Episode 173: Teenagers and Religion - Church, Synagogue, Mosque or Temple
April 16, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBToday we revisit the issue of passing on your own religious priorities to your teenagers. Since the pandemic, attendance at religious services is down significantly among Americans of all faiths. Among Christians, a significant percentage believe that watching church online is equal to church attendance. This drop in regular church or synagogue participation brings a unique challenge to parents who want to influence the faith of their adolescent children. Additionally, we talk about whether p...

April 09, 2024 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBIt's been awhile since we talked about pornography and issues surrounding it. Jessica is also worried about anime. Are these two related? Should parents be worried about animated porn images as well as live action videos and images? What is hentai anyway? What is the impact of trying to "lock down" a teenager's access to porn vs. the impact of open communication? We take on these and other issues surrounding harmful, sexually related imagery.

March 19, 2024 21:42 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBAre men and women different in their sexual drives and needs? Popular culture seems insistent on portraying men and women's sexual interests as the same.

Episode 164: Parenting Teenagers In An Age Of Anxiety
February 13, 2024 11:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MBToday we review yet another news article about increased anxiety in teenagers. What is causing so much anxiety among our teens today? How should parents respond to teenagers who are anxious about the world they face today?

Episode 163: Mentalization - Is Your Teen Good At Knowing Other People?
February 06, 2024 11:00 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBDoes your teenager misread others? Are they able to read the motives and feelings of their peers? This is known as "mentalization."

Dr. Ken references David Brooks' book "How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and...

Episode 160: Teenagers and Masturbation
January 16, 2024 17:19 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBNOTE: Today's episode isn't suitable for young children (obviously). We know it's hard to talk about masturbation with your kids but it's so important that you do. How did we go from a culture that lied about near fatal consequences of masturbation to a culture that celebrates it as some sort of "self-care"? Today we take on the topic of how to address masturbation with your teenagers. When should you bring it up? Who should your son or daughter talk to? This episode isn't for kids to listen...
Episode 159: Make-Up, Hair, Nails and Teenagers
January 09, 2024 11:00 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBWhen should parents allow their kids to wear make-up? What if your daughter tells you that all her friends are wearing make-up?

December 19, 2023 11:05 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MBDid you talk to your parents the way your teen talks to you? Is that always a good thing? When does the priority of "you can be honest with your parents" become an excuse for teens to berate their parents? We hear from many parents struggling with their teenager's verbal tirades that leave them feeling exhausted and like they're failing as parents. How should parents handle this kind of verbal whipping from their teenagers? Is their a limit to the priority of being able to tell their parents ...

Episode 156: Grounding Teenagers
December 05, 2023 11:00 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBToday we talk about grounding your teenager. When should you ground them? What exactly does grounding include?

We want to hear from you! podcast@feed...
Episode 155: Holidays, Grief and Teenagers
November 14, 2023 11:00 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBEach year we focus on some aspect of the holidays with teens. This year we want to focus in on those who are dealing with grief, loss and even depression around this time of year.

Episode 150: The Parenting "Finish Line" Part 2
October 10, 2023 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBThis week we finish up our discussion from last week about dealing with adolescents after they finish high school. Many young adults live at home at least for some period of time after they have reached adulthood. What are the best ways to deal with conflicts that might arise? Are parents required to let their adult children stay in their home if they need it? What about uncomfortable questions about an adult kid who wants his boy/girlfriend to sleep over? A very relevant and down-to-earth di...
Episode 149: The Parenting "Finish Line" Part 1
October 03, 2023 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBIs there a time when parents are really done parenting? We get so many questions from parents who have invested so much in parenting their teens that they're not sure what to do after high school. While you'll always be their parent, their is a point where you should no longer push your help on your kids. Dr. Ken offers even more clarity on parents as a "benevolent bank." Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you! [email protected] Get the book here: https://www.amazon.c...
Episode 148: Teens Who Resist Sports and Activities
September 26, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.1 MBWe've gotten email questions about adolescents who resist involvement in any sport or activity. How can parents continue to implement planned emancipation if they have to sit a watch their teenager sit around and avoid getting involved with anything? What if your teen has been successful in a sport, music or something else but they suddenly decide they want to quit? Today Jessica and Dr. Ken talk about ways to offer freedom while still requiring involvement. Plus, we talk just a bit about the...
Episode 147: The Barbie Movie
September 19, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBDid you see the Barbie movie? Should you take a 12 year old girl to see it? You're not still limiting your 13 and older kids on what PG-13 movies they can see are you? Today Jessica and Dr. Ken discuss the implications of the summer blockbuster hit. Some movies are worth seeing and discussing with your daughters because they reflect current cultural issues well.

Episode 146: The Burden of Parenting - Part Two
September 12, 2023 10:00 - 15 minutes - 14.2 MBThis week we conclude our discussion of "parenting" as the term has come to imply some "inside track" of parental knowledge that can, supposedly, guarantee a happy and successful kid. Dr. Ken shares the truth that not only is this burden carried mostly by moms but actually by middle-class, white moms. At least that's what New York Times columnist Ylonda Gault Caviness says. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/03/opinion/sunday/what-black-moms-know.html Carrying too much of this parenting burden c...
Episode 145: The Burden of Parenting - Part One
September 05, 2023 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBWhere did we get this idea that there's some "inside track" of techniques parents should be implementing to raise amazing children? Is there any evidence that parental influence can guarantee some level of success in their children? Why do so many parents live in fear that they're failing with their kids? Why does this fear burden mothers so much more than fathers? Today we take on the topic we hear most from our listeners. How to share helpful information to parents without burdening them wi...
Episode 144: "You're Only Human" part 2 - Dr. Ken Interviews Dr. Kelly Kapic
June 06, 2023 10:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBToday we finish our great interview with Dr. Kelly Kapic, professor of theological studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. His book, "You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News" is a breath of fresh air for Christian parents who constantly struggle with their own limitations as parents. In this second part, Kelly talks about how personal limitations reflects the human need for support from others. Should we be careful about "co-dependenc...

May 30, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBMost all parents constantly feel guilty that they're not doing enough for their kids. For Christian parents, does our faith make any difference when we suffer like this? Theology professor Kelly Kapic's most recent book, "You're Only Human" takes on this constant guilt and self-judgment. He reminds us that human limitations are not the same as sin. As a college professor he has seen first hand how so many of our kids are taught to have those same demands on themselves. Kelly is the author of ...

May 23, 2023 17:30 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBWe continue paring down some of the vast amount of information and focus on the critical elements that are sometimes lost. Today Dr. Ken revives a discussion about entitlement and the damage this does to children of all ages. How can parents avoid overly entitled teenagers?

May 12, 2023 18:16 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBSummer's coming, Jessica and Ashley are swamped so Dr. Ken shares some of the essentials of "Feeding The Mouth" parenting. Today we revisit questions about phone limits, when your kid has been drinking, "dab" pens, driving and more.

Episode 140: "Why Are You Telling Me This?" Complications In Communicating With Teens
April 25, 2023 10:00 - 16 minutes - 15.6 MBHaving a relationship where your teenager shares everything with their parents is a good thing... right? Today we talk about complications in the idealistic expectation that parents want teenagers who tell them everything that is going on in their lives. Sometimes there's reason to actually ask a teenager, "... why are you telling me this?" After all, did you tell your parents everything you did when you were a teenager? Dr. Ken even admits a secret he never told his parents! Join us on Patr...
Episode 139: Trash Talk, Verbal Sparring and Teenagers
April 18, 2023 10:00 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBJessica and Ashley revive an axiom they learned in a Bible study, "our words should build, bless and benefit." How could any Christian parent disagree with these goals for our children? Well... Dr. Ken has some concerns! Today we consider the purpose of words that may seem critical. Verbal sparring can be an advanced form of "rough-housing" which, research indicates, can be helpful for children and teenagers. We also discuss the necessity of connection in shared humor and put-downs. How can p...
Episode 138: A Spring Checklist For Feeding The Mouth Parents
April 11, 2023 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBThis week we review a checklist of the stuff parents need to be doing this spring to move planned emancipation along.

Episode 137: How To Talk To Teens About School Shootings
April 04, 2023 10:00 - 15 minutes - 13.9 MBSchool shootings only add to parents' fears for their child's safety and well-being. These fears make it hard for parents to know how to or even if they should talk to their kids about these events. As you might guess, Dr. Ken suggests there are important differences in the way parents should talk to children vs adolescents. Is this the time to talk about gun-control or mental health laws? Is it bad to let teenagers see your own emotional reactions? What if my teenager is uncomfortable with p...
Episode 136: Parents Who Can't Stop Checking, Nagging Or Reminding Their Teens
March 28, 2023 10:00 - 14 minutes - 12.9 MBOnce a parent has given over an area of freedom to their teenager, they must NOT continue to check and remind their kid about it. Letting the natural consequences of your teen's choices fall on them is necessary to teens developing responsibility in managing more and more areas of their lives. On the other hand, parents shouldn't be saddled with constantly "biting their tongue" while watching them make poor choices. Today we discuss this difficult balance between leaving teens to make their o...
Episode 135: Teens, Femininity And Feminism
March 22, 2023 22:30 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBIn a world that insists that there are no real differences between men and women, how can parents help their daughters navigate this confusion?

March 14, 2023 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBWhat is "toxic masculinity?" How can parents encourage healthy masculinity? Today we take on a somewhat provocative topic for today. What is a healthy way to encourage real "male-ness" in a culture that is denying any "real" masculine and feminine traits in our children? What can moms do to encourage healthy masculinity in their sons? What is the role of fathers in this struggle?

Episode 133: Teens And Life Purpose
March 07, 2023 11:00 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBAdolescents who feel a sense of purpose in life report overall higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. What are parents to do with such information? Particularly, how does this relate to Christian parents?

Episode 130: Teenagers and siblings
February 17, 2023 17:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBWe've already talked about sibling rivalry (see episode 24) but today we talk about teenagers' relationships with siblings in general. How can parents cultivate good relationships between their children? What are ways that parents inadvertently discourage mature relationships between siblings? And, as always, what are some particular aspects of the adolescent phase of development that make this hard? Are there aspects of adolescence that parents can use to their advantage in helping sibling r...
Episode 129: Help! It's Not Working!
February 07, 2023 11:00 - 16 minutes - 15.5 MBWhat do you do when you implement Planned Emancipation but things don't seem to be getting any better? It's not uncommon that we hear from parents who feel that Feeding The Mouth parenting isn't making the kind of difference they were expecting. To address this, Dr. Ken clarifies what kind of expectations are realistic for Feeding The Mouth parenting. Also, we focus on the intangibles that can cause teenagers to still feel over-controlled even though parents are trying to give freedoms. So, t...
Episode 128: "Good Enough" Parenting
January 31, 2023 11:00 - 18 minutes - 16.6 MBIn the 1950s, British pediatrician and psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott introduced the concept of "good enough" parenting and Dr. Ken thinks it's time we brought it back! Parents worry so much about doing parenting "right" and put a lot of pressure on themselves. Even worse, there's this idea that maybe there's some book that you haven't read that tells you how to raise your kids "the right way." Dr. Ken doesn't believe that "perfect parenting" book exists and "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You"...
Episode 127: Teenagers And Sleepovers
January 24, 2023 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBToday we take on the sometimes scary topic of sleepovers with teenagers. Strangely, many parents are less concerned about sleepovers when their kids are younger only to "shut it down" when they become teenagers. What kind of boundaries are reasonable for teenagers wanting to spend the night with friends? Although it's becoming more common, is it ever ok to allow boys and girls to spend the night? What do you do when you know that your teen or their friend has declared themselves to be gay or...
Episode 126: Culture And Feeding The Mouth That Bites You
