    S2 EP5: The Art of Deception: The Solution – Part 3

    In this final episode of The Art of Deception series, I move from awareness to action. For two episodes, we’ve talked about deception, influence, propaganda, and how social media and modern culture compete for the heart, mind, and loyalty of your children. But awareness without action changes nothing. So today I answer the question every parent should be asking: What is the solution? The solution is not more control. It is not more fear. It is not stricter rules. The solution is becoming a Parent on a Mission. If we are going to compete with the masters of influence, we must grow in our own emotional maturity, intentionality, and relational leadership. In this episode, I share the four foundational steps to reclaiming and maintaining your influence: Know Yourself to Grow Yourself Emotional maturity is not automatic. Growing older is automatic. Growing up is not. Influence flows from our growth.Understand the Power of Your Thoughts Your thought life shapes your relationships. 80% of internal self-talk is negative. That matters. All relationships flow from your relationship with yourself.The Power of Your Choices Your choices are rooted in your thinking. We are not victims of circumstances. We are responsible for our choices within them.The Power of Forgiveness Unforgiveness is emotional self-imprisonment. You cannot lead your children from an emotional wheelchair.This is not just parenting advice. It is leadership training for parents who want connection, clarity, and influence. If you are tired of competing with your child’s phone… If you are tired of chaos… If you are ready to lead your home with purpose… This episode is for you. Listen now. Remember: Parents on a Mission is not for bad parents. It’s for good parents who want to get better.

    S2: EP 3 - The Art of Deception – How Parents Can Win the Battle for Influence Without Losing Their Child (Part 1)

    Welcome back to The Parent Whisperer Podcast. I’m Richard Ramos, and in this episode we begin an important new series about something every parent is feeling but few fully understand. Why does parenting feel harder than ever,  even when you are doing your best? Parents today are not less loving. Children are not more broken. But the environment of influence has radically changed. We are raising children in the most aggressive influence environment in human history. Social media, smartphones, and artificial intelligence are not just tools — they are systems designed to learn our children emotionally, capture their attention, and shape how they see themselves and the world. This episode is not about fear. It is about clarity. If you have ever felt like you are losing connection with your child… like a screen has more influence than you… like conversations are harder and pushback is stronger… you are not failing. The goalposts of influence have moved. In this episode, I explain: • Why good parents today feel like they are losing ground • How modern influence works emotionally before it works logically • Why even children from healthy homes are vulnerable • How psychological influence happens without kids realizing it • Why parenting today requires discernment, not panic Influence is not lost overnight. And it is not gained overnight. But it can be strengthened. In the next episode, I will go deeper into emotional hijacking and how parents can respond in ways that rebuild influence without losing connection. Listen to the full episode on The Parent Whisperer Podcast and share it with a parent who needs encouragement and clarity. Remember, the goal of parenting is not control. It is influence. Parents on a Mission is not for bad parents. It’s for good parents who want to get better.

    S2 EP 2: It does NOT take a Village.

    It Does Not Take a Village. It Takes Parents. Welcome back to The Parent Whisperer Podcast. I am Richard Ramos, and in this episode I am addressing a phrase we have all heard for years. It takes a village to raise a child. While that idea may have once reflected community support, today it often means something very different. Many of the systems that make up our modern village no longer share the same values, priorities, or protections that families need. In this episode, I explain why parents must be careful about where they place their trust and why the strongest influence in a child’s life must still come from home. This is not about fear. It is about awareness, responsibility, and stepping fully into your role with confidence and love. Our culture is full of voices trying to guide, shape, and define our children. But no institution can replace the power of a connected, present, and engaged parent. Your kids do not need a village to raise them. They need you. In This Episode, I Cover: Why the phrase it takes a village has become misleading in today’s culture How outside systems are increasingly influencing children’s beliefs and identity The risks of assuming every authority has your child’s best interest at heart Why discernment is one of the most important parenting skills today How a strong parent child bond protects children emotionally and mentally Listen and Watch: You can now watch or listen to The Parent Whisperer Podcast on YouTube.

    S2 EP 1: Parents - Take Back Your Authority.

    Parents - Take Back Your Authority. Welcome to Season 2 of The Parent Whisperer Podcast. I’m Richard Ramos, and I’m excited to be back with a brand new season in 2026. This podcast exists for one simple reason: to turn the hearts of parents back to their children and the hearts of children back to their parents. I believe the parent child relationship is the greatest solution to the challenges we are facing in our communities, our nation, and around the world. When families are strong, communities are strong. When parents are confident, children thrive. In this first episode of the season, I share why parental authority is under attack, how cultural and political ideologies have been working for generations to remove parents from the center of their child’s life, and why it is more important than ever for moms and dads to reclaim their voice. This season, I’ll be bringing insight, education, encouragement, and guidance to help you lead your family with wisdom, courage, and unconditional love. I’ll also be adding video episodes on YouTube and inviting guests to join me for powerful conversations. Your kids do not need you to be perfect. They need you to be present. Make 2026 the year you focus more than ever on your relationship with your children. In This Episode, I Cover: Why the parent child relationship is the foundation of every healthy societyHow parents are being pushed out of education, healthcare, and decision makingThe historical forces that shaped today’s anti family cultureWhy parents must remain the final authority in their child’s lifeHow to lead your children with wisdom instead of fearListen and Watch: You can now watch or listen to The Parent Whisperer Podcast on YouTube.
