Finding Anchor: Parenting in the New Non-Normal

This week on Finding Anchor, Tim and Phyllis sit down with Dr. Mary Alvord to talk about fostering children's resiliency and helping them manage the inevitable ups and downs of life, both now and long after the pandemic ends.

This week we focus on Teens & Tech. Our guest is Dr. Sameer Hinduja, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center and professor of criminology at Florida Atlantic University.

Please join us as we discuss cyberbullying, online gaming, software available to concerned parents, and how social media can be used wisely and productively by teens.

In this episode, Tim and Phyllis talk to Jessica Lahey, author of "The Addiction Inoculation," about how parents can instill optimism and teach their children skills--such as self-efficacy and self-regulation--that will help them make smart, healthy decisions throughout their lives.

This week we visit with Dr. Clarissa Escobar Aguilar. Both Dr. Aguilar and her husband are child/family psychologists who work with Latino families. Join us to learn how Dr. Aguilar supports her patients, and how she approaches her own parenting challenges as the mother of two boys, ages 11 and 13.

In the inaugural episode of Finding Anchor, Tim and Phyllis unpack the emotional and mental health challenges parents and teens have faced in the pandemic, and where they've found optimism in these troubling times.

Finding Anchor: Parenting in the New Non-Normal is a limited-series podcast for parents and their teens, hosted by esteemed authors and therapists Tim Cavell and Phyllis Fagell. New episodes air every Wednesday, starting April 28th. Join us!
