How To Raise An Adult with Julie Lythcott-Haims

Parenting For The Present ·

2021/10/25

Invariably, we all want what is best for our children. As parents, we would give anything for them to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. But that eagerness to give them the world can create problems. If we move from being a teacher and advocate to something more, we run the risk of stripping them of the opportunity to learn and grow into the fullness of who they could be. This conundrum fascinates Julie Lythcott-Haims, compelling her to help parents raise healthy, self-sufficient kids. She is the

Happy Campers with Audrey Monke

2021/05/24

We’ve likely all heard the idiom “happy campers” thrown around - maybe even from our own mouths as we wish a better attitude on our kids! But for Audrey Monke, those two words have taken on a whole new meaning. She has taken her 36 years of experience as a summer camp owner/director and turned it into a parenting website, a podcast, and now a book - titled “Happy Campers”. In the book, and on this episode, she shares with us camp secrets for raising kids who become thriving adults. She has seen what

2021/05/10

We all want to keep our children safe. But we also want them to become self-sufficient, fully formed adults; so how do we balance both? This question is always challenging to answer, but particularly so when it comes to exposure to drugs and alcohol. New York Times bestselling author Jessica Lahey joins us today to discuss her new book, The Addiction Inoculation, in which she details, through story and research, how to 'raise healthy kids in a culture of dependence.' She talks about finding the

The New Adolescence with Dr. Christine Carter

Parenting For The Present ·

2021/04/26

The world is changing. Rapidly. And while that's news to no one, its effects can sometimes range further than we initially realize. Teenage lives are far from untouched; actually, it seems like they may be more affected than almost any other age group. And when it comes to parenting those teenagers, the methods that may have worked when we were growing up seem less and less relevant, and less and less effective. Dr. Christine Carter has picked up on these trends. Through both research and her

Thrivers with Dr. Michele Borba

Parenting For The Present ·

2021/03/29

If we were to boil down our hopes and dreams for our children into one word, it would be hard to think of a better one than 'thrive'. No matter the specifics, we want to see our kids be happy, healthy, and successful. But, due to social pressures and outdated cultural norms, it can be easy to put our parental energy in the wrong places on our quest to help thrive. So how do we help them become their fullest selves? Dr. Michele Borba has taken the better part of 40 years to answer that question. She

The Right Mix with DJ Lucy Wrubel

Parenting For The Present ·

2021/03/15

For some, music is nothing more than whatever happens to be on the radio when they start the car. For others, it's a way of life - inextricable from their highest highs and lowest lows. It's safe to say Lucy Wrubel falls squarely in the latter category. She has been a professional DJ for the last 20 years, a career spanning both musical genres and countries around the world. But her love of music is far from mere appreciation; it was a crucial part of her upbringing, and plays a major role in the

If you’re a listener to this podcast, it’s safe to say you are invested in becoming the best parent to your child or children that you possibly can. But “best” is often subjective and almost always situational. So what are the parenting cornerstones on which we can rely? What’s been proven to work best, both anecdotally and scientifically? Dr. Tina Payne Bryson has made a career of seeking the answers to these questions. She is the author of the Bottom Line for Baby and co-author (with Dan Siegel)

After the year we've all had, it's no surprise that sometimes it's hard to keep a positive outlook. Feelings of fear, loneliness, and hopelessness can easily spring up and start to grow - in our children, and in ourselves. So how do we help our kids stay positive? What tools can we offer them? And what role does our own mental health play in our ability to help our kids through this?

Discipline can be one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. We long for our children to grow into healthy adults, forming good habits and understanding the consequences of their actions.

Meet Your Child Right Where They Are with Donavan Davis

2021/01/04

As parents, we desire the absolute best for our children. We strive to help them realize their full potential. But where's the line? What happens when we push them too fast, or too hard? Often, we don’t let our kids lead us to their passion. As parents, we are so busy making sure they will “become somebody” that we forget the someone our child really is on the inside. Donavan Davis internalized this truth in his approach to athletic concepts for kids. Mr. Donavan, as he's known in the Dallas area,

2020/12/21

Raising healthy, well-adjusted, thoughtful children takes an unmatched level of consistency and intention. While there will be watershed moments in parenting, much of our children's character can be traced back to the small, every day practices we emphasize as a family. Our kids leading mindful, compassionate lives starts with us. Amy Lewis Hofland has long recognized the importance of these principles, both in her role as a mother and as Senior Director of the Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas,
