Sunday Morning Magazine with Rodney Lear

Teen Panelists: Isaac, Emily, Devin and Ana Maria. Isaac will be heading off to his freshman year of college in the next few weeks. Emily, Devin and Ana Maria are looking forward to their senior year of High School later this month.

Many people believe that teens today face more challenges than any other generation. What do teens think about sex? Who are their role models? Why is it so hard to be a teenager today? And what do teens really want from their parents? These are some of the questions we ask our teen panel during our special Teen Roundtable edition of Sunday Morning Magazine. The panel is comprised of four teens from four very diverse backgrounds. During our hour-long discussion, our teen panel members discuss issues that teens face from teen suicide to teen pregnancy, bullying and body image.

About the Williams House

Our teens benefit from an extensive diagnostic assessment integrated with treatment. Williams House offers an assessment and treatment program that allows each individual stay to be customized for the patient and family.

A 14-day core assessment focuses on the diagnostics, evaluation and an extensive array of assessments and tests, individualized based on the patient’s presenting symptoms.

Throughout this period the patient meets with their multidisciplinary treatment team. The goal is to form trusting relationships, which helps them work together to complete the assessment process. The treatment team works together to develop the right course of testing and strategy that maximizes the patient’s stay at Williams House.

Cymbria Hess, Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist; Renee Mattson, Parenting Coach, Child In Bloom; Gene Blair, The Family Nurturing Center. For this edition of the show, we hosted an on-air roundtable discussion on parenting with three local parenting experts. During our one- hour conversation, our experts spoke about the pressure that parents often face to be “perfect.” Each panelist weighed in with advice on parenting children in the age of social media. They also dispensed helpful advice for first time parents, parents of special needs children, parents in a blended family situation, and parents of adult children.

Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Author. New from Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent, comes THE AWAKENED FAMILY: A Revolution in Parenting. She's been featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday and Oprah's Lifeclass. Oprah Winfrey called Dr. Shefali’s first book “the most profound book on parenting I’ve ever encountered.” In this new book, Dr. Shefali shows us that connecting with our children—showing them that our love is unconditional and not tied to external success, praise, or validation—allows them to develop their self-worth and resilience. Dr. Shefali’s revolutionary plan focuses not on how we can change our kids—but on how we can change ourselves as parents so we can become our children’s biggest supporters and resources. This book lays out a clear path to more effective, rewarding parenting, and gives parents the tools to tune into their own needs and challenges in order to better accommodate their children’s needs.
