    334: Stop The Medication Guessing Game

    Stop the Guessing Game: Is Your Teen’s "Broken" Brain Actually a Superpower? 🧠✨ Are you exhausted by the endless cycle of new medications, different therapists, and "wait and see" approaches that never seem to work for your teenager? It feels like you're throwing darts in the dark, hoping one eventually hits the mark while your child continues to struggle. What if you could turn the lights on? [00:01] I’m Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent, and today I am joined by the brilliant Dr. Steve Rando, founder of Axon EEG Solutions. Together, we are pulling back the curtain on a game-changing approach to mental health: Brain Mapping (qEEG). [00:30] Dr. Rando challenges the standard "trial and error" method of psychiatric medication. He shares how objective brain data can reveal that a "broken" teen might actually just be a high-performing brain in the wrong environment. Think of it like a Husky living in the desert—the dog isn't the problem; the ecosystem is. [15:30] In this deep-dive episode, we explore: The End of Guesswork: How brain scans provide a "lab test" for mental health, similar to a blood test or X-ray. [08:50] Validation for Your Child: Why seeing their own brain map can help a teen stop feeling "lazy" or "crazy" and start feeling empowered. [21:37] The "Husky" Metaphor: Understanding unmet needs and how to curate an environment where your child’s unique brain can thrive. [32:00] Beyond Medications: Using data to choose the right sports, hobbies, and educational settings for your child’s specific wiring. [34:50] If you’ve ever asked, "Why isn't therapy working?" or "Why does this medication make things worse?", this conversation is the answer you’ve been praying for. It’s time to move from chaos to connection by understanding the beautiful complexity of your child's brain.

    331: Preparing for the Worst: Disaster Preparedness for Parents

    Preparing for the Worst: Disaster Preparedness for Parents Would your family know exactly what to do if a disaster struck tomorrow? Most of us don't like to think about the "what-ifs," but being prepared is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos tackles the vital topic of disaster preparedness, moving beyond the fear and focusing on practical, age-appropriate ways to get your entire household ready for the unexpected. It’s not just about having a flashlight and extra water; it’s about building a "culture of readiness" that empowers your children rather than scaring them. Kristina walks you through how to create a comprehensive family safety plan that covers everything from natural disasters to house fires. You’ll learn how to involve your kids in the process, making preparedness feel like a team-building exercise rather than a scary lecture. In this video, we cover: The "Go-Bag" Essentials: What every child’s emergency kit needs to include (and why comfort items are just as important as bandages!). Communication Strategies: Establishing a "meeting point" and an out-of-state contact so your family can find each other if cell service goes down. Role-Playing Safety: How to run a family emergency drill that teaches kids muscle memory without causing anxiety. Mental Resilience: Kristina shares tips on helping children manage stress and stay calm during high-pressure situations. Disaster preparedness is a core pillar of being an impactful parent. When you take the time to prepare, you aren't just securing your physical safety—you're teaching your children self-reliance, foresight, and how to remain calm in the face of adversity. Kristina Campos breaks down these complex safety protocols into manageable steps that any busy parent can follow. 0:00 Preparing for the worst 1:34 A unique approach to preparing children for disasters. 2:32 What should we be doing instead of trying to be calm? 6:19 Prepared backpacks 8:15 What are the three things a family actually needs to know to survive the first hour of a crisis? 10:25 What are the 5 things they should have on their person that could save their life? 15:49 The "Nintendo Switch" Rule 18:14 What is the one item most parents forget to stock that causes the most stress 48 hours into a lockdown? 21:45 What is the very first thing a parent should say or do to "seize control" of the room when the lights go out or the sirens start? 25:11 What are the rules around pet evacuation? 28:46 How should a evaluate a school's preparedness for disasters? 30:43 MORE FROM PATRICK 33:36 What is the most impactful thing a parent can do for a child preparing for disasters?   Rate, Review, & Subscribe!

    330: Teenage Depression

    Teenage Depression Is your teenager pulling away, struggling with depression, or feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety? Welcome to The Impactful Parent, hosted by Kristina Campos. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the heart of the youth mental health crisis to find real, actionable solutions for families in distress. We aren’t just talking about the "why"—we are exploring the "how" of getting your child back. Kristina is joined by Dr. Will Dobud, co-author of the groundbreaking new book, Kids These Days. Together, they challenge the traditional "talk therapy" model and discuss why our modern, ultra-protective parenting style might accidentally be creating a "safety trap" that hinders teen resilience. In this video, you will discover: The Connection Gap: Why connection, not correction, is the first step toward healing [05:04]. The Safety Trap: How being the most protective generation in history has impacted our kids' ability to handle risk [05:22]. Adventure-Based Therapy: Why moving the body in nature can be more effective than sitting on a therapist's couch [23:45]. Smartphones & Social Media: A refreshing and controversial take on whether the phone is the cause or just a symptom of a deeper need for connection [37:09].   The "Problem-Free" Habit: A simple, 30-minute strategy you can start today to break the ice with a struggling teen [52:09]. Dr. Dobud shares his extensive experience in outdoor therapy, explaining how simple acts—like sitting around a campfire or even standing on one leg while brushing your teeth—can reorient a teen's brain toward mastery and hope [36:40]. If you feel helpless watching your teen spiral, this conversation is the "fire" you need to light a new path forward. It’s time to move from chaos to connection and help your adolescent build the autonomy they need to thrive in a confusing world.

I am here for YOU!  Contact me at theimpactfulparent@gmail.com  en Your Bond & Communication Kristina outlines three powerful strategies to improve your communication with teenagers: The Full Attention 10-Minute Rule [01:19]: Commit to 10 minutes of uninterrupted, full-attention time with each child daily. This is about quality, not quantity—meaning no phones and lots of open-ended questions to truly connect with your teen's world. Become a Hobby Apprentice [05:03]: Boost your teen’s confidence by asking them to teach you one of their current interests, whether it's a video game, a popular dance move, or a social media feature. Position your teen as the expert to build a low-pressure, shared-time environment. The Ritual of the Road/Car Confessions [08:16]: Designate a non-negotiable, distraction-free weekly activity (like a dog walk or a drive home from practice). This consistency creates a safe, predictable time for your teen to naturally open up, which is vital for a stronger parent-teen relationship. Model Healthy Habits & Resilience The second half focuses on promoting well-being without being over-controlling: Family Movement Challenge [12:38]: Implement a fun, monthly family challenge (like hiking or trying a new dance class) to collectively model an active lifestyle and physical well-being. Incentives are okay! Prioritize and Protect Sleep [14:12]: Establish a household rule for a device docking station outside of all bedrooms 30-60 minutes before lights out. This crucial step supports prioritizing sleep and sets clear screen time rules for teens. Model Vulnerability and Stress Management [16:57]: Share your own non-teen related stress management techniques (e.g., "I need to journal for 15 minutes to clear my head"). Teach your child to cope by modeling vulnerability and taking responsibility for your mistakes—or valuing the oops [19:34]. Start building a stronger, healthier connection with your teen now.

The teen years don’t need to be difficult. Teenagers CAN have a special bond with their parents! Listen and discover the tools and techniques you need to create connections, build trust, and have a stress-free household. This is only the beginning! Let’s get started, together! -Kristina Campos Founder of The Impactful Parent
