    Episode 212: Introducing Instagram New Teen Accounts with Naomi Gleit

    We were thrilled to be invited to the big announcement from Meta this week introducing their Instagram Teen Accounts! We got to sit down with Naomi Gleit, Head of Product at Meta, to talk about just what these changes mean for teens and for parents. We believe this is an important lesson…to hear about the changes and to hear her heart in wanting to partner with parents. It was such an encouraging conversation for us and we believe it will be for those of you in the throes of trying to protect your kids on social media. And, here are the highlights: private accounts (that started rolling out on Tuesday where they automatically shift your teenager to a private account) stricter messaging restrictions sensitive content restrictions (including anti-bullying AND cosmetic procedures limited interactions with only people they follow time limit reminders and sleep mode We’re trying to get our own teen accounts, too! We’d love to hear how your teenagers are responding to the changes and we’re so grateful for the thoughtfulness and intentionality of @naomigleit and her team!  . . . . .

    Episode 210: Moving From Pain to Purpose as a Family with Davey Blackburn

    Nothing is Wasted. It’s the name of his podcast, and also his powerful and inspiring book. Davey Blackburn has lived out these words in a way not many of us have or hopefully will ever have to experience in our lifetime. His story and simply who he is serve as powerful reminders that not only are we not alone on this journey, but that there is always hope, forgiveness and purpose that can be found in pain. We cannot wait for you to listen in on this conversation of moving from pain to purpose as a family! 2 Chronicles 20:12 - "Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us.

    Episode 209 - Milestone Two: How to have an Emotional Perspective

    Y’all, we really believe this episode is a MUST LISTEN. On a 1 to 10 scale when it comes to emotions, we’re seeing more kids who are living at 10 than ever before. They’re using big words. You’ve heard us say it…rather than sad, they’re saying “I’m depressed.” Rather than worried or stressed, they’re saying “I have anxiety.” When they get the very most upset, they say “I want to kill myself!” And we’re left wondering—and panicking—that it really might be true. We have GOT to help kids find their way not only to accurate words to describe their emotion but to the FOUNDATIONAL milestone of perspective. In other words, we know, as adults, that most of life is about a 3 to a 7 on a scale and we have to help kids find their way to the 3’s and the 7’s, so we really do know the 10’s are happening. Plus, that kind of perspective is crucial to healthy relationships, workplaces…just healthy life, in general. So, we really do believe this conversation is deeply important. Share it with your friends, with your spouse, on your stories, in all the spaces. We’ve got to change things for the kids we love.  . . . . .

    Episode 205: Are My Kids on Track - Milestone One: Emotional Vocabulary

    When you were growing up, did your parents pass a feelings chart around the dinner table? Or did you have healthy conversations around emotions? We’re guessing, for most of us, that’s a no—but we’d love to hear in the comments! In case you didn’t or are just wondering what a healthy emotional vocabulary looks like for your family, this episode is the one for you! In it, we discuss what it looks like to fold an emotional vocabulary into the life of your family, plus stumbling blocks and building blocks that are often more specific to girls and boys (and maybe mom’s and dad’s, too). We hope it’s help and that you’re HAPPY and ENCOURAGED once you have a chance to listen! Grab a copy of Are My Kids on Track? to follow along with us through the season! . . . . .
