    #287 How to Help Manage Device/Phone Use for Older Teens & Young Adults

    In today's digital age, managing tech boundaries with older teens and young adults can be a delicate balancing act. On this episode of The Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Rachel and Greg Denning dive deep into strategies for maintaining healthy tech boundaries and encouraging digital minimalism, especially with phones and devices. They share practical tips for parents seeking to help their teens thrive in a tech-saturated world while fostering meaningful offline activities, like hobbies and family engagement. One listener's question serves as the foundation for the conversation: “Hi there, I've admired your family and would love some insight on managing teen cell phone use. We’ve been a low-tech family—our oldest got her first phone at 16, with no apps or internet. Now at 18, she has minimal apps and no social media, but she's constantly on her phone, texting or using Marco Polo. She no longer engages in hobbies like playing piano or spending time with siblings. How have you balanced freedom with boundaries for older teens? We want to give her more freedom but are struggling to see her disconnect from life as she used to.” Rachel and Greg share their personal experiences, offering tips on how to set tech boundaries that encourage freedom without sacrificing connection or personal growth. They discuss the impact of screen time on development, the importance of modeling healthy behaviors, and the need for families to view technology as a tool—not a toy. Tune in for actionable strategies to help your teens build a healthier relationship with their devices and rediscover meaningful offline connections.

    #282 The Power of Judgment in a Fragile Society: Raising Resilient Children in a 'Sensitive' World

    In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning delve into the pervasive issue of entitlement in families and society, exploring how it shapes behavior and undermines resilience. They emphasize the importance of free speech as a tool for understanding and compromise, highlighting that open communication often requires navigating discomfort. A recurring theme is the critical role parents play in fostering resilience in children, rather than over-coddling them. The hosts argue that life's pressures should be reframed as challenges to overcome, and that healthy mindsets, grounded in self-reliance and gratitude, are essential for personal growth. Personal responsibility and fostering grit and resilience are key to navigating the challenges of life. The episode stresses that the world does not owe us —we must learn to adapt to the world. Over-accommodation, whether in families or society, can weaken individuals, while healthy boundaries are necessary for growth. Judgment, often seen as negative, is discussed as a crucial tool for safety and well-being. Avoiding judgment can lead to dangerous situations, making it important to judge wisely to protect ourselves from harm. Finally, the episode encourages embracing life’s difficulties with a strong mindset, fostering personal responsibility and a readiness to overcome adversity. This episode provides valuable insights on personal responsibility and self-reliance, encouraging listeners to embrace challenges and develop strength in the face of adversity.

    #280 Here's WHY You Don't ALREADY Have the Truly Fulfilling Family Life You Want

    In this inspiring episode, hosts Greg and Rachel Denning delve into the philosophy of 'escaping the unhappy dream of our life' and creating a truly fulfilling life instead. They discuss why so many people are 'content' with the results they have instead of pursuing the results they really want. Creating a truly happy life requires deliberate choices and intentional actions. Hard work is required to achieve anything extraordinary. The difference is, with the right coaching and mentoring, you can learn to work hard with 'power tools' instead of doing everything 'by hand'. The Dennings also explore how divine discontent can fuel personal growth and transformation and can be the key to fulfillment. They highlight the importance of continuous effort in pursuing happiness and encourage listeners to reject mediocrity in favor of an extraordinary life. Because if they can do it, so can you, since they began their journey as completely 'normal' people. It’s time to identify what you truly want and take the first steps (even baby steps) toward a life you love!
