PART ONE: Whose Life is This? Parenting Experts Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson on How to Raise Resilient Kids and Lower the Stress Levels for Everyone at Home

12/04/22 • 41 min

Any parent with a teenager at home knows that each day can be a struggle. We want to enjoy these years before they fly from the nest, but we live with the drama and pushback that comes from enforcing the house rules while they still live under our roof. Couple that with the pressures and anxiety teenagers face today– including those we unknowingly place on our kids– and we have a recipe for anxious and stressed-out kids and parents.

Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, authors of parenting books The Self Driven Child and What Do You Say? are here to tell us that if we, as parents, are stuck in this cycle and find ourselves doing 90% of the worrying about our kids’ futures (with them doing only 10% of the worrying and work), then we need to change the energy. Stop fighting, stop nagging, and let your kids find their way to happiness and success. This, Bill and Ned tell us, is how our kids will become self-motivated, resilient, and successful humans.

EPISODE 3 REPLAY: Kindness 9-1-1: Chanda Brodnax-Nino on How Being Laid Off Led to the Start of a Successful Business and Fulfilling a Life-Saving Calling

In celebration of Thanksgiving, this week we hope you will listen –or re-listen– to one of our first episodes: an interview with Chanda Brodnax-Nino, someone who is committed to giving. She gives that extra degree to her students, she gives lifesaving care to her patients, and she gives kindness a priority position on the syllabus for her EMT training classes. Chanda reminds us how important it is to give a little something extra and to be thankful for those who return the favor.

Happy Thanksgiving!

PART 2: Whose Life is This? Parenting Experts Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson on How to Raise Resilient Kids and Lower the Stress Levels for Everyone at Home

In Part 2 of this two-part series, we continue our conversation with Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, authors of parenting books The Self Driven Child and What Do You Say? We talk with Bill and Ned about the importance of giving our kids autonomy, helping them learn how to manage technology (the dreaded phones and video games), and the importance of a good night’s SLEEP. And we talk about the all-important pursuit of happiness. Bill and Ned set us straight by reminding us that by the time they graduate from high school, most kids have already spent 90% of the time they will ever spend with us.
