Parenting Our Future

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we"re parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own

It’s so important to understand that we all feel fear and anxiety. Fear is meant to protect us and keep us safe so when our kids are scared, we need to reassure them that it’s normal and natural.

This helps kids feel more confident and that leads to higher resilience. Christina Furnival is returning to my show for the second time to talk us through how to

2022/11/08

Our kids are naturally curious explorers who can easily get caught up in their own world of make believe and play! It’s wonderful to experience and it’s vital to their growth and development. BUT we don’t have to take on the role of full-time entertainer, and our kids don’t need us to (it’s also not a crime if our kids are bored!).

Should we be thinking about social media as risky behavior, equal to drinking alcohol, doing drugs, unprotected sex and operating heavy machinery? Sciencedirect.com defines risky behavior as: “Risk taking is any consciously, or non-consciously controlled behavior with a perceived uncertainty about its outcome, and/or about its possible benefits or costs for the physical, economic or psycho-social well-being of oneself or others.” In other words, it’s behavior that can cause harm to

Defending Young Minds from Pornography | POF171

2022/10/18

Talking to your kids about online safety, needs to be as normal as teaching them to safely cross the street. I know we would rather not talk about pornography but the reality is, that every child with a device connected to the internet, is a portal to porn. If you don’t talk to your kids, they will be all alone when they come across porn, (not if, when) and not know how to process what they’ve seen, or have the language for it. Thankfully there are people like my guest, Kristen Jeson who

Emotional intelligence is more and more important, especially in parenting, especially in today’s day and age.
