“Kids today are in a devastating emotional state! Most come to school emotionally unavailable for learning. There are many factors in our modern lifestyle that contribute to this.” ~V.P. In her practice, my friend Victoria Prooday, OT is seeing something so widespread and alarming that I asked if I could share her thoughts. I encourage every parent who cares about the future of his/her children to read it. I know that many would choose not to hear what she says in the article, but your children need you to hear this message.

Today, one in five children has mental health problems. Within the last 15 years, there has been a 43% increase in ADHD in kids. Within the last 15 years, there has been a 37% increase in teen depression. Within the last 15 years, there has been a 100% increase in the suicide rate in kids 10-14 years old. This is the world we live in. Today in Episode 69 of the Jesus Society Podcast, I want to follow-up on our Men of God series and talk about parenting in general, not just as it pertains to men and boys, but parenting in general. I want to start by talking about the biblical philosophy of parenting, and then with that in front of us, I want to give some specific, and I think timely, and hopefully helpful advice for parents. Join me today as we discuss: I. A Biblical Philosophy of Parenting, based on Deut. 6:4-7; Prov. 22:6; and Eph. 6:4. The bottom line? You're much more than a life support system for your children. So, following Steven Covey's first two habits in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, you need to “Be Proactive,” and “Begin with the End in Mind.” II. Specific Advice for Parenting: Realize that love covers a multitude of sins. Find some people who have successfully raised good, godly kids, who have done it well, and look to them as your mentors and examples. Cultivate an atmosphere of vulnerability with your kids. Cultivate an atmosphere of truth and trust. Be present with your kids and make your kids be present with you. Be engaged with your kids. Make sure your kids have lots of good (emphasis on good) adults in their lives; don't let them spend all their time being influenced by their peers. Don't be afraid to discipline. Discipline is not cruel. Done right, it is a blessing. Don't shelter your kids from the world they'll have to live in. Instead, teach them healthy ways to process and relate to the world as it exists. And finally, once again, realize that love covers a multitude of sins. God has entrusted you with the nurturing and care of another life. That should humble you, but it should also inspire you. God thinks you're up to the challenge. If you have children, the most important kingdom activity you have is to raise them well, to extend the blessing and love and care and instruction of God to them. Help them become adults who can bear the image of God to their world with wisdom and love. You can do that. And the proof you can do that is that God has given you children. __________________________________ As always, we'd appreciate it if you'd tell others about the podcast.

Chores, Victoria Prooday says, are the most efficient way to build our boys' emotional muscle. Prooday, a psychotherapist, occupational therapist and speaker, is convinced that self-regulation is the key to success -- and science backs up her assertion. As early as 1998, psychologists were publishing papers and chapters stating that, "Self-regulation has major, important implications for success in life...People who are good at self-regulation show a multitude of advantages over other people, in both task performance and interpersonal relations." Meanwhile, our best parenting intentions led us astray. "Even thought we know the the key to success in life is self-regulation, what we offer our children is a lifestyle that promotes the exact opposite," Prooday says. "They are constantly entertained. There is not a moment of boredom. No responsibilities, no chores." The answer, she says, is to "educate our children about what will actually make them successful," Grades and popularity don't guarantee success or satisfaction. Instead, our children need to develop the ability to work hard and persist despite challenges and boredom. Chores can help our children develop self-regulation, but (as you've likely already learned), simply telling your child (OK, yelling at your child) "You need to help me around the house!" is not effective. That's why Prooday explains the why to children. "Your brain is just like a muscle," she says. "You train it the same way you train a physical muscle; you train your emotional muscle." Prooday emphasizes that fact that regular chores -- which must be done even though they're boring and regardless of whether or not one feels like doing them -- help the brain develop persistence and the ability to delay gratification. In this episode, Jen, Janet & Victoria discuss: How good intentions can lead us astray Regulation vs. dysregulation How chores build self-discipline Why parents should talk to children about the effects of technology on the brain Balancing physical activity with screen time during the pandemic The 20-20-20 rule -- when using screens, look away every 20 minutes, for 20 seconds, to a distance of 20 feet Setting kids up for success How frequent breaks can fuel productivity (& decrease fighting about online school!)

Last week in part 1, Episode 352, I discussed some of the reasons I think it is that kids today just seem to push the limits more than ever. In episode 356, I discuss ways in which we can help our kids learn to live within limits and what learning this vital life skill will do for them in their lives. It is essential for us all to have to live within limits for there are limits all around us. These two episodes were inspired by Victoria Prooday, an OT who works with children, parents and teachers, and a blog post by Jacqueline from Deep Roots at Home. Thank you to both these authors for the work you do in the world to help children and parents thrive, not just survive.

This is a question that I honestly struggle to find one answer for and in finding any, recognize the fact that I am generalizing. However, I feel that this is a HUGE problem and one that most parents really struggle with today. So what do you do? How do you deal with them pushing the limits? Tune in as I share Part 1 of this two-part podcast series on my perspective and the combined thoughts of Victoria Prooday (an OT who works with children, parents, and teachers) and Jacqueline from Deep Roots at Home as to why they think this is the case and why kids are impatient, bored, friendless and entitled.

In the latest episode of aParently Speaking, host Miriam Conner speaks with Victoria Prooday, a registered occupational therapist and the founder and clinical director of a multidisciplinary clinic, who answers the question, “Why are our children so bored at school, cannot wait, get easily frustrated and have no real friends?” The post Podcast Episode #7: Modern-Day Parenting in a High-Tech World appeared first on Northeast Ohio Parent.
Today on the show I read an article that is circulating online and is called "The Silent Tragedy Affecting Today's Children", written by Victoria Prooday. I love her message and totally agree with what she says. As parents, we are not noticing that an entire generation of children is growing up to feel entitled, deserving and lack basic social skills. I see this in my work as well, as parents are afraid to say "No" to their kids, and by doing so are not providing their children with proper boundaries and limits and are not establishing themselves as authority figures but rather lower themselves to a "friend" level. This is wrong!!! You need to hear/read this and change, it is not too late.
