Today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show is a wake up call.A 13 year old completes her own intake paperwork. No parent. No guardian. No emergency contact. If something had gone wrong, there would have been no adult to call.A 16 year old starts therapy. No parent reaches out before. No parent follows up after.This is not about blame. It is about responsibility.Teens today are reporting record levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Emergency room visits for adolescent mental health crises have surged in recent years. And yet more and more adults are stepping back from direct involvement in their children's care.In this episode, I discuss :• The growing gap between adolescent mental health needs and adult engagement• Why autonomy without containment is dangerous• The legal and ethical realities therapists face when no guardian is involved• The difference between empowering teens and abandoning oversight• When adult absence is avoidance, burnout, or something more serious• The cultural shift toward convenience over accountabilityI also address the harder truths:Some teens are acting out.Some are protecting themselves in unsafe homes.Some adults are overwhelmed.Some are disengaged.And systems are making it easier for everyone to opt out.If a minor is in therapy, an adult is part of the treatment whether they participate or not.This episode challenges caregivers, therapists, and systems to examine where responsibility begins and where it has quietly disappeared.Because when a teen shows up alone, someone else is missing.And that matters.

Is your teen's snark just “normal attitude”… or could it be something more serious? If you're walking on eggshells around a constantly irritable, sarcastic teenager and wondering whether this is just adolescence or a red flag not to ignore, you're not alone. In this episode of Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens & Teens, Dr. Lisa Damour helps parents make sense of the exhausting, confusing reality of teen snark and explains when it may actually be a sign of depression that needs real attention. Drawing on decades of clinical experience working with adolescents and families, Dr. Lisa breaks down why depression often looks very different in teens than it does in adults, and how easy it is to miss when irritability gets written off as “typical teen behavior.” Alongside co-host Reena Ninan, she offers clear, grounded guidance for parents who are worried, worn down, and unsure what to do next.

Teenagers are riding at 70km/h with no helmets. Police are investigating. Communities are furious. Parents are terrified. E-bikes are everywhere — and the debate is explosive. Is this about reckless teens? Bad laws? Or something far closer to home? In this episode, Dr Justin Colson from the Happy Families podcast unpacks the real issue behind the headlines. It’s not just about e-bikes. It’s about freedom, responsibility, and the parenting conversations we’re either having… or avoiding. Because banning them won’t fix it.But shrugging won’t either. If you’ve got a risk-taking teen — or one who soon will — this is a conversation you need to hear. KEY POINTS Freedom without responsibility becomes a free-for-all Risk is essential for development — recklessness is not Pedal-assist bikes and throttle bikes are not the same Legislation won’t solve what parenting must address Teens chase status, thrill and belonging — not danger The real missing ingredient is consideration QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Freedom isn’t the same as a free-for-all. The real issue isn’t the e-bike — it’s whether we’re teaching our kids what freedom requires.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have the deeper conversation.Not just “be careful.” Ask: Who could you hurt? What does sharing space mean? Differentiate risk from recklessness.Climbing trees builds capability. Blowing through traffic signals destroys trust. Talk about invisible impact.Help them imagine the pedestrian, the driver, the nurse in emergency. Channel thrill safely.Structured sport, competitions and supervised challenges can meet the same need. Stay connected.Consequences matter — but relationship influence matters more.

On the night of March 16, 1995, six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario and headed toward the East Shore Marina at Frenchman's Bay. They told friends they'd be back before sunrise. None of them were ever seen again.Jay Boyle, 17. Chad Smith, 18. Robbie Rumboldt, 17. Jamie Lefebvre, 17. Michael Cummins, 17. Danny Higgins, 16.Known collectively as the Lost Boys of Pickering or the Frenchman Bay Six, their disappearance remains one of Canada's most baffling unsolved cases thirty years later.In this episode, we walk through the full timeline of that night, from the party to the marina, the surveillance footage that captured three of the boys entering the property at 1:48 a.m., and the unidentified individuals recorded on that same footage just minutes later.We examine the thirty-six-hour delay before police launched a search, the massive air, land, and water operation that followed, and the single piece of physical evidence ever recovered — a gas can found twelve days later on the American side of the lake near Wilson, New York.We dig into the official theory from the Durham Regional Police Service, that the boys stole a fourteen-foot Boston Whaler and capsized on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and we examine the serious questions raised by private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who spent over thirteen years working the case without pay before his death in January 2024. Ricketts challenged nearly every aspect of the investigation, from the cancelled sidescan sonar search to the surveillance video that police later claimed didn't exist in their records, to the human remains found in the Niagara River in 1998 that the Boyle family didn't learn about for fifteen years.No bodies. No boat. No wreckage. No clothing. No personal effects. Six teenagers, gone without a trace. This is a case defined not by what was found, but by what wasn't, and by the questions that three decades of silence have never answered.If you have information about this case, contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 905-579-1520, extension 2511, or submit an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Case reference number 95-26936.

Hi Parents! Do you notice that your teen is highly sensitive or easily overwhelmed? Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and empath, explains how parents can recognize and support highly sensitive teens, who often experience anxiety more intensely than their peers. Dr. Orloff introduces her newest children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, sharing the story of Aurora, a sensitive rabbit learning to embrace her emotions. She connects this story to real-life guidance for anxious and highly sensitive teens, including the importance of alone time, healthy coping strategies, and ways to manage shame or bullying. This conversation provides parents with actionable insights into the behaviours of highly sensitive teens, how to nurture their emotional well-being, and tools to help them centre themselves when anxiety and overwhelm strike. Whether your teen is introverted, intensely empathetic, or easily stressed, this episode is full of practical advice for fostering resilience and self-acceptance. More Books by Judith: 

In this enlightening conversation on the "Parents is Your Teen College Ready?" show, Shellee Howard interviews Sarah Morgan, a former corporate trainer turned school assembly speaker who focuses on teaching students about emotional resilience and recovery. Sarah shares her compelling personal story of a horseback riding accident that nearly left her quadriplegic, highlighting how her mindset and belief system played a crucial role in her recovery. She emphasizes the importance of understanding emotions through Dr. Albert Ellis's ABC theory, which explains how our beliefs mediate emotional responses rather than the activating events themselves. Sarah discusses the challenges students face today, including bullying, rigid expectations, and the emotional toll of social media and AI, offering practical advice for parents to help their children build emotional resilience. She advocates for leveraging school counselors and educational resources to support teens and encourages parents to foster healthy belief systems in their children to prepare them for college and life beyond. HighlightsSarah Morgan transitioned from corporate leadership training to inspiring teenagers nationwide on emotional resilience.The ABC theory of emotions (Activating event, Belief system, Consequence) is key to managing emotional responses.Sarah's personal story of a near-quadriplegic horseback riding accident underscores the power of mindset in recovery.Addressing bullying and social challenges is central to Sarah's school assemblies, focusing on resilience rather than victimhood.Social media and AI amplify rigid expectations and comparison, increasing anxiety and anger among teens.Parents are encouraged to collaborate with school counselors and use available resources to support their child's emotional health.Embracing failure as a learning tool is critical for long-term success and emotional strength.Key InsightsResilience is a skill that can be taught and cultivated: Sarah's shift from corporate training to youth education reflects a growing recognition that resilience and emotional literacy are essential life skills for young people. By addressing real-life challenges and emotional management, she equips students to navigate uncertainties, setbacks, and social pressures. This proactive approach contrasts with traditional academic focus and prepares teens for holistic success.The ABC model reframes emotional reactions: Sarah highlights Dr. Albert Ellis's ABC theory to illustrate that emotions do not directly result from external events but from the interpretation or belief about those events. This insight is empowering, encouraging students (and adults) to examine and adjust their belief systems, reducing emotional distress and promoting healthier responses. For parents, this model offers a practical framework to help children understand their feelings and reactions constructively.Personal adversity as a teaching tool enhances authenticity: Sarah's detailed recounting of her accident and recovery lends credibility and emotional weight to her message. Her experience illustrates how controlled decisions, like accepting help (helmet use) and maintaining a calm belief system, can dramatically influence outcomes. This personal narrative resonates deeply with students, making the abstract concept of resilience tangible and relatable.Bullying and social challenges are symptoms of broader emotional struggles: Sarah addresses bullying not just as isolated social conflict but as part of the larger emotional resilience framework. She encourages students to recognize their power over their reactions and belief systems rather than letting negative social interactions define their emotional state. This shift from victimhood to empowerment is crucial in creating a supportive school environment.The pervasive influence of social media creates rigid expectations and emotional distress: Sarah points out how constant exposure to curated lives online raises unrealistic standards, fostering anxiety and anger, both manifestations of rigidity in thinking. She teaches the importance of flexible thinking and “lightly held desires,” helping teens manage disappointment and uncertainty in a healthier way. This insight is vital as parents and educators seek to mitigate the negative psychological impacts of digital culture.Failure is an unavoidable and necessary part of growth: Drawing on Dr. Henry Cloud's advice, Sarah stresses that learning to fail and recover is more valuable than avoiding failure altogether. This mindset prepares teens for real-world challenges by building endurance and adaptability. For parents, this means supporting children through setbacks and helping them see failure as a stepping stone to resilience rather than a catastrophe.Parental involvement combined with school resources strengthens emotional support: Sarah urges parents to engage with school counselors and make use of educational materials to foster emotional awareness at home. She recognizes that parents often struggle with their own rigid expectations, which can inadvertently add pressure on children. By working collaboratively with schools and focusing on belief systems, families can create a nurturing environment that prepares teens for the emotional demands of college and adulthood.Extended AnalysisSarah Morgan's approach to emotional resilience is both practical and deeply human. By integrating personal experience with psychological theory, she connects with students on a level that traditional educational programs often miss. Her emphasis on belief systems as the filter for emotional responses challenges the common misconception that external events alone dictate feelings. This insight is revolutionary in emotional education, empowering young people to reclaim control over their mental states, fostering independence and confidence.Moreover, Sarah's recognition of the unique pressures faced by today's youth, exacerbated by social media and AI, reflects an acute understanding of generational challenges. The concept of “rigid expectations” as a root cause of anxiety and anger is particularly insightful. It highlights that emotional difficulties often stem from cognitive inflexibility rather than the events themselves. Teaching teens to hold desires lightly and to accept uncertainty equips them with psychological tools to maintain equilibrium in a rapidly changing world.Her story of survival and recovery from a life-threatening injury adds a powerful narrative dimension, showing resilience not as an abstract ideal but as a lived reality. The specific example of how wearing a helmet and making deliberate choices in the moment saved her from permanent paralysis underscores the intersection of mindset, preparedness, and practical action.For parents, Sarah's advice to utilize school counselors and educational resources acknowledges the complex ecosystem influencing teen emotional health. It reflects the reality that parents cannot do it alone but can play a critical role by fostering open communication and supporting professional guidance. Her caution against conditional self-esteem, a prevalent but harmful mindset, encourages a more stable, intrinsic sense of worth for young people.In sum, Sarah's work exemplifies a modern, nuanced approach to emotional education, one that balances theory, personal experience, and practical strategies to empower the next generation for college and life beyond. Parents, educators, and students alike can benefit from her insights on resilience, emotional awareness, and the power of belief systems to shape our emotional landscapes.Connect with Shellee Howard: WebsiteYouTubeInstagram  LinkedIn  Connect with Sarah Morgan: WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramLinkedIn

Are we in the middle of a teen mental health crisis—and is technology fueling it? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with clinical psychologist Johan D'Souza to unpack the dramatic rise in anxiety, depression, and suicidality since 2010 and what smartphones are doing to the developing brain. We talk honestly about dopamine, screen addiction, weak boundaries, strong leadership in the home, and what parents can do right now—even if a phone is already in their child's hand. This isn't about panic; it's about courage, clarity, and raising kids who can flourish in a distracted world.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

How do we talk to our teens about friendships, dating, sex, and consent—without panicking, preaching, or pushing them away? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Bronwyn Carroll, pediatric emergency medicine physician, mom of four, and child protection advocate. With over 20 years of frontline experience, she shares what she's seen, what works, and how parents can build “conversational scaffolding” early—so hard conversations feel natural later. We talk about: Why healthy romantic relationships are built on early childhood friendships How to help teens recognize red flags in dating relationships The emotional and physical risks of teen dating violence Why welcoming your teen's boyfriend or girlfriend may be smarter than banning them How to talk about consent in clear, practical ways Why honest conversations about sex don't encourage early sexual activity (and what research from the Netherlands shows) How alcohol, vulnerability, and online spaces increase risk And most importantly—how to stay calm and connected when your teen is emotionally flooded Dr. Carroll reminds us that no topic should be off-limits—and that starting the conversation today can make all the difference.

Melanie talks with Aaron Klemm from Summit Ministries, a featured Teen Track speaker at Thrive!, about helping teenagers wrestle with big worldview questions such as whether God exists and what He is like. Aaron explains how growing in confidence that the Christian worldview is big enough to engage all of life can shape the way students approach college, relationships, work, and everyday decisions.Amanda then addresses a question many families are asking: What counts as homeschool attendance? She clarifies how North Carolina's homeschool law applies to the operation of your school rather than counting a set number of days, how to think about attendance and annual testing within a calendar year, and what to do when filing a Notice of Intent midyear. She also explains how to handle situations where one child is homeschooled while another is enrolled in public school.News and Upcoming Events2026 Midwinter Chess Tournament winners England Planetarium and Museum of the Coastal Carolinas field trip Thrive!

Are smartphones and social media harming our kids—or is the truth more nuanced? In this episode of That's Total Mom Sense, journalist and mom of three Kanika Chadda Gupta sits down with Jacqueline Beauchere, Snapchat's Global Head of Platform Safety, for a thoughtful, data-driven conversation about parenting teens in a digital world. Together, they explore real online risks, how Snapchat differs from other platforms, and the tools parents can use—like Family Center and The Keys—to stay informed, involved, and proactive. This is not fear-mongering or permissiveness. It's problem-solving, empathy, and practical guidance for families navigating tech together.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore a growing trend among so called "TV Moms," parents who allow television freely but restrict personal devices like iPads and phones. Is there really a difference? Or is all screen time the same? Drawing on current research and practical parenting experience, Dr. Kathy explains why screens are not created equal. Television can become communal and conversational when used intentionally. Personal devices, however, are engineered for individual consumption and often create emotional ownership that's harder for kids to relinquish. But even TV loses its value when it becomes constant background noise. The deeper concern isn't just screen exposure, it's what screens are replacing. Quiet. Conversation. Boredom. Creative play. Relational engagement. In a culture where something is always on, children are losing the natural rhythms that form identity: sitting, walking, listening, asking, and wondering. When noise fills every space, wisdom has no room to rise. Dr. Kathy reminds parents that quiet is not empty. Quiet is formative. It's where discernment grows, where creativity sparks, where the Holy Spirit speaks. Identity is shaped not by constant input but by repeated relational moments in which children feel known and guided. This episode challenges parents to reconsider not just how much media their kids consume, but whether screens are crowding out the spaces where character, connection, and confidence are built. Check out Dr. Kathy's book on this topic, Screens and Teens, here>>

Would you ever melt down an Olympic gold medal… and if you did, what’s it actually worth? The crew kicks things off with a surprisingly fun (and slightly unhinged) debate, then gets practical with Uber for Teens — how it works, what parents can see, and what teens can do in the app — with Foosh breaking it down from the driver’s seat. Plus, the reality check: only about a quarter of 16-year-olds are licensed now, which leads to a full-on nostalgia spiral about sprinting to the DMV the second you turned 16. Then it’s weather whiplash: rain hit overnight with more on the way, ground temps holding steady, and a look at how Seal Beach is battling the ocean to protect homes. From there, we ride the wave into a high surf advisory for OC and San Diego — including how insane The Wedge can get — while mountain communities sit in desperate need of snow. And just when you think you can relax, TikTok drops a new twist: “Local Feed” — a new tab aimed at surfacing posts, businesses, and happenings near you. And for blackjack players in California, there’s a big change coming: the state just approved new DOJ cardroom regulations affecting blackjack-style games (and player-dealer rotation). The rules take effect April 1, 2026, and could mean your favorite “blackjack” tables at cardrooms may have to be eliminated or heavily modified. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when the place teens go to connect becomes a channel for control? We dig into the real dynamics of tech-facilitated dating violence—how it starts, how it spreads across platforms, and how teens, parents, and advocates can disrupt it without demonizing the tools young people love.Joined by Audace Garnett, director of SafetyNet at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, we unpack the core idea that technology isn't the problem—abuse is. Audace brings two decades of survivor-centered expertise to explain how common features like DMs, location sharing, and shared passwords turn into leverage for power and control. We explore the rise of AI-generated intimate images, the emerging “Take It Down” efforts to remove harmful content, and why evidence preservation matters before blocking. You'll hear the warning signs of grooming, the subtle shift from “care” to surveillance, and how social media culture often normalizes stalking and boundary violations as jokes or romance.We also shine a light on the disproportionate impact on Black teen girls and the broader social and historical forces that drive those disparities. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all rules, we share realistic, teen-driven safety planning: privacy checkups, strong passwords and two-factor authentication, location limits, code words, trusted adult networks, and the simple “two-beat pause” before posting or replying. For parents, teachers, and coaches, we offer ways to turn doomscrolling into dialogue—using the very videos teens watch to spot red flags and rebuild media literacy and trust.If you care about a teen in your life—or you're a teen navigating digital relationships—this conversation brings clarity, language, and next steps you can use today. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more families find practical tools for safer, healthier online relationships.

She had a front row seat to the mental health crisis of this generation of teens. So what did she do? She got the teens to talk about it. She asked them questions. She listened. "We need help," they begged. She heard that call, left her job at her high school and set out to create the spaces these teens needed to have the difficult conversations and find the support and off-screen accountability with their peers. Whether you're a parent or not, this is a vital conversation we all need to be having. I hope you'll listen and join in. I also invited my friend (and friend-of-the-pod), psychologist and addiction-medicine specialist, Thekla Brumder Ross.

What would YOU do if you discovered your tween or teen was reading explicit fan fiction online? Today's kids are often learning about sexuality through the internet, often long before parents realize it. How you respond can either shut down communication or open the door to thoughtful, values-based conversations that actually stick. In this episode of Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens & Teens, clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan tackle a question many parents are asking: Should we be worried about our kids reading explicit fan fiction? 

Based on a recent listener question about how to start to let go as our kids get older, this "Deep Dive" series highlights some of our past interview episodes on the topic. There's a mental health crisis among teens. Teens are also highly emotional creatures by design. Adolescent psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour thinks the two are starting to get conflated– and that means parents and educators can sometimes overcorrect in their responses to teens' emotional outbursts. ⁠⁠Dr. Lisa Damour⁠⁠ co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast and writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, in addition to her clinical practice. Her book discussed in this episode is ⁠⁠The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents⁠⁠.  Amy and Lisa explore: Why good sleep is the first thing we need to help dysregulated teens solve What the pandemic actually revealed about teens' mental health Key myths and misconceptions about adolescent emotions Dr. Lisa says that we– and our teenagers– can gain much by asking if the strong emotion a teen may be feeling is uncomfortable or unmanageable. If it's uncomfortable, learning to sit with that is part of the process of healthy emotional maturation.
