George W. Holden, Ph.D: Meta-parenting — What is it and why does it matter | Raising Parents #36 Sep 29, 2023

Welcome to a new episode of Raising Parents: The Parenting Science Insights Podcasts, as we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of parenting. Parenting, as we know it, is shaped by a complex interplay of societal shifts, technological advancements, and evolving cultural norms. In recent years, a new term has emerged on the parenting scene: meta-parenting.

This concept refers to the intentional practice of reflecting on and consciously managing one's parenting style, decisions, and beliefs. It's a self-aware and deliberate approach that recognizes the multifaceted challenges of raising children in our complex modern world.

Our host, Dina Sargeant, is joined by a distinguished guest, George W. Holden, a Professor Emeritus in the Psychology Department at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. George has a rich and diverse research background in social development, with a specific focus on parent-child relationships. His work spans areas such as parental social cognition and behavior, positive parenting, family violence, and discipline. Notably, George's research has received support from prestigious institutions, including the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the U.S. State Department. He is also the author or editor of several books, including "Parenting: A Dynamic Perspective," now in its 3rd edition.

Beyond his academic achievements, George's commitment to child welfare extends to his roles in organizations dedicated to ending the use of corporal punishment and preventing child maltreatment. He has received numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Mentor Award from the Society for Research in Human Development and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center on the Human Rights of Children at Loyola University, Chicago.

Join us for this enlightening conversation as Dina and George explore the fascinating world of meta-parenting and its implications for modern parents. It's a journey into self-awareness and conscious parenting that promises to shed light on the challenges and opportunities of raising children in today's rapidly changing world.

Tune in now to navigate the evolving educational landscape with insights, wisdom, and constructive connections.

Cynthia Andriani, M.Sc: Picky eating | Raising Parents #29 Aug 04, 2023

Picky eating, also known as selective eating, refers to a behavior characterized by the reluctance to try or consume certain types of food. It is a common phenomenon among children and adults alike, and has been a topic of concern and curiosity for generations.

While some individuals may find delight in a wide variety of flavors and textures, others develop an aversion to certain foods, limiting their dietary preferences significantly. Those affected may exhibit a strong preference for specific flavors, textures, or colors, often leading to a limited and repetitive diet.

Although it is a common occurrence during childhood, picky eating can persist into adolescence and adulthood, causing concern among parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Join host Dina Sargeant in this enlightening episode as she welcomes Cynthia Andriani, a working-studying mom and wife, who is also passionate about food research, science, kids, people, and social issues, especially malnutrition. Cynthia is currently studying Physics as an industrial Ph.D. student at the University of Auckland-New Zealand.

Emeritus Prof. J. David Hawkins: Preventing Teen Substance Abuse | Raising Parents #28 Jul 03, 2023

Adolescence is a time of exploration and self-discovery, often accompanied by a range of risky behaviors. While risk-taking is a natural part of adolescent development, excessive and uncontrolled behavior can have detrimental consequences. In order to navigate this crucial stage successfully, parents play a pivotal role in understanding, supporting, and guiding their children.

Adolescents are more prone to engage in risky behaviors due to various factors, including brain development, peer influence, and the desire for independence. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for decision-making and impulse control, undergoes significant development during this period. As a result, teenagers often exhibit increased sensitivity to reward and reduced sensitivity to potential risks, making them more likely to engage in thrill-seeking activities. Moreover, peer pressure and the need to fit in can lead adolescents to make impulsive choices without considering the potential consequences.

Join host Dina Sargeant in this enlightening episode as she welcomes J. David Hawkins. He is the Endowed Professor of Prevention Emeritus and Founding Director of the Social Development Research Group. He received his BA in 1967 from Stanford University and his Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University in 1975.

Moreover, David’s research focuses on understanding and preventing child and adolescent health and behavior problems. He seeks to identify risk and protective factors for health and behavior problems across multiple domains; to understand how these factors interact in the development of healthy behavior and the prevention of problem behaviors. He develops and tests preventative measures that seek to reduce risk through the enhancement of strengths and protective factors in families, schools, and communities.

During the episode, David emphasized the role of the environment and parents in responding to adolescent behavior and minimizing the risks that will occur.

Lu Ngo: A Child’s Reflection on Parenting | Raising Parents #16 Mar 10, 2023

Talking about parenting, it is indeed a complex and challenging experience. We often discuss ways to improve our parenting skills, how to effectively resolve issues that arise with our children, and address many questions that parents have about raising children. However, have we ever considered looking at parenting through the perspective of a child?
In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant was joined by Lu Ngo, host of the Happiness Science podcast, “Seroboost”, and the Wellbeing Science podcast, “Doing Well”, on the LMSL Team. Five years ago, Lu made the big decision to choose Melbourne as her second home, moving from Hanoi, Vietnam to pursue her Master's Degree in Project Management.
With that background, Lu shared her perspective on her parents' parenting style and the challenges of traditional Southeast Asian upbringing, including emotional trauma caused by her parents' feelings toward each other. Lu emphasized the importance of working on oneself to become a good parent, especially in terms of dealing with past experiences and emotional trauma. They also agreed on how one's parenting style can affect future generations and stressed that parenting is not an easy task for both the parent and the child.

Kantiana Taslim: Importance and Challenges of Children’s Sex Education | Raising Parents #13 Feb 10, 2023

Parents play a crucial role in preparing their children for the world and helping them grow with a good understanding of various situations, including sexual education. Sexual education may be a sensitive topic, but it is important to maintain open communication with children from an early age to provide them with accurate information and help them grow into responsible individuals.
In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant is joined by Kantiana Taslim, a clinical psychologist from Indonesia. Kantiana practices at her clinic, Ohana Space, and covers a wide range of issues, including developmental issues in children, emotional issues in adolescents, and family issues that parents might seek help with.
This week's episode is a bit different as Kantiana tried to get an initial understanding of sexual education from Dina. Kantiana then highlighted that in some cultures, particularly in Asia, sexual education is still considered as a taboo topic to discuss in public, even some people are still giggling when they talk about it. Afterward, Kantiana emphasized the importance of children learning about consent, healthy relationships, and gender identity, in addition to the biological aspects of sexuality. She also provided instances of situations and practices when children are involved in talk about sexual education.

Dr. Robert A Saul: Conscious Parenting | Raising Parents #10 Jan 20, 2023

How many of us have subconsciously set a standard of how your child should behave? If you have, chances are you’re not alone. Some parents have desires for their child’s life even before they’re born whether it's wanting your child to live a good life or to go to college when they get older. Conscious parenting aims to teach us to understand that our expectations may not be the reality.
In this week’s episode our host, Dina Sargeant is joined by Pediatrician and author, Dr Robert A. Saul, who specializes in teaching parents to raise children to be a positive influence in society. He has studied and practiced his teachings for over 40 years, publishing four books on raising children.
Dr. Saul talks about his previous work with children, professionally and personally, and how important it is to first be emotionally self-aware as an individual before being a parent. They talk about how allowing a child to be a child can create a healthy environment for growth, while also teaching them skills of mindfulness at an early age.
