In our eighth blog post, Dr. Denison reflects on our recent episode with Dr. Christine Carter. Dr. Denison emphasizes the importance of real-life connections for our kids in this age of ever-evolving technology and social media. By also evolving our own parenting techniques and assuming the vital role of “life coach”, we can help breed true happiness in our kids.

In our seventh blog post, Dr. Housson reflects on one of our most recent episodes with Eddie Coker, the founder of The Wezmore Project. Dr. Housson reminds us of Eddie’s emphasis on the importance of a social-emotional health curriculum in preschools and middle schools in fostering thriving children and young adults.

In our sixth blog post, Dr. Stoker reminds us of how we can combine strategies learned from our parents with our own techniques to effectively parent our children. Rather than disregarding the methods of our own parents, we can instead strive to continue building on their best.

In our fifth blog post, Dr. Stoker offers pragmatic strategies through which we can demonstrate the concept of visible unity to our children as well as ways to support those suffering from hate crimes based on their ethnicity or race. This topic is more pertinent than ever as the cry to #StopAsianHate has risen throughout the world in the wake of the tragic Atlanta shooting.

In our fourth blog post, Dr. Denison reminds us of the importance of self-care during these turbulent times. In order to properly care for our children, we must first care for ourselves. While 2020 was an emotionally draining year, we can look forward to the future with a sense of optimism and renewed hope.

In our third blog post, Dr. Housson reminds us of the importance of meeting our children where they are, especially when it comes to sports. As Mr. Donavan emphasized in his episode, we should approach athletic training with perspective and care for the whole child rather than pushing them too intensely. In doing so, we prevent our children from caving under pressure.

In our second blog post, Dr. Andy Stoker reminds us that uncertainty is expected during this ongoing pandemic and that parents are truly just trying the best they can. Give yourself some grace and forgiveness, and remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

In our first blog post, Dr. Early Denison reminds us that parenting, like anything worth doing, will take everything you can give. And, despite what modern culture says, dads matter emotionally and practically to their kids.
