Are Your Teen's Digital Habits Fueling Their Anxiety? In this eye-opening episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene speaks with licensed therapist Donna Moss about the rising epidemic of teen anxiety in today's digital world. With 30 years of experience helping adolescents navigate life's challenges, Donna provides invaluable insights into creating balance and supporting mental health in an increasingly complex world for young people. Key Takeaways → Establishing a daily structure is essential for teens' mental health - having consistent routines, hobbies, and adequate sleep helps combat anxiety by providing stability and purpose. → The combination of ubiquitous smartphones (starting around 2010-2011) and fear-based parenting has created what psychologist Jonathan Haidt calls "the anxious generation" - teens who spend more time on devices and less time in real-world social interactions. → Parents need to find the middle ground between being too controlling and too detached. They should listen more than they speak and create boundaries around technology use, allowing space for growth and independence. → Physical well-being significantly impacts mental health - ensure teens are getting enough sleep, eating properly, exercising regularly, and visiting their doctor for check-ups (medical issues can sometimes manifest as anxiety or depression). → Teens engage in black-and-white thinking well into their twenties - help them recognize this pattern and guide them toward seeing nuance and "gray areas" in situations that trigger anxiety. Quotes from Donna Moss "You need to have a plan, a schedule, a hobby, a thing every single day. Otherwise, you lose your motivation. If you avoid everything, then you don't learn anything, you don't grow." "Always be curious, not judgmental. Tell them, 'You could tell me anything. It's not gonna shock me, it's okay. I'm not gonna tattle tale,' and you gotta build that trust."

LaToi explores how acknowledging anger can be an essential part of self-care and how, when harnessed with intention, it can ignite motivation and drive. It's not about suppressing the heat—it's about learning to cook with it. Tune in for real talk, self-reflection, and tools to turn your inner fire into forward motion.......Also my collab with Instagram:Here are the 5 powerful ways Instagram is helping through its Teen Accounts that I learned:1. Safer connections: Under 18 accounts default to private settings—no unwanted messages or tags from strangers.2. Wellness support: Teens get daily time reminders and sleep-friendly notification pauses between 10PM–7AM.3. Content filters: Instagram hides sensitive content, including topics like tobacco, alcohol, and sexually suggestive material.4. Parental supervision: The Family Center lets you approve settings, monitor activity, and receive age-related alerts.5. Protection while posting: Teens under 16 can't go live without approval, and tools like Hidden Words reduce bullying and harmful comments............This is a movement toward guidance—not surveillance. Let's raise screen-smart teens with trust, clarity, and care..

Female Teachers Who Sexually Assault Male Students: Understanding a Complex IssueBill Eddy and Megan Hunter explore the concerning pattern of sexual misconduct between female teachers and male students. This episode examines the psychological, interpersonal, and cultural factors that contribute to these situations, while providing insights for prevention and awareness.Understanding the DynamicsResearch indicates these cases often involve teachers targeting older adolescents (15-16 years old), with interactions occurring both inside and outside school settings. The motivations tend to be emotionally-driven rather than predatory. While federal data doesn't track gender-specific statistics, anecdotal evidence suggests increased visibility of these cases in recent years.The behavioral patterns in these cases often reveal complex emotional attachment issues, where professional boundaries become increasingly blurred. Teachers who demonstrate this conduct typically exploit their position of authority while developing inappropriate emotional connections with students. This process frequently involves grooming behaviors, where the adult gradually manipulates the relationship dynamic through special attention, emotional manipulation, and progressive boundary violations.Questions We Answer in This Episode:What psychological factors contribute to this behavior?How does grooming manifest in educational settings?What are the impacts on teenage male victims?What warning signs should parents and schools watch for?How can educational institutions prevent these situations?Key Takeaways:Clear boundaries and oversight are essential in educational settingsSchools need comprehensive policies and annual trainingParents should maintain open communication about boundariesEarly intervention and awareness can prevent escalationProfessional support should be available for at-risk teachersThis episode provides valuable insights for educators, parents, and administrators while examining the complex factors that contribute to these concerning situations. Understanding these dynamics helps create safer educational environments and better protection for students.Additional ResourcesWatch the Full New York Post video “Psychologist Explains Why Female Teachers Have Sex With Students”OrganizationsRAINN (Help for men and boys who have been sexually assaulted or abused)Article: Sexual Assault of Men and BoysNational Sexual Assault Hotline: 800.656.HOPE (U.S.)1in6.org (Support for men who have experienced sexual abuse or assault)501(c)(3) Zero Abuse ProjectExpert PublicationsLessons to Learn: Female Educators Who Sexually Abuse Their Students (Psychiatric Times)How Female Sexual Abusers Groom Their Victims (Psychology Today - Dr. Elizabeth L.

“Leadership isn't about being perfect or popular. It's about making decisions, taking responsibility, and developing the skills that allow us to show up with courage and confidence.” - Lorraine ConnellAre we unknowingly holding kids back by tying leadership to titles, popularity, and perfection? Could our entire approach to teaching leadership be setting young people up to fail before they even begin?In this episode, I sit down with Lorraine Connell, former chemistry teacher turned teen leadership coach and founder of Peers Not Fears. Lorraine shares how her own experience of feeling “average” in school shaped her deep commitment to redefining leadership for young people. Together, we explore what happens when we empower teens before they're handed official titles and how we can help them develop confidence, decision-making, and real leadership skills - long before they enter the workforce.You'll hear us discuss:How our myths around leadership - like needing a title or being perfect - hold kids (and adults) backWhy Lorraine believes the only true requirement for leadership is the ability to make a decisionThe damage caused when we make student leaders into role models who aren't allowed to failHow mistakes (including Lorraine's own) became the turning point for creating Peers Not FearsThe power of peer mentoring and why it's more impactful than top-down leadershipWhy confidence and leadership are inseparable - and how labeling kids can stall bothWhat leadership development actually looks like between ages 12 and 16How games, group coaching, and creative challenges open teens up to growthWhat adults need to remember about owning mistakes and modeling leadershipHow to reframe leadership not as a ladder—but as something wide enough for everyoneResourcesLorraine Connell on Peers not Fears | ''Leadership for Our Kids!''

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Remember those years when your child followed you everywhere, and gazed at you with adoring eyes because you knew everything? Have they now turned into a teenager who simply grunts, or screams at you, when they occasionally emerge from their bedroom?Changes in a teenage brain help them to develop abstract thinking and self-reflection but they also make them hyper-critical and keen to develop emotional distance so they can practice life without you around.What to do: Daniel Siegel says we need to teach them to have reflective conversations:Numerous brain studies show that when we do this (either with someone else or in our own heads) it stimulates the integration of the prefrontal cortex where planning and problem solving takes place, and allows us to tune into others ie empathy. How to do it: JoAnn Deak - Girls will be girls.Don't assume or jump in straight away.Don't move straight to the fix-it mode.Help them to explore what they're saying. Leave some grey areas.Discuss strategies for action. Don't overreact. Once you're in the strategy phase that's when your knowledge can help inform the teenager's decisions. Don't be afraid to provide your moral/philosophical bottom line. There are so many grey areas it can be a relief to know there are some black and white's.Techniques: Parent Gym based on how to talk so your kids will listen.Super silence and active listening.When to do it?Try to develop regular non-crisis moments where conversations can happen. Saying goodnight, car journeys, meal-times, fixing their bike. Listen to the news together to start a discussion. Get them to entertain you. What's the gossip? What are you reading? What have you been watching? What's your favourite music at the moment? Take a genuine interest in their answers. Books, and materials, we've referenced: Brainstorm by Daniel SiegelHow to talk so your Kids will listen; How to listen so your kids will talk by Adele Faber and Elaine MazlishGirls will be girls: Raising Confident and Courageous Daughters by JoAnn Deak Parent Gym coaching materialsTangling with your teenagerHelen wrote 'My sixteen year old is dating and says he's in love. What do I do if he brings her home and wants her to stay the night? Do I put them in the same room, or separate them?' ISSUES:Explore your own  feelings about it, and why?

What if your child's screen time is causing permanent damage—and you don't even know it yet? In this compelling episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Clare Morell, public policy expert and author of The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones. Together, they unpack one of the most startling screen-related health issues facing kids today: chronic dry eye. Once seen only in the elderly, dry eye is now affecting children as young as eight—often irreversibly—due to reduced blinking during screen use. But it's not just the eyes. Clare shares how digital overuse is quietly reshaping children's brains, behavior, and even their ability to think original thoughts. From real-life stories of families who ditched devices to groundbreaking school policies and church youth group solutions, this conversation will leave you informed—and empowered. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or community leader, you'll come away with practical tools, conviction, and the clarity to lead differently in a screen-saturated world.

We can't believe that it's already been more than four decades since we walked down the aisle to say our “I do's”. Would you believe that our first big argument occurred on our honeymoon?

What if supporting your anxious teen didn't mean constantly doing more - but instead, meant becoming more present, intentional, and self-aware in the moments that matter? In this episode, I'm joined by Holly Swenson - wellness blogger, registered nurse, and author of Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow - to explore how conscious parenting, grounded in self-care and deep inner work, can reshape how we show up for our teens. More About Holly: Holly Swenson is a best-selling, award-winning author, and mom of four. Through her book Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow, Holly offers a refreshing take on modern parenting - one rooted in mindfulness, purpose, and self-compassion. With her unique background as a nurse and mother, she empowers parents to slow down, shift their mindset, and lead from their values instead of stress or guilt. Holly's “5 Rights of Parenting” invites parents to tune in to themselves, approach challenges with clarity, and create deeper, more authentic connections with their children. If you've ever questioned how to care for your teen without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and thrive alongside your child. Parenting can be hard - but it doesn't have to feel like a constant struggle.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: If you came of age in Baltimore during the 50s and 60s, you probably heard the talk about Druid Ridge Cemetery's most famous grave marker. Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We'll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan's oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn't end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital's haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren't alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell.

Is your teen glued to their screen this summer? Do you know the difference between typical teen behavior and true digital distress? In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Zu Marga, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, joins Colleen O'Grady to talk about the growing issue of digital distress—the emotional strain and anxiety caused by excessive screen use. Together, they explore how screens are impacting teens' mental health, from sleep issues to depression and even self-harm. Dr. Zu Marga shares how her clinical work has evolved as digital habits have become a root cause of many emotional and behavioral issues in teens. The conversation dives deep into how the pandemic escalated screen dependency, how to spot signs of distress, and why setting boundaries around technology use is more critical than ever—especially during summer. Jennifer Zumarraga, MD is a specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology at El Camino Health in California. She has over a decade of experience working with children and adolescents of all ages. Dr. Zumarraga began her career in research at the National Institute of Mental Health, focusing on youth with ADHD. She went on to complete her training at the University of Rochester and the University of Southern California. Three Key Takeaways: Excessive screen time affects the basics: Sleep, nutrition, mood, and social interaction often suffer when teens are glued to their devices. Look for changes like irritability, withdrawal, or academic decline. Limits are necessary—and hard: Teens often push back when you try to cut screen time. But consistency, clear boundaries, and calm conversations (held when everyone is regulated) can help establish healthier habits. Help teens reclaim their summer: Work with your teen to create a list of 30–50 non-digital activities, develop a daily structure, and encourage real-world social connections. This effort now can prevent more serious mental health issues later.

Through fun examples and practical techniques, they'll learn to recognize when their brain is lying and how to lead their emotions instead of being led by them.

What if we approached teen technology and social media use more like teaching someone to drive rather than simply restricting access until they're "old enough"? Media literacy expert Jennifer Berger joins Dr. Amy and Sandy on the Brainy Moms podcast to introduce her groundbreaking program, the Social Media Driver's License, which does exactly that.After two decades of teaching media literacy to over 10,000 youth, Jennifer noticed a troubling pattern in how we approach teens and technology. Most resources emphasized monitoring, restriction, and punishment – approaches that often backfire by damaging parent-teen relationships and failing to build critical digital skills. Her response? Create a collaborative, skill-building program that prepares tweens and teens to navigate online spaces independently.The Social Media Driver's License features a unique dual-track approach. Kids ages 10-14 participate in a 10-session course led by older teenagers sharing hard-earned wisdom about social media navigation. Parents simultaneously access an audio course covering essential topics like handling online safety concerns, addressing problematic content, and maintaining healthy conversations about technology. This structure recognizes that eventually, teens will access technology, making preparation more valuable than restriction.Perhaps most refreshing is Berger's emphasis on maintaining connection. Rather than villainizing teens' digital worlds or implementing rigid, top-down rules, she advocates for genuine curiosity, collaborative boundary-setting, and calm responses when inevitable mistakes occur. As Dr. Amy notes during the conversation, "Connection is the number one buffer against mental health crisis," making this approach particularly valuable for supporting teen wellbeing.Ready to transform your approach to parenting in the digital age?
