608: How Do I Get My Kid to Agree to a Family Tech Plan? (Part 7 of 9)

608: How Do I Get My Kid to Agree to a Family Tech Plan? (Part 7 of 9)

What do you do when your kid refuses to see things through the same lens as you? They come up with all sorts of crazy ideas and reasons to try and get their way because the bottom line is usually this: they don’t want rules and limits regarding their internet use and they know themselves just how addicted they are to their phones so anyone who tells them to get off them is a threat to their very existence. Their phones are their lifelines so how do we get our kids to drink our tech plan Kool-Aid? Curious? Tune in…

607: The Ins & Outs of Mobile Data + Cell Phone Contracts in Creating a Heathy Tech Diet (Part 6 of 9)

“Controlling” our kid’s media diets through limiting their mobile data is fast becoming a thing of the past. So how on earth do we hope to do it when so many of the plans are all inclusive and unlimited? I’m going to be 100% honest here and say that it’s hard and the older your kids are, the harder it’s going to be. Period. There are, however, ways to do it and in today’s episode, I discuss them all.

606: The Art of Negotiating in Planning & Devising A Tech Plan for Your Child (Part 5 of 9)

606: The Art of Negotiating in Planning & Devising A Tech Plan for Your Child (Part 5 of 9)

Are you a good negotiator? Have you actually ever thought about it related to parenting? The bottom line is this: being really good at negotiating is an extremely useful skill to have in your parenting toolbox. In this episode, I discuss this, the importance of negotiating, scheduling and accounting for your child’s time in relation to how many potential hours there actually are for being online. And the rules. Yes, there have to be rules! I think that these three steps are genius and oh so helpful for parents. Curious? You should be, so tune in to part 5 in my podcast bookclub series on the book, The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall.…

605: How Do I Get My Child Off Their Device and Avoid The Fight? (Part 4 of 9)

There are many things you can do to “control” your child’s media diet and in the next three episodes I’m going to give you the 7 magical steps that Brad Marshall recommends parents put into place. Do not oversee the first three episodes in this series in order to get to the solution, you need it all. Balance is definitely key and knowing which aspect of your child’s development is being compromised as a result of screens is paramount.  And remember, please do listen this entire series before coming up with any hard plan. The author strongly advises that you take them ALL in and then put together a plan that works for you, making sure you address all 7 steps. Curious, tune in…

604: When Should I Panic? What Is Too Much Screen Time? How Will I Know? (Part 3 of 9)

604: When Should I Panic? What Is Too Much Screen Time? How Will I Know? (Part 3 of 9)

Welcome to my podcast book club series on the book The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall.

How many hours are too many? How will I know what the signs are? These are tough questions to answer and when all is said and done, some parents panic too soon whilst others don’t panic soon enough. In this chapter (5), the author discusses 5 key developmental milestones that kids simply must meet. When one or two of these 5 domains get compromised, the result is not good, and it snowballs quickly. In my opinion, this chapter is gold for parents, and I hope you get as much out of it as I did. Curious? You should be so tune in…

603: Does Your Child Spent Too Much Time Immersed in Social Media + Video Games? (Part 2 of 9)

603: Does Your Child Spent Too Much Time Immersed in Social Media + Video Games? (Part 2 of 9)

For this generation, social media is HUGE and I feel it has got to the point where they can’t live without it but at the same time, are struggling to live with it. It hooks them in and creates anxiety for them when they are in it, chasing perfection and constantly comparing themselves to others. And at the same time, they are anxious when they are off it for the fear it creates of missing out. FOMO is rampant. So how do we manage it? We have to understand it. And then there’s the video games and everything that comes with that, including gambling. Having read The Tech Diet, I confess to being ignorant regarding online gambling and the amount of it. It’s not to be sniffed at and be blissfully unaware of. You must know about this stuff if you want to be able to help your kids navigate it. Curious? Tune in as I discuss chapters 3 and 4 in the book: The Psyche Science of Social Media and Is your Child Gambling Online?

602: Generation NOW, Generation Smartphone. How Did We Get Here? (Part 1 of 9)

602: Generation NOW, Generation Smartphone. How Did We Get Here? (Part 1 of 9)

When I asked my son to describe his generation, he came up with “Generation NOW” which I found fascinating. He went on to say “mum, we can’t wait for anything because we are so used to getting everything NOW!”. I actually think it’s such an appropriate description. Generation Smartphone is also a great name because it says it all and the speed at which smartphones have totally changed how we live is scary.

Welcome to Part 1 in my new podcast book club series on the book The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall. Over the next couple of months, I will be going through each chapter of this book highlighting all you need to know in order to come up with a media plan that is actually implementable, practical and works.

In today's episode, we discuss smartphones, the research and the science. Do you understand how dopamine works? It certainly helps, so tune in…

601: The Single Most Valuable Skill Your Kids Need Today… Pay ATTENTION to This!

In this digital age, there is one thing that has fast become the scarcest commodity… and it begins with A. Being able to manage this is, without a shadow of doubt, one of the most important skills kids today must develop. And because of this, we have lost our capacity to tolerate solitude. The knock-on effects of it are far-reaching and not good. I hope I have piqued your interest and that you will tune in and find out. Trust me, you will not regret becoming aware of this. Tune in…

In the episode today, I mentioned the next podcast book club series I will be starting next week: The Tech Diet for your Child & Teen – The 7-step plan to unplug & reclaim your kid’s childhood (and your family’s sanity) by Brad Marshall, The Unplugged Psychologist.

589: The "Will + Chris" Oscar Performance & Lessons For Our Kids

589: The "Will + Chris" Oscar Performance & Lessons For Our Kids

I felt called to record this episode today off the back of THE Oscar performance last Sunday night. What an unfortunate chain of events... However, more disturbing to me is the outpour of criticism, shame, judgment and righteousness off the back of it. Where is compassion and empathy in all of this and what is this "reaction" to it all teaching our kids? Whether either of their behaviours were right or wrong, the backlash is, in my books, even worse. Are we all so perfect that we never get triggered and say or do something we, with hindsight, wish we hadn't? And seriously, is taking away his Oscar going to make it all better? I discuss all of this and how we can help our kids not dial into this human drama and instead turn to curiosity, compassion and empathy. We have to role model this and lead the way and right now, I don't think that, collectively, enough of us are doing this. Do tune in...

578: Parenting Challenges Do Not Just Miraculously Disappear…

578: Parenting Challenges Do Not Just Miraculously Disappear…

Hope as you may, the sad reality is this: parenting problems do not usually just disappear on their own accord. It’s a roller coaster of a ride and yes, there are the ups, which are amazing, but there are also the downs, which are usually not so amazing. And inevitably, the downs last longer and tend to keep us mired in the thick of it, chained to the overwhelm, frustration and feelings of low energy and dis-ease. Today on the show I discuss this and what you can do to get out of it, change the way you show up and eradicate some of the challenges you are facing, and discuss how you might feel when you do so. Do you want to feel better, and experience more joy, grace, ease, flow, and fun? Sound too good to be true? Tune in and find out…

568: Do You Judge Yourself Based on Your Child’s Behavior?

568: Do You Judge Yourself Based on Your Child’s Behavior?

Ooohh how I love the subject of judgment: What it is? Why we do it and the root of it? Does any good come from judgment? Probably not. What I do know is this: we are crazy to judge ourselves based on someone else’s behaviour, especially a child’s or worse a teenager’s because at the end of the day we can’t control it!! Isn’t it crazy to think that we do this? Good lord, we find it difficult enough to control our own behavior never mind judge ourselves on someone else’s. Hopefully, your intrigue is piqued… do tune in…

567: Accepting What Is Means Letting Go of What Isn’t – The Trees Can Do It, So Why Can’t We?

567: Accepting What Is Means Letting Go of What Isn’t – The Trees Can Do It, So Why Can’t We?

At this time of the year, I love looking at the deciduous trees changing the colour of their leaves and contemplating letting go of them. They inherently know how and when to do this, and we can really learn from them. How do you let go of things or thoughts? Have you ever really thought about it? One thing I know is this: you can’t let go of something that you resist, and it is only through accepting what is that you might be able to start to “let go”. Curious? Tune in…
