  • Because I Said So! 3.26.2016
    [This episode originally aired 3.26.2016]
    The CNN digital short film, "Raising Ryland," and book of the same name chronicles a 5-year-old's transition from girl to boy and the parents pledge to raise him with "no strings attached." In this week's broadcast, John takes issue with the therapist who advised the family during this process. The therapist, Darlene Tando, says that a person's gender is in their head and sex is in their biology, something she calls "biological gender." She claims that it is entirely possible for a person to have one gender in his/her head and a completely different one in his or her body.  This claim, John says, has no scientific basis whatsoever and, as a psychologist himself, feels that it is unethical to tell parents to do something without scientific evidence. The fact is that young children often take on roles not assigned to them and their play often reflects this, whether it's pretending to be a cowboy or a mother or a police officer or a superhero.  John believes firmly in the Christian position that God creates male and female and not something in between. He recommends that Christians who seek counseling go to a Biblical Counselor and directs them to http://www.biblicalcounseling.com.
    Editor's note:  John mentions that the child began claiming to be a boy after the birth of her younger brother. She began claiming to be a boy after the birth of her younger sister, not brother.

    [This episode originally aired 3.19.2016]
    Let's face it: Children do odd, strange things. They also have random thoughts and random emotions. In this episode, John says that we need to disempower psychology when it comes to the raising of children and stop running to psychologists every time our children do odd, strange things or have seemingly alarming, random thoughts. He contends that because we have been paying so much attention to psychology and its applications to parenting, we take these things too seriously and advises parents to use discernment when talking to children about their feelings.  He points to research that shows that talking to children about their feelings almost inevitably makes the feelings scarier, stranger, and more intense.
