 FCV041 The Empathy Way, Anne Paris | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:18:21

There are times when it is very difficult to empathize with another person. Those times include feeling frustrated with our children. But difficult as those situations may be for parents, clinical psychologist Anne Paris suggests we would do well to "step back, take a break, ask someone else to intervene..." because that's the best way to get our emotions under control so that we can, afterwards, model an empathetic response. That's how we teach our kids to do the same. Annie talks with Anne about the empathy response and about The Empathy Way, Dr. Paris' delightful new series of children's books which features the remarkable wildlife photography of Marian Brickner. About Anne Paris (@ImmerseWithAnne) Anne Paris, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and author in private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has practiced psychotherapy for over 25 years, and has specialized in working with artists, trauma victims, couples, and parents. In addition, Dr. Paris co-founded the Cincinnati Center for Self Psychology, a training/educational institute for mental health professionals in the theory and practice of Self Psychology Theory. Her children book series, The Empathy Way, (produced in collaboration with animal behavior photographer Marian Brickner) helps children understand that empathy is the key to forming healthy relationships and resolving problems like bullying.

 FCV040 What's the Story with School Bullying?, J Richard Knapp | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:20:27

Why is school bullying such a persistent problem? After all, we've had many high-profile cases in which students' unrelentingly mean-spiritied behavior toward other students has caused targeted kids to commit suicide in desperation. We've had national summits on bullying prevention and endless conversation on local levels. And yet, according to current statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and US Department of Education, the problem is as bad, if not worse, than ever. Annie talks to anti-bullying activist, J Richard Knapp about the impact of bullying on students and schools and what parents and educators can do to prevent problems rather than simply reacting to them after the fact. About J Richard Knapp (@JRichardKnapp) J Richard Knapp is a seasoned educator, author of books for kids and young adults, and CEO and Founder of Stop-Bullies.com. His career has spanned nearly four decades as an elementary teacher, principal, university adjunct graduate school instructor, state and national leader in education, and trailblazer in bully prevention. J Richard worked on Oregon's State Bullying Prevention law. His presentations provide bullying prevention strategies based on common sense approaches and research.

 FCV036: Don't Yell at Me — Guest: Sharon Silver | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 00:14:19

When kids act up it's hard for parents not to get their buttons pushed and, well... yell at their children. This is especially true when the behavior on display has been the topic of "conversation" on at least ten prior occasions. We should save our breath (and our blood pressure) advises Sharon Silver, parenting coach and author of "Stop Reacting and Start Responding." "Yelling creates the illusion that you're actually stopping misbehavior," she says. "It isn't doing what you think it's doing." In this episode, Annie and Sharon discuss healthy and more effective alternatives to yelling. About Sharon Silver Sharon Silver is the creator of the Proactive Parenting Approach and the author of "Stop Reacting and Start Responding: 108 Ways to Discipline Consciously and Become the Parent You Want to Be." She is a mom, parent educator, coach, author, speaker and blogger who has appeared as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Sharon has also been a radio and TV host and shared her humanistic approach to parenting on national radio, as well as in newspaper, and online interviews including Parenting Magazine, CNN and CNN Health.
