ASK! The Podcast

Your teen says that all they want is to be happy--what do you do?!  What do you say?!  No worries, we've got you covered.  We're talking about choices, attitude, and contentment.  In other words, how to be Happy!

How do you know if you're happy?  What is Happiness?  Is there a pill that will make you happy instantly?  Nope, it takes effort sometimes.  That's okay, we've got ya covered.  Syd and Beth talk about what happiness really is in this episode and how to achieve your perfect happiness.

Hey Y'all!  In this episode Sydney and Beth explain how to know if your kiddo has ADHD.  We talk about different ways to support a kid with ADHD when they're struggling to do their homework.  We also discuss different supports you can ask your child's school for--these do not give your kid a "special education" label (not that it should matter if it helps them with their education, but we know there can sometimes be stigma and judgement from surprising sources).  If you'd like more information, the resources we discussed in the episode are listed below.  If you'd like to ask us for more information, email us at [email protected] or on Instagram @askthepodcast

Heyyy!  This week we're answering a question about how to deal with parents who aren't "together" anymore and who say mean things about each other to you all the time.  Sometimes it's just one parent who is bitter or angry, but sometimes it's both parents.  We share strategies on how to help your parent(s) understand they're just hurting you and themselves when they complain about their ex.  Are your parents separated/broken up?  Tell us about it.  Maybe your parents are rocking co-parenting--we'd love to hear positive stories about what they're doing right.  If you're struggling with a situation send us your questions.  [email protected]  #askthepodcast #kidsofdivorce #stopfightingoverme

Bullying.  It sucks.  Nuff said.  But sometimes it's hard to determine if you're really being bullied or if you just don't like what someone is saying.  In this episode, Beth & Syd lay out the differences.  Then we share strategies for dealing with bullying.

Hi Parents!  This week we're defining Bullying and then we offer suggestions on how to support your teen if they're being bullied.

This episode follows up on our previous episode for parents about teen anger.  In this episode Beth & Sydney address the anger and other emotions that teens struggle with when they've been violated or harmed in some way (date rape, physical bullying/beaten up, hate crime, pedophile online, etc.).  We share strategies for supporting and talking with teens.  As always, we love your questions so send us a DM or email.
