“Fix it, change it, stop it, solve it” is a phrase I use often in my coaching. When you say it out loud, it captures that feeling we have as parents when our kids behave in a way that leaves us feeling overwhelmed, angry or worried. In this episode,you'll learn:How to view your kid's big feelings as an opportunity instead of a threatThe question to ask yourself as you move your child through their dayHow to validate feelings in the midst of out-of-bounds behavior5 ways to help your kid manage their big feelings What I hope you take away from this episode is it's actually good for kids to feel upset and have you be okay with their feelings. You do not need to fix your kid's feelings. You only need to acknowledge them.----------------------------------------"Fix it, change it, stop it, solve it" is an emotional and physical response to what our kids are doing, and our brain jumps in and tries to fix, change, stop or solve the situation. Your Kid's Big FeelingsThe most common time I see parents experience this reaction is during a Big Feeling Cycle. When your kid has big feelings, they might express them in ways that are overwhelming to you. The tendency is often to try to shut down their behavior. But because that behavior is a reaction to how they're feeling, we end up shutting down their feelings, too.The problem with jumping in to fix/change/stop/solve is that you miss an opportunity to connect with your kids and to help them connect with themselves and learn how to process their own negative emotion. What “Fix it, change it, stop it, solve it” Looks LikeHere are some things I see parents do when they don't like the way their child is expressing their emotion. Minimizing. When our kids are upset, we want to say, “Oh honey, it's not that big of a deal. It'll work out.” This sounds like a nice thing to say, but your child is left feeling like you don't understand. It feels like a really big deal to them. We want to validate the emotion and acknowledge the intensity of their feelings instead of minimizing it. Comparing. This looks like, “This sort of thing happens all the time,” or, “Other kids don't complain about this,” or “This wasn't a big deal to your brother.” It happens when you think their feelings aren't warranted or justified. We're trying to get them to think and feel differently but, again, we're doing it by shutting down their feelings. Ignoring. There might be times when you need to take a break to calm yourself before dealing with a situation. Ignoring is different. This is another way of shutting your kid down, and it makes them feel unheard, unfelt, unseen and unvaluable. Your child might think, “Mom only wants to talk to me when I'm happy.”Talking about their feelings is how they'll learn to deal with them. Weaponizing gratitude. Gratitude is an incredible emotion. I love it. Weaponizing gratitude is when we use it to bypass negative emotion. You cannot get rid of sadness by thinking grateful thoughts. We have to feel the sadness (or anger or worry) and acknowledge it before we allow the brain to find another perspective. Indulging. Sometimes, you might try to change the circumstance to make your kid feel better. Maybe you tell them they can skip practice or promise to go get ice cream afterwards. Instead of letting them feel upset, indulging tries to give them a positive feeling so they forget about the uncomfortable feeling. Logic-ing. This looks like...

Life moves fast. One minute you're in the front seat of your child's life… and before you know it, you're on the sidelines watching them take the wheel. Between work, bills, pressure, and pace, it's easy to drift instead of lead. Ferris Bueller said it best: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” That's especially true when it comes to family.

I'm one of millions of women specifically trying to parent themselves while parenting children… and it can be seriously exhausting. And when childhood trauma still comes back to haunt us in midlife and beyond, life can feel impossible.  That's why I've invited trauma expert Anna Runkle on for this powerful episode to help unpack why so many midlife women are still impacted by old trauma, and how that buried stress shows up in our bodies.  We dive into the hidden ways trauma can lead us to isolate, dysregulate our nervous system, and disrupt key hormones like cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin.  Anna and I break down how this cascade of stress and deregulation can spark inflammation, oxidative stress, blood-sugar swings, and even contribute to autoimmune issues that so many women face.  But most importantly, Anna shares simple, compassionate tools to help regulate your nervous system and finally begin healing the deeper patterns driving overwhelm in midlife.  Ready to feel more grounded in this season of life? Hit play and listen now! Anna Runkle Anna Runkle is the creator of the popular YouTube channel, blog, courses, and coaching programs that provide tools for adults to heal dysregulation and other common trauma symptoms, helping them feel better and change their lives. Anna's methods were developed through research, her mentoring of hundreds of individuals over the years, and her direct experience healing her own symptoms of early trauma. She's the author of Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck and Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong.  IN THIS EPISODE Understanding nervous system deregulation  How Anna learned to adapt after childhood trauma  Symptoms that can manifest from over-functioning  How to manage stressors and stay regulated day to day  Top ways we can start to regulate, especially when deregulated  How connection can be a huge tool for healing  Free resources and where you can find more from Anna!  QUOTES“All these weird symptoms that I had… It's neurological dysregulation. It's really normal. Everybody gets dysregulated sometimes, but those of us who are traumatized as kids are often more prone to it. It happens more easily. It's more intense. It's harder to get out of.” “Early trauma is very strongly correlated later in life with high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, reproductive disorders, just about everything bad.” “Those three things– dysregulation, disconnection, and self-defeating behavior– those are the things that can just take you out and keep you stuck in trauma forever. So the good news is you can learn to reregulate.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Anna's Book: CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, And Feel (At Last) Like You Belong HERE Order Anna's other book: Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck HERE Anna's Website Anna Runkle on YouTube Anna Runkle on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #308: What Is Trauma and How Does It Make Us Sick? with Dr. Elena Villanueva

In this captivating episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores the transformative power of children's literature through conversations with two remarkable authors who are reshaping storytelling for young readers. First, award-winning author Lynn Plourde discusses her groundbreaking middle-grade novel, "The Bionic Boy." The book follows Benji, an 11-year-old adopted boy born without hands, who discovers the true meaning of heroism and self-acceptance. Inspired by her 21-year career as a speech therapist, Plourde crafts a compassionate narrative that celebrates children with differences, showing that heroism comes in many forms. The episode then shifts to a delightful conversation with Lindsay Giziki, author of "Bookly, the Book-Loving Ghost" and founder of A Pop Of Indie, an innovative traveling book fair. Giziki shares her passion for bringing diverse, independent books to children, including hosting summer camps where kids create their own picture books. Both authors represent a new wave of children's literature that prioritizes representation, creativity, and empowerment. Giziki's A Pop Of indie book fair introduces children to independent authors and diverse storytelling, while Plourde's novel provides a nuanced exploration of disability and inner strength. The conversation touches on important themes: the evolution of children's literature, the importance of diverse representation, and the power of storytelling to build empathy and understanding. From Benji's journey of self-discovery to Bookly the ghost's love of reading, these authors are creating worlds that inspire, educate, and entertain. Parents and educators will find inspiration in their approaches to storytelling, which emphasize the importance of seeing oneself reflected in literature and the magic of imagination. Whether you're interested in innovative publishing, diverse storytelling, or simply love children's books, this episode offers a heartwarming glimpse into the creative minds shaping young readers' experiences.

In this heartwarming episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty explores the power of children's literature with two remarkable authors who are changing how we understand personal challenges and differences. First, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt shares her touching picture book "Kat and Brandy," a story inspired by her own childhood experience with horseback riding. After being thrown from a horse, Katherine learned the transformative power of patience, healing, and animal therapy. Her book celebrates overcoming fears and building confidence, offering parents a beautiful tool to discuss bravery with their children. The conversation takes a deeper dive into parenting, with Katherine emphasizing the importance of allowing children to experience challenges. "Kids need to work through fears themselves," she explains, highlighting how falling down and getting back up builds true confidence. The episode then introduces Jeffrey and Laura May, authors of "Our Amazing Minds," a groundbreaking children's book about autism. The couple shares their personal journey with their son Jackson, who was diagnosed with autism at three and a half. They discuss the critical importance of early intervention, understanding neurodiversity, and celebrating individual differences. Jeffrey candidly shares his initial fears about his son's diagnosis, while Laura provides practical advice for parents: trust your instincts and seek resources early. Their book aims to help children understand autism as just another way of being unique, not a limitation. Both author pairs demonstrate how children's books can spark meaningful conversations about complex topics like fear, courage, neurodiversity, and personal growth. They show that storytelling is a powerful tool for building empathy, understanding, and connection. Listeners will walk away inspired to read more diverse children's literature, have deeper conversations with their kids, and embrace the beautiful complexity of human experiences.

In this delightful episode of "Reading with Your Kids," host Jed Doherty explores two fascinating children's books that go far beyond simple storytelling. First, Leokadia George shares the incredible story of Trumpet, a Mexican gray wolf from the Wolf Conservation Center. Trumpet isn't just any wolf - she's a critically important member of a species that was once down to just seven wolves worldwide. George's book series follows Trumpet's life, highlighting conservation efforts and the importance of protecting endangered species. Her latest book, "Trumpet Becomes a Mom," chronicles Trumpet's journey of motherhood, which was actually captured live on the center's webcams. The second half of the episode features Vanessa Roeder, who introduces her playful book "Narwhal versus Kindergarten." This charming story follows Hugo, a narwhal navigating his first week of kindergarten with a comically inconvenient tusk. What makes the book special is its underlying message of empathy and inclusion. Roeder cleverly includes background stories of other animals struggling in their own ways, teaching children that everyone faces challenges and that working together makes those challenges easier. Both authors share fascinating insights into their creative processes. George was inspired by Trumpet's real-life conservation story, while Roeder began with a simple sketch of a narwhal wearing a necktie. Their conversations reveal how children's books can be powerful tools for teaching complex concepts like wildlife preservation, empathy, and mutual support. The episode is a heartwarming exploration of creativity, compassion, and the magic of storytelling. Whether discussing wolf conservation or a narwhal's kindergarten adventures, these authors demonstrate how children's literature can educate, entertain, and inspire young readers. Listeners are left with a renewed appreciation for the depth and creativity found in modern children's books, and perhaps a newfound curiosity about wolves, narwhals, and the incredible stories waiting to be told.

In this delightful episode of "Reading with Your Kids," host Jed Doherty sits down with two remarkable authors who are changing the landscape of children's literature through powerful storytelling. First up is Christie Mandin, who introduces her charming character Millie Fleur. In her latest book, "Millie Fleur Saves the Night," Mandin explores themes of community, difference, and courage through the lens of a quirky character living in Garden Glen, a neighborhood where conformity is king. Mandin shares her own experiences of not fitting into traditional "boxes" and how this inspired her writing. She passionately discusses the importance of literacy, empathy, and understanding, highlighting how reading can help children develop critical thinking and compassion. The conversation then shifts to Claribel Ortega and her "Witchlings" series. Ortega's books follow three young witches who are considered "spares" - magical outcasts who must prove themselves. She reveals how the story emerged almost magically, with the first line appearing in her mind and demanding to be written. The series tackles complex themes like community, resilience, and challenging systemic injustices, all wrapped in an engaging magical adventure. Both authors emphasize the power of storytelling in helping children understand complex social dynamics. They discuss how their books encourage young readers to be curious, kind, and brave in the face of fear and difference. Mandin's work explores how communities often fear what they don't understand, while Ortega's series shows how young people can overcome systemic challenges through friendship and determination. The episode is a heartwarming celebration of children's literature, showcasing how books can be powerful tools for teaching empathy, understanding, and social awareness. Jed Doherty's engaging interview style brings out the authors' passion and insights, making this a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in the transformative power of storytelling.

Get ready for a double dose of middle-grade magic! In this exciting episode of Reading with Your Kids, Jed Doherty takes listeners on two incredible literary adventures. First up, Rachel Renee Russell and her daughter Nikki dive into the colorful world of Dork Diaries. What started as a black and white series in 2009 has transformed into a vibrant, eye-catching experience. Nikki shared the mind-blowing coloring process, which involves up to 300 layers per image, creating a Pixar-style visual feast that took three years to complete. Then, Jed switches gears to chat with Max Braillier about The Last Kids on Earth and the Destructors' Lair. The 10th book in this monster-packed series continues to captivate young readers with its unique blend of humor and apocalyptic adventure. Braillier reveals the series was born from his childhood daydreams of escaping adult rules and diving into epic adventures. Both authors share fascinating insights into their creative processes. Rachel and Nikki discuss transforming their artwork with color, while Max explains how he keeps the Last Kids on Earth series fresh by exploring different genres and storytelling styles. They both highlight the importance of creating worlds that allow kids to escape, laugh, and imagine. A delightful moment comes when Max shares his own reading adventures with his daughter, reading Harry Potter together and creating lasting memories. Similarly, Rachel and Nikki's collaborative approach to creating Dork Diaries showcases the beautiful connection between creativity and family. Whether you're a fan of zombie-fighting adventures or colorful diary doodles, this episode offers something for every young reader.  It's a celebration of imagination, creativity, and the magic of storytelling!

In an exciting episode of Reading with Your Kids, filmmaker Morgan Stevenson Cooper shares a powerful message about children's creativity and empowerment through his debut picture book, "I Can Make a Movie". This inspiring conversation explores how modern technology and storytelling can transform young minds. Cooper's book follows Nora Rose, a young girl making her first film with her brother and cousins, highlighting the incredible opportunity children now have to create movies using devices in their pockets. Beyond just filmmaking, the book teaches critical life skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and creative thinking. In a world where children are constantly bombarded with advertisements and influencer content, Cooper emphasizes the importance of encouraging kids to think independently. His book serves as a gentle reminder that children can be active creators, not just consumers. By showing young Nora making deliberate choices about shots, wardrobe, and storytelling, the book inspires children to trust their instincts and believe in themselves. The conversation also tackles timely topics like artificial intelligence's impact on creativity. Cooper believes that human-made art will always have a unique texture and spirit that AI cannot replicate. He's passionate about directing creative output towards inspiring the next generation, hoping that artists will increasingly focus on creating meaningful content for children. Parents and educators will find Cooper's approach refreshing. He sees storytelling as more than entertainment—it's a tool for empowerment. By giving children the confidence to tell their own stories, we're helping them develop critical life skills and autonomy.    We also sit down with Blair Williamson who shares her passion for ocean conservation through two delightful children's books: "Birthday Bash" and "The Ocean Protectors". Drawing from her background as a scuba diving instructor and boat captain, Williamson crafts stories that not only entertain but also educate children about environmental challenges. "Birthday Bash" follows Kiko, a mouse on a houseboat dealing with a chaotic bug, while "The Ocean Protectors" introduces young readers to the critical issue of coral reef bleaching through the eyes of two sisters determined to make a difference. Williamson's approach to environmental storytelling is both gentle and empowering, focusing on hope and actionable steps children can take to protect our planet. From discussing the dangers of plastic bags to highlighting the importance of reef-safe sunscreen, her books encourage young readers to become environmental advocates. With upcoming projects including a marine archaeology book and a young adult novel about life as a yachty, Williamson continues to use her unique experiences and storytelling skills to inspire the next generation of ocean protectors and creative thinkers.

Where is the line between healthy gaming and unhealthy gaming? How much gaming is too much? And when does a gaming habit evolve into gaming addiction? These are some of the questions regarding screen time that I hear from many parents, and they highlight some of the ongoing challenges families face in raising children who can be responsible tech users and whose screen use and gaming doesn't interfere with their lives in a way that can be harmful or keep them stuck. So when I learned of the new book How to Raise a Healthy Gamer: End Power Struggles, Break Bad Screen Habits, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Kids by Dr. Alok Kanojia, I knew I wanted to invite him onto the show to talk about all things gaming with us. In this conversation, we talked about how we as parents can know whether our child is addicted to video games or not, why screen time limits and restricting gaming time are at odds with the goal of raising a healthy gamer, and how to shift to a holistic approach that considers overall well-being and goal-setting. We also talked about why children with ADHD are more susceptible to addictive behaviors surrounding gaming and how to raise healthy gamers from a young age. Dr. Alok Kanojia is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in the intersection of technology x mental health. Also known as ”Dr. K” to millions of people on the internet, Dr.Kanojia is the co-founder of Healthy Gamer, a mental health platform that serves the digital generation. He has inspired millions of people with online content while overseeing the mental health coaching of thousands of young people. He is widely regarded as the foremost expert on video game addiction and most prominent mental health authority for young people. When he's offline, he's usually traveling, gardening, or grilling with his family. Things you'll learn from this episode  How to determine if your child has a gaming addiction, and why it's important to trust your instincts Why screen time limits and carrot and stick approaches surrounding a child's gaming is at odds with the goal of raising a healthy gamer Why children with ADHD are more susceptible to addictive behaviors surrounding gaming The importance of engaging in open and non-judgmental communication with your child about their gaming habits and the impact it has on their life How to shift to a holistic approach that considers overall well-being and goal-setting Ideas for proactively creating healthy gaming habits with younger children learn more at https://tiltparenting.com/session365 Learn more about your ad choices.
