| 295: Be Proud of Your Kids For YOUR Mental Health | 19 Dec 2024 | 00:30:33 | |
Be Proud of Your Kids For YOUR Mental Health Parenting is stressful, and it gets even more stressful if you don't step back once in a while and see the big picture. What I mean is it's difficult to see your kid's progress and growth when we have a front-row, daily seat to their life. In this episode, I challenge parents to find something for which they can be proud of their kids. What has your child done? How have they learned or grown? I also talk about my own 4 children and why I am proud of each one. I hope you can find a little bit of your own child in my examples and relate to my "real mom" moments of honesty.

How does birth order matter in your family? We already know that research shows how birth order affects children's personalities, but this episode doesn't discuss that. Instead, I ask, "How did birth order affect YOUR upbringing?" In this episode, I examine how birth order affects our relationships with our siblings, our parents, and our upbringing. I discuss my own experiences growing up as an only child with a brother 10 years my senior. Lastly, I discuss my views of parents' responsibility to foster connections between siblings. Join me as I get personal and learn more about myself and some of my parenting insights through my life experiences.

| 307: Ai Companions and the Future of Parenting | 24 Apr 2025 | 00:23:02 | |
Ai Companions and the Future of Parenting
I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video by @nate.b.jones where he described a future where everyone had A.I. companions as the norm. Of course you need to check out his video, but it got me thinking.... What if we do have AI companions in the future? We aren't that far from that now. Teens use their phones for companionship more than ever before. What will this mean for my grandkids? What does this mean for my own children when they have to parent with A.I.? Join me as I explore the idea of parenting in the future with Artificial Intelligence at the forefront. The good, the bad, and the scary!

Bottom Line... I am here for YOU! Contact me at theimpactfulparent@gmail.com ------ Episode Transcript: How Can I Teach My Child That Not Everyone Is Going To Like Them? Welcome impactful parents! Today we have a great question submitted by a follower and parent like you that reads, “my child gets really upset when they think someone doesn’t like them at school. It causes so much drama in our house. How do I teach my child that not everyone will like them no matter what they do?” This is a great question and not an easy situation. I am really glad this parent DMed me and if you have a question that you’d like some help with- you can DM me too. All submission are kept anonymous. It is important to support our children in learning the “Not everyone will like you” lesson as early as possible. They need to develop the coping skills they need to continue feeling good about THEMSELVES and not rely so much on external validation. If they continue to wallow in the sadness of “that person doesn’t like me,” then it could affect their mental health, and your child can start to develop a habit of thinking like a victim. We don’t want them. We want our kids to be confident and empowered. So what should parents do to help turn this victim mentality into empowerment? Today I am going to give you 5 suggestions. Let’s get started. First, you want to validate your child’s feelings. I know you might want to say, “Don’t worry about it. That person isn’t worth your time, and who cares if they like you!” But that does NOTHING for your child. Instead, let your child be heard. Tell them that it’s ok to feel sad that they think someone doesn’t like them. Validate that it doesn’t feel good. And then LISTEN. Don’t try and fix anything. Just listen. Don’t give advice. Just listen. Giving your child the stage to talk and let out their feelings BEFORE you start making suggestions is a priority. Step 2 is talking about the reasons WHY someone might not like them. Remind your child that it may not even be their fault or anything that they can control. There are infinite reasons why someone might not like you, but here are a few of the most common reasons.
Go through this list with your child and examine with them, Could This Be Why? Step 3 is to start asking questions about how YOUR CHILD's behaviors might have made the other person feel. As much as we would like to believe that our kids are angels, there are circumstances when our children provoke the situation. Start a conversation about how their behaviors might have a domino effect on others. Were they bragging too much? Were they leaving someone out on accident? Were they talking about things that made others uncomfortable? The main point here is that your child needs to realize that their actions have reactions. Talk about how they might have contributed to the situation. Step 4 is to encourage your child to have a self-positive talk in their head. Even if they don’t believe themselves at first, encourage your child to give themselves a pep talk throughout the day. For example, have them think, “I am ok. I don’t need everyone to like me.” “I can’t please everybody, and that’s ok. I can only be my best self.” And lastly, encourage your child to spend time with people who do like them. Extra time with friends that will lift your child’s spirits and make them gain confidence is easy for parents to allow and encourage. | |||

Transcript for podcast: What is inside that Vape Pen? Is this nicotine, or is this marijuana? Many parents don't know. You're not alone. They look the same. They smell similar. As if having a teenager wasn't stressful enough, gone are the days when parents used to primarily worry about their teen drinking and smoking cigarettes. Now, there are more concerns. Vaping and marijuana use are very popular, and if you are thinking, "Not my kid," you need to pull your head out of the sand. Hello, my name is Kristina Campos. I am the founder of the Impactful Parent. Every week I give you parenting videos that can help you in your parenting journey. If you have a particular topic or parenting question about your school-aged child that you would like me to address, please submit it at theimpactfulparent@gmail.com or by messaging me on social media. All submissions are kept anonymous. Today, I will talk to you about vaping and marijuana. I will explain why YOU need to get educated on this subject, how you can tell if your child is partaking in these substances and stick around to the end because I will also give you tips for preventing and stopping your teenager from using them. Let's get started! Vaping is nicotine consumption. Marijuana is a drug. Why am I grouping these two substances together if they are two completely different things? For 2 reasons. The first is that both substances are extremely popular among our young people. Second, from the outside, they look the same. The smoking cartridges of nicotine and marijuana appear the same from the outside, so if you find one of these devices in your house, you won't know what's inside unless you smoke it yourself or have enough knowledge to open up the cartridge and understand the differences. Here are some of the most common types of vape pens you might find. One of the most common questions I get from parents is, "Why is my child doing this?" Aside from peer pressure, there is a popular misconception among young people that these substances will not hurt them. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Kids also love vape pens (whether nicotine or marijuana inside) because when you smoke them, they taste sweet and smell nice. Additives are put inside the smoking devices resulting in a more pleasurable experience. Marijuana and cigarettes don't smell stinky anymore. Now they smell and taste like bubble gum, grape, and various flavors. Children think, how can anything so nice be harmful? Couple this with the tobacco industry spending billions and billions of dollars annually to market their products to your child. It is no surprise that kids love vaporizing pens. But let's get out of la-la land and into reality. You don't want your child consuming nicotine or marijuana, especially today, because these are not the same "cigarettes and weed" of our day. They are much more potent, and that means much more dangerous. So, if you're a parent thinking, "I know it's bad, but we all did it when we were younger. I smoked cigarettes, and I smoked a bowl here and there when I was young, and I turned out ok." You need to understand that the substances of today are not like what you were smoking when you were a kid. One cartridge of nicotine in a vape pen is equivalent to 13-30 traditional cigarettes. That means that vaping nicotine is much more addictive. Marijuana has also evolved into a potent drug. Sure, kids can still smoke the flower, but now there are so many other options. Marijuana edibles can easily be overdosed and make you sick because their effects don't hit you immediately. This means, many kids take one. When they don't feel anything after an hour, they take another. Before you know it, they are so high they can't walk and throw up. Or another way to consume marijuana is through concentrates. Concentrates are found in vape pens and in a smoking method called dabbing. Concentrates have an extreme amount of THC content. For example, a top-shelf flower that you may have smoked from a bowl, bong, or pipe has about 20% THC. Dabbing and vape pens have 40-80% THC concentrations. This means you can get much higher in one hit and also get the negative effects of the drug more easily. The next common question I get from parents is, "How can I tell if my teen is using these substances?" Aside from finding the physical evidence of vape pens, pipes and lighters, I tell parents that they need to know their children well and notice behaviors when they start to change. Unfortunately, the most common signs of drug use are signs of normal teenage behavior, but drug use signals are amplified. Most teens will go through a phase of mood swings, agitation, and impulsivity, but drug use will make these warning signs more apparent. Don't dismiss these behaviors as "normal" unless they are subtle, few, and far between. I suggest airing on the side of caution, not dismissal. This is why a good relationship with your adolescent is critical to catch early warning signs. You need to know your teen well and be on the alert. In addition, you can be aware of changes in your child's behaviors such as carelessness with grooming, changes in grades, skipping school, losing interest in favorite activities, and changes in eating and sleeping habits. Look out for relationship problems with family and friends also. Suppose your child has recently smoked marijuana and is trying to come down from their high when you see them. In that case, you may be able to spot their bloodshot eyes and have a smell of sweet fragrance on their clothes. Your child may appear dizzy or uncoordinated. They may seem silly and giggly for no reason and have difficulty remembering things that just happened. Many kids who try to cover up vaping nicotine or marijuana use incense and other deodorizers to mask the smell of their vape pen. They could also be buying eye drops for their backpack and medicine cabinet. Look out for these items and start taking notice. One easy sign many parents miss is the child wearing graphic tees promoting drugs. Lastly, let's talk about prevention. It isn't easy, but it is the most important thing you can do. Here are 5 steps parents can take to prevent their child from vaping marijuana or nicotine.
Many teenagers will experiment and do what they are going to do. Still, suppose you can arm them with the right information and the ability to make a better choice more easily. In that case, you are increasing their chances for success.

| 270: Single Dads Are Better Parents. What?!?! | 27 Jun 2024 | 00:40:13 | |
Single Dads Are Better Parents. What?!?! Single Dads Parent Better. What?! I was shocked when I read the research too, but it is true that single dads statistically have children with better school grades, less criminal records, and better mental health than their single mom counterparts. BUT WHY? In this episode of The Impactful Parent, Rodrigo and I dive into these stats and give two cents on why these statistics are true and misleading at the same time. This was a fun and interesting episode, and I hope you enjoy it too!
