final installment of our series Teens in America, what it sounds like for the family of one 17-year-old to confront White privilege and racism.Read more:With Thanksgiving coming up this week, a lot of us might be feeling anxious about seeing relatives we may not have seen in a while, especially if we don't always see eye to eye with them. We might be bracing for some awkward conversations or even some intense debates around politics or what we've been seeing on the news.Iris Santalucia can relate to that. In the final installment of our series Teens in America, we listen in as the 17-year-old New York City native has a tough conversation with her parents about the role White privilege plays in their family. Iris's mother is White. Her father is Latino and has often felt targeted by police because of his race. Although her mother says she knows people of color are sometimes profiled, she doesn't believe her husband is among them. Iris sees White privilege as one element in her parents' dynamic and confronts her mother about it on tape.

Let's try to reimagine what our families might look like as we live as Christians in a world that is walking in darkness. Too often we slide into the pattern shown us by the world - a life that makes very little sense biblically. Instead, let's follow Jesus and live the life He calls us to walk.

Today we're tackling social anxiety, which feels like it has become ubiquitous since the pandemic began. Social interactions seem to take more energy after being physically distanced for so long. The world feels more polarized and therefore, a bit more intimidating. And then there's the real fear of social interaction. Given all of this, the approaching holiday season and the fact that many Americans are still adjusting to in-person school and work, we reached out to a few Buddhist teenagers to ask for their advice on how to deal with social anxiety.CHEAT SHEET0:55 What is social anxiety?3:18 Meet Nico, Kimmy and Sudha3:57 How they started practicing Buddhism9:14 Their favorite Buddhist concepts11:34 What it's been like to go back to school 19:30 Their best advice for social anxietyReferences: ADAA: The COVID-19 Cycle: Social Anxiety and Withrdrawal in School-Aged KidsADAA: Social Anxiety During COVID-19Buddhability: Why Buddhist Don't Sweat MistakesGirls Night In: Questions to Ask a New Person

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeWe often hear that the secret to a healthy relationship of any kind is communication...but what does that really mean? Does it mean apologizing when we feel we've messed up, or daring to discuss uncomfortable topics? Are there certain things we shouldn't say, and how do we know when we're communicating too much? How do we get teens who are checked out to actually hear what we're saying? These questions and more are keeping us from having an open, communicative relationship with our teens.But when bad communication causes so many problems, it's understandable that you might be hesitant. When you're feeling frustrated or upset with your teen, certain ways of communicating can deepen the divide between the two of you instead of building a bridge. Teens who are dealing with pressures from every side of life can sometimes drive us up the wall–and despite our best efforts, we too often let our communication fall into a pattern of yelling, nagging and not really listening to what they have to say. This week, we're helping you fight the tendency to slip into all the fussing and fighting. By giving you the guidance to create a healthier, more communicative relationship with your teen, our hope is to bring some harmony to your home. Our guest is David Bradford, professor at Stanford's graduate school of business and author of Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues. David's been teaching a seminar at Stanford on interpersonal dynamics for two decades, and he's here to share some of the most valuable insights from his work with us.David and I are discussing why teens often refuse to hear anything we have to say, and how we can open up a stronger, more positive channel of communication between us and them. We're providing alternatives to giving advice, which, according to David, in'ts as effective as we think! Plus, we're discussing what David calls the “three realities of communication” to uncover why our misunderstandings can so often lead to hurt feelings or accusations.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis) is being diagnosed in young people with greater frequency. Research on how to treat pediatric patients, and indeed how to prevent IBD in the first place, is still lacking. What's not in short supply is the strength and resilience shown by pediatric IBD patients and their families. Meet Brooke, a pediatric patient at Connecticut Children's Hospital who credits her dedicated IBD team with her ability to live a life filled with summer camp, dance, and tennis lessons, without the symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Concepts discussed on this episode include: About IBD Podcast Episode 27 – Welcome to Camp Oasis Why Clinical Remission Is Not the Goal in IBD Avoiding Dehydration Find Amber J Tresca at AboutIBD.com, Verywell, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

How Belarus's president is weaponizing a refugee crisis to get back at the European Union. And, what it means to “pass” as White. Read more:Thousands of refugees are currently stuck in limbo on the border between Poland and Belarus, invited by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko when he announced that his state would no longer secure Belarus's border with the European Union. The invitation was his way of retaliating against sanctions that the E.U. has enacted against Belarus for a number of reasons. But the power play has created a refugee crisis at the border — one that threatens to grow deadlier as temperatures drop in the forests between Belarus and Poland, Loveday Morris reports. Later in the show, we continue our Teens in America series with a story from 17-year-old Ichtaca Lira. Ichtaca has always been certain of their identity as a person of color. But when people on social media told them that they looked White, it sent them down a path of self-exploration: What does it mean to “pass” as White? “Language has simply not evolved fast enough with the rate that these complex discussions about race are happening,” Ichtaca says. “We don't have enough words to describe people of color who also just don't feel like they fit into anything that's out there right now.”This series is produced in collaboration with YR Media, a nonprofit media, music and technology incubator.
