The road to the stomach must go through the heart. In this interview, Dr. Macnamara gives us ideas on how to transfrom the chaos of mealtimes into a rich fusion of love, warmth, and emotional wellness.

In this episode you will learn about the secrets of the Inuit culture in northern Canada and how they raise some of the most emotionally intelligent children on the planet. What is so fascinating about this culture is they have parents that rarely, if ever, yell at their children; and they parent in such a way that the children are extremely resilient, compassionate, and emotionally regulated. The Inuit moms helped Michaeleen Doucleff, author and global health correspondent, completely rethink her discipline with her daughter, and in this podcast episode you will be gifted some of the biggest takeaways these Inuit mommas bestowed on Michaeleen during time with them. Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, is the author of the New York Times Best Seller Hunt, Gather, Parent. This book describes a way of raising helpful and confident children, which moms and dads have turn to for millennia. It also explains how American families can incorporate this approach into their busy lives.

Today, in our 100th episode, Tammy and Tania talk about how to help children with after-school meltdowns. During the first few months of school ( particularly with younger children), we often see behaviours at the end of the day that do not align with how our child usually interacts with their world. "After-school restraint collapse" - or the after school meltdown is usually the result a long day of rules, expectations, and pressures. There are strategies that we can put in place to help our children navigate these exhausting days- join Tammy and Tania as they explore different ideas to help bring your child back to a place of wellness and ease.

With most of our lives feeling chaotic and our minds constantly in a frenzy, staying connected with our children or ourselves can be difficult. When anxiety and stress hijack parents, they may be reactive with their children, which sets the stage for dysregulation in kiddos. What’s exciting is that in today’s episode, we will discuss how mindfulness can reduce our reactivity to our children and simply make us better, more grounded parents. Diana unearths some of the science that demonstrates how effective this tool is for both our physical and emotional health and dives into some simple mindfulness tools to get parents started that are simple and manageable. Diana Winston is the Director of UCLA Mindful, the Mindfulness Centre at UCLA Health. The LA Times calls her “one of the nation’s best-known teachers of mindfulness.” A former Buddhist nun, mother of a preteen, and Los Angeles resident, she is an author and teacher, she has taught mindfulness for health and well-being since 1983 in the medical and mental health fields and universities, businesses, nonprofits, and schools. She is the author of Fully Present, The Little Book of Being, and A Buddhist Guide for Teens.

In todays podcast, Dr. Ablon explores how conventional discipline methods often backfire, creating a downward spiral of resentment and frustration, and a missed opportunity for growth. In this refreshing approach of changing problem behaviour, Dr. Ablon helps parents to understand that often behaviour is a result of "skill, not will". He looks at how like flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem solving are all required to help a child to move through challenging moments- and how often these skills need to be nurtured in our kids.
In the podcast, Dr. Ablon walks a parent through how to use collaborative problem solving when her child refuses to get off of his xbox!
Stuart Ablon, Ph.D., is Founder and Director of Think:Kids in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. An award-winning psychologist, Dr. Ablon is Associate Professor and the Thomas G. Stemberg Endowed Chair in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Today's episode is with Dr Jo-Ann Finkelstein, author of the hot new release "Sexism and Sensibility. Dr. Finkelstein's work focuses on understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them.
The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it’s waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls’ strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls’ skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge: How do we teach girls to recognize and cope with these realities without crushing their optimism and belief that they can incite change?
Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who was educated at Harvard University and Northwestern University and now maintains a private clinical practice. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Ms., Your Teen, among other publications.

In this episode, Dr Jody Thomas explores how parents can create good health care experiences for their kids from the very start by empowering children with solid coping skills to help them manage the pain and distress of early pain experiences.
From vaccinations to the usual bumps and bruises to the 25% of kids who experience chronic pain, the research demonstrates that those early experiences have a massive impact on their health outcomes into adulthood. In this podcast, we look specifically at helping children through a fear of needles. Dr. Jody Thomas is the CEO and founder of the Meg Foundation.

Children and parents can both feel the pressure of belonging to a sports team where you feel the need to have a "return on investment," leading to resentment, suffering mental health, and injuries that can stop a career before it even starts. Jean Linscott, Ph.D., a clinical child psychologist, and husband Kenneth Ruoff, Ph.D are the co-authors of the newly released book "What is the Goal: The Truth About the Youth Sports Industry".
