  • # 382 Riding Out Teenage Emotions
    2026/07/20
    Have you ever looked at your teen's angry outburst and wondered, "What's really going on underneath?" When our teens slam doors, snap at us, or seem completely irrational, it's easy to react to the behavior we see. But what if those explosive moments are actually covering fear, anxiety, embarrassment, or overwhelm? In this episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Lori Kaufman shares how parents can stop taking their teen's emotions personally, regulate their own reactions, and use emotional moments as opportunities for deeper connection instead of conflict. Guest Bio Dr. Laurie Kaufman is a licensed clinical psychologist, certified high school teacher, and certified mindfulness educator with nearly 30 years of experience working with teenagers, parents, and families. She is the founder of Ebb and Flow Mental Health, where she provides therapy and leads parenting groups based on the internationally recognized Tuning In to Teens program. Dr. Kaufman also serves as a part-time faculty member in the University of Rhode Island's psychology department. Drawing from both her professional expertise and her experience parenting four teenagers, she helps families navigate big emotions with kindness, curiosity, and practical tools. Three Takeaways 1. Every Behavior Has an Emotion Underneath Teens' behaviors often don't make sense until parents understand the emotions driving them. Anger is frequently a mask for anxiety, fear, embarrassment, loneliness, or disappointment. Instead of reacting to the behavior alone, parents can become curious about what lies beneath the surface. 2. Regulate Yourself Before You Parent When emotions escalate, the most important job isn't fixing your teen—it's calming yourself first. Taking a pause, breathing, or stepping away briefly allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. A regulated parent teaches emotional regulation simply by modeling it. 3. Trade Control for Connection As teens grow, parents shift from being managers to becoming trusted consultants. By asking authentic questions, listening with empathy, and maintaining firm but warm boundaries, parents build influence instead of relying on control. The strongest parent-teen relationships combine high expectations with high support. Learn more at: https://www.ebbandflowmentalhealth.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • #381 Are Your Teens Ready for College?
    2026/07/13
    One of the biggest challenges your teen will face when they enter college is self-management. Managing what they eat, managing alcohol , managing stress, managing sleep , managing relationships, exercise and their time. Self- management is everything for the college student without it they don't have their health and they definitely won't make the grade. Jill and Dave Henry met coaching high school sports in Los Angeles and have been working with teens for nearly fifteen years. With every graduating class, they’ve fielded their student-athletes’ concerns about the transition to college. Determined to help, the Henrys decided to leverage their combined professional skills in research, study design, data analysis, and storytelling (Jill is a veteran statistics teacher, Dave is a Peabody-award winning TV and film editor) to create a fun yet informative resource with the goal of preparing all students to enjoy college without sacrificing their health. Their just released book The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed---How to Manage Food, Booze, Stress, Sex, Sleep, and Exercise on Campus was published in June 2021. This interview is filled with great research, interesting stories, and practical information including how to get your teen to read this book.

  • # 380 Drive Safely
    2026/07/06
    Is your teen really ready to drive—or are you handing them the keys before they've earned the responsibility? "Driving isn't a right—it's a privilege that has to be earned." Driving is one of the biggest milestones in a teenager's life—and one of the most dangerous. In this episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with personal injury attorney Brett Jarvis about how parents can prepare teens to become safe, responsible drivers. Brett shares practical advice from both his courtroom experience and his role as a father of three, covering everything from when to begin conversations about driving to family contracts, tracking devices, liability, distracted driving, and what parents should do if an accident happens. This conversation reminds moms that teaching safe driving isn't about controlling teens—it's about protecting lives while preparing them for adulthood. 3 Key Takeaways 1. Driving is a privilege that must be earned—not a right. Parents should look beyond their teen's age and assess maturity, responsibility, honesty, and decision-making before handing over the keys. Clear expectations and consistent consequences are essential. 2. Start teaching long before driver's education begins. Safe driving habits begin in childhood. Parents can model attentive driving, explain traffic rules, discuss the real risks of distracted driving, and have ongoing conversations that grow as children mature. 3. Create clear family rules that prioritize safety over convenience. Written driving agreements, phone-free driving, passenger limits, tracking technology, curfews, and an open invitation to call home for a safe ride can dramatically reduce risks while strengthening trust.
