  • What To Do When Your Kids Lie

    What To Do When Your Kids Lie
    Jun 7 2024
    Do your kids lie? The answer is likely yes. And we adults do, too, because honesty is not always the best policy.

  • Best of: When Your Teenager Doesn't Want to Do Anything This Summer

    Best of: When Your Teenager Doesn't Want to Do Anything This Summer
    May 31 2024
    In this recast of a popular episode from last year, sit in on Lynn's consultation with Mom, Dad and their high school junior who would prefer just staying in his room for most of the summer. Lynn helps identify the skill most teens need to strengthen — the skill of doing something you don't really want to do (and how it applies to getting a first job, applying to college, or completing schoolwork). Most parents will find this a very relatable episode about teens learning to motivate themselves to move forward despite some discomfort.

  • What To Do When Your Kid (of Any Age) Seems Upset

    What To Do When Your Kid (of Any Age) Seems Upset
    May 24 2024
    Parents often focus on the details of a child’s anxiety or frustration or distress. The parental interrogation fueled by “I have to know what happened and they should be able to tell me” is a common sentiment. Do you fall prey to needing to know the details? Our desire to know is less important than supporting our children’s ability to manage their emotions and learn problem solving. Can you help without knowing the details? Yes, yes, yes!
