Last week, Katherine Reynolds Lewis, the author of The Good News About Bad Behavior: Why Kids Are Less Disciplined Than Ever-- And What to Do About It, taught us that children today are fundamentally different than past generations. Not because they're born different, but because the world they are growing up in is so different. In previous generations, typical kids developed self-regulation skills through their day-to-day life of playing with friends, being outside, and working alongside their families. But modern cultural factors including less unstructured play and time outdoors, more exposure to media and technology, and more pressure from academic and extra curricular expectations are undermining the natural development of impulse control, self confidence and patience within our kids. Katherine Reynolds Lewis spent over five years researching parenting and discipline techniques, and she found that there are many effective discipline methods in practice today that teach children how to take ownership of their choices and their emotions and gain the emotional skills they need to self regulate. These transformative discipline methods all share some common elements (that all happen to start with "C"): * Connection: Relationship is the foundation. If we try to discipline our kids before we have that connection, it’s not going to go well. * Communication: Asking questions, posing “what ifs” and getting more information helps children to process and build their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills * Capability-building: We must focus on helping children build both life skills around the house and social and emotional skills.

 083: Are Kids Today Harder Than They Were In The Past? // Katherine Reynolds Lewis | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:01

There's no question that parenting has been difficult for every generation-- but has it always been this difficult? I'll admit, my dreams of parenthood were idealized in many ways, but I often wonder if the day will ever come that my children actually stay in their seats at dinner long enough for good conversation and connection. I wonder if their big emotions and high energy will continue to affect our everyday lives, or if we will be able to have memorable outings that don't require quite so much emotional energy with managing expectations and refereeing. Katherine Reynolds Lewis,  an award-winning journalist and certified parent educator, had the same questions as she raised her own strong-willed children. The more she looked around at other parents and children, the more she realized that she wasn't alone--kids today just seemed to be harder, even though parents devote more time and energy to their children than in any other generation. This seeming epidemic of strong-willed kids with difficult behavior is the reason that she embarked on writing her book, The Good News About Bad Behavior-- Why Kids Are Less Disciplined Than Ever and What to Do About It. After years of incredibly detailed research, Katherine found there are three overarching reasons why  kids today have less ability to regulate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors: * The decline in unstructured play and outdoor time. * The growth of media and technology . * The increased focus on achievement and performance, instead of character and contribution. In this episode, Katherine unpacks each of these areas and gives suggestions for what we as modern parents can do about it.

 076: You Have Permission to Pause | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:56

A month or so ago, I woke up early, before the rest of the house, and lay in the darkness with my heart pounding uncomfortably. It was a physical reminder of something that I don't like to think about very often: I have chronic health problems that aren't just magically going to disappear if I ignore them. It is up to ME to change my life and my habits to regain my health. No one else is going to do that for me. In this episode, I share a bit more of my story, as well as the three steps I am taking in order to give myself a month-long pause: 1) Choose a finite length of time for your break. 2) Look at your calendar and ruthlessly eliminate or postpone any stressful commitments during that time.   Don't be afraid to tell the people in your life WHY you need a break and how they can support you. 3) Decide how you will use your time off to "get ahead" of your life and make changes that will help you reenter your life  in a much better place.
