  • Good Parenting Wisdom

    This podcast is very helpful and encouraging for us who have adult children. My eldest has a very toxic relationship with her estranged father. The episode with Nancy Pickard really inspired me and also saddened me because it reminded me of what my eldest and her father will lose if her father won’t grow up and take the advice given in this episode. This show does a great job of providing resources for parents who have adult children. It’s a much needed topic.

  • Very frustrating so far.

    I was looking for information that may actually be helpful as we parent our adult children. I haven’t even finished my first listen and I’m already frustrated. There is a guest on the show who seems to have some very helpful information but the host keeps interjecting with stories about himself and talking about various comedians he watches. I guess he’s trying to make it somewhat light hearted, but it is not helpful and it is really distracting. I’m not looking for jokes or learning how he and ... more

  • On Counseling

    These are needed conversations. The innovative counseling episode really spoke to me. We mostly parent the way we were parented, unless we reflect and choose a better path. Insightful!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parenting Before the Crisis: How Proactive Strategies Change Everything
Q: What critical steps can parents take to aid their children in recovery?
Begin with prevention by teaching life skills and providing a proactive framework (PACES). If crisis hits, shift to a supportive, boundary-driven approach, escalate urgency and specificity, seek resources, and be transparent with your child while modeling humility and accountability.
Healing Tension With Adult Children: A Respect‑Centered Approach
Q: What strategies promote effective communication in family conflicts?
Prioritize genuine connection over correction, reflect back the other person's perspective to help them feel seen and understood, and work on self-awareness to avoid projecting your own pain onto others; use nonjudgmental observation rather than labeling to keep dialogue constructive.
Healing Tension With Adult Children: A Respect‑Centered Approach
Q: How can parents recognize unhelpful patterns with their adult children?
By identifying the three Rs—Retaliation, Rebellion, and Resistance—as indicators of power-over dynamics, and recognizing how forceful strategies often backfire, leading to ongoing conflict; the goal is to shift toward connection, empathy, and reflective listening to reduce reactivity.
Navigating Dyslexia: Insights for Parents with Russel VanBrocklin
Q: And let's say I have a parent that has a child that's dyslexic. Where do they start?
Start by identifying the child's specialty or area of extreme interest, then structure learning from the specific to the general, using focused problem-solving and context-driven activities to build writing and reading skills.
Forgiveness & Healing in Family Dynamics
Q: How would you approach talking to people who are not people of faith about your parenting approach?
Emphasize universal values like love, responsibility, and boundaries, and offer practical, non-religious steps while signaling that faith informs your perspective; respect their beliefs and invite dialogue rather than preaching.
