Welcome to Season 3

The only thing constant in parenting is change. Can I get an amen?! Whether your kids are about to start preschool or on the edge of the dreaded teenage years, chances are the next transition is coming sooner than you realize. Elise Knox provides insight regarding how she helps families walk through times of change as confidently and painlessly as possible.    

We all know that bullying is a big deal, but did you know it has a measurable impact on the brain? Dr. Fraser describes what a bullied brain looks like and how it can be repaired.

The term bully is thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? How is it different than being mean, and when does it cross the line into harassment? Dr. Ambroes Pass-Turner answers these questions (and more!) on this episode.

As parents we know that it’s important to encourage our kids to be creative, but sometimes it’s hard to know what this looks like at a practical level. This week Dr. Fajans provides insight about how he is doing this in his own home and provides insight about how to make this the norm in your own home.

Although parents of young kids might think cutting or other forms of self-harm is something they won't need to worry about until the teenage years, Dr. Kelly explains why this is not true. She explains how parents can actively work to prevent self-harm and how to respond if it does happen in their home.

Dr. Healy discusses practical (and fun!) ways to build grit and resilience within your kids to foster true happiness for parent and child.

Dr. Steve Hodges explains why bedwetting happens, and (more importantly!) how to help kids and families successfully address this common challenge. He also discusses the link between constipation and potty training difficulties.
