Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eps 676: Amber Traina, Positive Discipline Today
Q: What are some tools in the technology chapter that listeners can take away and put into practice?
Traina recommends a technology audit of both parents' habits and the child's individual needs, followed by clear agreements that children help make. She stresses that agreements should be adjusted as children demonstrate readiness, with parental safeguards and continued connection so children feel safe asking for help after mistakes.
Eps 676: Amber Traina, Positive Discipline Today
Q: What made now the time for revision, and what is new in this version?
The publisher wanted a new edition, and Jane Nelsen had already been revising the book. Amber Traina helped manage the project and co-wrote a new technology chapter. The revision incorporates newer child-development and brain research, foregrounds the kind-and-firm approach and adds an emphasis on focusing on solutions.
Eps 677: Out-of-Control Teenagers with Scott Sells.
Q: How does a parent know when it's time to bring in a professional?
Sells recommends professional support when interventions are falling flat, co-parents cannot get on the same page, or safety issues such as severe depression, self-harm, suicide threats, running away, or aggression put the teen or others at risk.
Eps 677: Out-of-Control Teenagers with Scott Sells.
Q: Where is the line between a teenager being a teenager and what you call extreme teenage behavior?
Sells says behavior becomes extreme when its type and duration go beyond ordinary moodiness or defiance, persisting for months or involving serious problems such as aggression, substance abuse, running away, threats of suicide, self-harm, severe anxiety, or depression.
Eps 673: Stuart Slavin on Teen Pressure
Q: What did you start seeing in your students and in your practice that made you say, hang on, this isn't about the individual kid in front of me, this is about the environment they're standing in?
Dr. Slavin explains that in medical school, depression and anxiety were widespread but often concealed; the key was to measure these issues and recognize the systemic drivers, not just individual pathology, and to reduce the load by cutting class time, changing grading, and adding resilience training.
