Season 3 Episode 82 Bonus Rewind: The Delicate Balance of Parenting Adult Daughters

Season 3 · Episode 82

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 56:26

Send us a text

Another listener favorite! Today we discuss the sometimes difficult, yet rewarding relationships between mothers and daughters. We speak with Pam Tronson, parenting coach with a special certification in mother/daughter relationships.

The connection between a mother and daughter is one of the strongest and most important family relationships. Accepting that it can be difficult and messy is key to being able to navigate the highs and lows. Bound by love we are often disappointed when our adult relationships with our daughters don’t meet the dream we had for that relationship.

Pam offers solutions to help us let go of control and worry and avoid resentment. She discusses how the shame we feel, and the perceived “failed” relationship can get in the way of the repair that is needed.

Resolution only requires one person to change the trajectory of the relationship. And showing one another that they are worth the effort is impactful.

Beyond the personal stories and emotional shifts, Pam also discusses broader societal influences that affect motherhood. She addresses issues like parental anxiety, control, entitlement, and the normalization of worry. Highlighting the necessity of empathy and understanding different perspectives, Pam teaches us how redefining love and setting healthy boundaries can break the cycle of negative self-narratives. This episode is a treasure trove of heartfelt guidance, practical advice, and emotional support for anyone looking to navigate the complex, yet beautiful, bond between mothers and daughters.

Learning to practice self-care and to love yourself is the key to setting the necessary boundaries to build better, more meaningful relationships with our daughters.

It's always a good idea to listen again!

Season 3 Episode 73: Fostering Resilience in Ourselves and Our Adult Children

Season 3 · Episode 73

Friday, April 19, 2024 • Duration 51:02

Send us a text

This episode dives deep into resilience. We talk to a resilience expert and parenting coach about how to build resilience - in ourselves and our adult children.

Why do we sometimes look at the bad and forget to remember and be grateful for the positive? Our guests explain that neuroscience tells us that we are programmed to look at the negative and much more difficult to remind ourselves of the positives.

We discuss the process that involves building our resilience muscles, such as positivity, confidence, and creativity. Our guests are Linda Hoopes, founder of the Resilience Alliance , a licensed psychologist whose professional work focuses on resilience. Joining Linda is Kris Burbank, a parenting coach for all stages of life to enhance their skills as professionals, parents, and partners. Together they co-authored the book, Embracing Another Normal: Resilience Stories and Strategies for Raising Children with Disabilities.

Though originally targeted for parents of families with children with disabilities, the book has grabbed the attention of all parents struggling to find their strength in parenting as their children move through life into young adulthood.

Their book begins with this quote from Winnie the Pooh to Christopher Robin:
“Promise me you’ll always remember. That you’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem. And smarter than you know.”

Maybe you've recently read these headlines in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal.

"Well Into Adulthood and Still Getting Money From Their Parents. Nearly 60% of parents provide financial help to their adult kids, a new study finds." WSJ
"Parents Are Highly Involved in Their Adult Children’s Lives, and Fine With ItNew surveys show that today’s intensive parenting has benefits, not just risks, and most young adults seem happy with it, too." (NYT)

What you didn't know is that these articles just covered a small bit of the extensive 2024 Pew Research study titled Parents, Young Adult Children and the Transition to Adulthood. The Pew Research Center is a non-partisan "fact tank" that helps inform the public about issues, attitudes and trends shaping our world.

Today, we go behind the scenes to chat with one of the lead researchers on the study, Rachel Milken, and uncover what those big headlines really mean.

We sort through the data helping listeners understand the stats and what the study really explores.

Tune in to learn more about key milestones for young adults today vs. 30 years ago, financial help and independence in young adulthood, how parents really think their kids are doing, relationships, advice and even living together (you will be surprised that it works for many families.

Season 3 Episode 71 Navigating Sibling Relationships: A Deep Dive into Family Dynamics

Season 3 · Episode 71

Friday, March 22, 2024 • Duration 42:21

Send us a text

Do you have a favorite child? Maybe you think you don't but there are things you do or say that show something different.

Today we delve into the much overlooked topic of sibling relationships. We speak with Fern Schumer Chapman author o the book Brothers, Sisters, Strangers. Siblings are the longest relationship we will have in our lives - and our children's. They share our history our family and our story. Chapman shares her personal life story that led her to write this book.

We talk about sibling rejection and how that can lead to feelings of self-blame, questioning one's worth, and a sense of loss. Individuals may constantly ruminate on what went wrong and how they can mend the relationship, leading to a significant emotional toll. This ongoing emotional pain can be likened to a persistent toothache or a wound that refuses to heal.

Chapman shares risk factors that may cause sibling rifts and what our role as parents we play. By acknowledging these risk factors and perilous turning points, research provides valuable insights into the complexities of sibling relationships. Understanding these factors can help individuals navigate and potentially reconcile with estranged siblings.

We also identify when it is safer for siblings to separate and why.

There is no question that sibling relationships serve as a blueprint for future relationships with friends, colleagues, and romantic partners. The qualities of tolerance, generosity, and loyalty instilled by siblings can influence how individuals navigate social interactions throughout their lives. This episode helps us understand it all.

Season 3 Episode 70 The Secret to Breaking the Conflict Cycle

Season 3 · Episode 70

Friday, March 8, 2024 • Duration 39:47

Send us a text

For today's episode we brought back Tony and Alisa DiLorenzo to discuss their new book "The Secret to Breaking the Conflict Cycle in Your Marriage," and to share their wisdom on maintaining strong connections in all our relationships - and that means with our adult kids too!

We talk about the need to actively engage in conflict resolution rather than avoiding or ignoring issues. (which most of us do!)

By being intentional, individuals can identify the root causes of conflicts, understand their own triggers and reactions, and work towards constructive solutions.

Intentionality involves setting clear goals for improving communication, understanding, and connection within relationships. It requires a commitment to addressing issues head-on and seeking resolution rather than letting conflicts fester.
Some of the key points include:

Being intentional and taking action
Words have power
Knowing yourself; addressing your own weaknesses
Understand your conflict cycle

This one's all about strengthening relationships with your spouse and your adult child. Tune in for some valuable insights and tips! #RelationshipsMatter

Remember, it's never too late to work on your relationship and create a positive impact on your family and future generations.

Today we speak with the legendary Charles Fay, Ph.D. who, with his father Jim Fay and Dr. Foster W. Cline founded Love and Logic. For many years parents have turned to Love and Logic for guidance for their young children. It is a trusted research-driven, whole child approach to child-rearing.

We talk about their new book coming out in March 2024 that includes a chapter on young Adults. The book is titled, “Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to Combine the Power of Neuroscience with Love and Logic and Grow Confident, Kind, Responsible, and Resilient Children and Young Adults”, written by neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Charles Fay.

Dr. Fay explains:

How the successful techniques used with our toddlers and teens can now apply to our adult children.
He outlines the five Steps of Empathy and how this helps free young adults to make their decisions -- but also live with the consequences.
How giving up our own control puts the power into our adult children’s hands
What is the risk of setting them free?
How can we set our own boundaries when needed and why it is important?
By removing the chaos we create deposits into a healthier parent-adult relationship.

Two important takeaways:

“We can never consistently work harder on someone else’s life than they are”
“The more words I use, the more ineffective I become”.
