Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

217: Calming Teenage Anxiety – What’s A Parent To Do?
Q: When should parents seek external help like counseling or therapy for their teen?
When anxiety persists, disrupts functioning, or when the parent feels overwhelmed; start with conversations, consider school-based supports, and explore therapy or coaching options that suit the teen's preferences and readiness.
217: Calming Teenage Anxiety – What’s A Parent To Do?
Q: What should parents do in the moment when their teen is anxious in the car or at school?
Engage in a calm, validating conversation, avoid immediately fixing the problem, and plan a follow-up with the teen; involve school resources as needed, and move toward a collaborative plan that respects the teen's agency.
217: Calming Teenage Anxiety – What’s A Parent To Do?
Q: What factors contribute to teen anxiety and how do we differentiate normal teen worries from clinical anxiety?
There are innate biological factors and evolving brain chemistry at play, as well as social and environmental influences; recognizing a spectrum rather than a binary condition helps determine when to seek support and how to respond with empathy and collaborative strategies.
214: “Good Grandpa – Stories from The Heart of Grandfatherhood”, with Ted Page
Q: What do you think grandparents are looking for when they reach out to one another?
They often seek to share personal stories, build connections, and find a community that understands the depth and beauty of grandparenting.
214: “Good Grandpa – Stories from The Heart of Grandfatherhood”, with Ted Page
