Join us on this timely release of Episode 86 with Dr. Yanina Gomez, psychologist, author, educator, and speaker. She will be discussing the issue of navigating these uncertain times as artists. Her proactive approach is both enlightening and energizing. Dr. Yanina talks about the importance of cultivating a catalyst mindset instead of a victim mindset. As a catalyst of change, artists can think about issues they can control. For example artists can bring awareness, beauty, healing to a troubled world. Creatives play such an important role in shaping the human condition. That is why surrounding yourself with encouraging and supportive people is necessary to uplift each other and your community. Dr. Yanina Gomez earned her Phd in Psychology in 2009. She is a member of the American Psychological Association and has been trained in the Internal Family Systems Therapeutic Model. She is the author of Moms Don't Quit! How to Influence, Empower and Stay Connected with Your Tween or Teen in a Noisy World and lead author of Crush Self-Sabotage and Live Fully! The Artist's Wellness Journey to Confidence and Success. She is the co-founder of ArtNXTLevel with her artist, Sergio Gomez. Their mission is to act as a catalyst for transforming artistic aspirations into tangible results. At ArtNXTlevel®, professional growth, self-confidence, and career success are not just goals—they are actionable steps revealed in a global online community of artists.

Are you navigating the tumultuous tween years with your child and wondering what makes this stage so unique? Do you find yourself caught off guard by sudden emotional outbursts and unexpected behavior changes in your 9-14 year old? My guest today is an expert on tweens. Joann Schauf is the founder of Your Tween and You, an author and a seasoned speaker who specializes in parenting and adolescent coaching. She authors the blog, The Tween Times, and actively engages with parents through workshops and conferences. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling. Joann Schauf discusses the crucial process of identity formation in tweens, emphasizing that this period is marked by significant changes in their sense of self. Tweens experience a variety of emotions and face confusion as they navigate their developing identities. They might express doubt, confidence, and fluctuating interests in rapid succession, all while questioning their beliefs and experimenting with different roles. Schauf highlights the importance of mothers shifting their parenting approach to be more collaborative and supportive, rather than authoritative. Moms should engage in open conversations, allow their tweens to express themselves, and offer guidance without judgment. By doing so, they provide a safe environment for tweens to explore and understand who they are becoming, fostering both independence and a strong parent-child connection.

After earning her Master of Science in Counseling, she worked as a therapist in a psychiatric hospital and served as a counselor in secondary schools and colleges.  Her interactions with parents of tweens, who were confounded by their children's burgeoning adolescence and the influence of technology, led her to write her best-selling book Loving the Alien, How to Parent Your Tween. As the parent of four, she experienced the same challenges and frustrations! JoAnn lives in Austin, Texas and spends her free time volunteering and on the beach in California.

She opened her own business, Your Tween and You, about 6 years ago to help parents navigate the challenges of raising tweens. The challenges of parenting tweens @ 2:04 JoAnn discusses the common challenges parents face when their children transition from happy, compliant kids to more distant, independent tweens.

Importance of parent-child connection @ 6:00 Michael and JoAnn emphasize the importance of parents staying present and connected with their tweens, even when the kids seem disinterested. Sharing stories, asking open-ended questions, and spending quality time together can help maintain the relationship.

Resources and next steps @ 25:06 JoAnn shares information about her website, blog, and coaching services to help parents of tweens. She and Michael conclude by discussing the importance of raising happy, healthy children who will become future leaders.

Janelle Alberts and Ingrid Faro authors of Honest Answers: Exploring God Questions with Your Tween share with us on how to have conversations with our children about God, the Bible, Prayer, and the Church. Honest Answers is designed to help parents tackle the God questions that make them sweat. The authors know that when tweens start asking questions, they're already old enough to understand the answers. Alberts and Faro are determined to equip parents with the language, theology, permission, and confidence to join in the discussion—and to learn how to offer deeply doctrinal answers in a way that connects with their children. Honest Answers is divided into four parts, each with three chapters, addressing some of the biggest faith questions that come up: 1. The Bible: How it was put together, how history supports it, and the points of view of the writers. 2. Prayer: How to pray, when we don't get the answers we are wanting, and sticking with God regardless. 3. Faith and science: Why the two sides don't always agree, and how to handle situations that come up in school when what kids learn there doesn't line up with what they learn at church. 4. The church: How it is set up, why there are different denominations, and its past, present, and future. Each chapter begins with a “parent's primer” on a specific topic that tweens often ask questions about. The primer introduces the topic and provides further background information to share in later conversations with the kids. Next, an “honest answers Q&A” section is the part of the chapter to be read as a family. Each Q&A section begins with a brief introduction followed by six to eight multiple-choice questions to explore together. “Our kids want and deserve discussion about God and the Bible and don't accept simply being told what to think or believe,” Faro shares. “We can enter conversations providing solid and substantive responses to tough questions without jargon, fluff, or pat answers and don't need to be afraid of questions our kids may have.” “As parents, we want to feel confident enough to say to our kids, ‘Let's talk about that,' right at their point of interest,” Alberts adds. “However, that is not an easy thing to do. These core tenets of our faith have been debated over centuries and have involved councils, creeds, Bible translations, extraordinary feats of faith, and also terrible behavior. But we're the parents. These kids want to know what there is to know from us. If our kids see a pattern that when they come to us, they get honest, forthright discussion even if we do not know every answer, that will keep them coming to us as a resource as they mature in their faith.” The tween years present an incredible opportunity to build trust with kids and to keep them coming back to their parents for answers rather than finding other sources.  https://www.lainelawsoncraft.com Facebook Laine Lawson Craft Instagram @lainelawsoncraft Twitter @lainelawsoncrft

Yikes. Do we really have to have “The Talk”? Yes, we do… and sooner than we’d probably like to think. Studies show that giving our kids appropriate information *before* they need it not only makes them more likely to make good decisions once they become sexually active— it also may delay the age at which such activities will begin.  In this episode we discuss:  the ages and stages of The Talk (a four-year-old gets a different answer than a preteen)why you don’t want your kids’ peers to be the arbiters of this informationwhy there’s not one “talk,” but many (or should be)how to be an “askable parent” why mothers are usually the parents tasked with these conversationshow internet parental blockers can also prevent our kids from seeing useful sex-ed contenthow to punt when you’re caught off guard (which is fine as long as you circle back later)And here’s links to research and studies we discuss in this episode:  John Sharry, Solution Talk: Facts of Life: At What Age Should We Tell Our Children About Sex?

And if you’d rather stick your head in the sand, keep in mind it doesn’t have to be only about the improbable mechanics of it all. Here’s great advice from the Center for Young Women’s Health: Remember that sexuality is a much larger topic than sexual intercourse. It also includes topics such as gender, intimacy, sexual orientation… Talking to your tween about sexuality is an opportunity to share your beliefs about healthy behaviors and relationships with them.
