You know what teens today are super afraid of?  Failing.  One of the biggest things holding back teens today from even trying new things is the fear of failing.  The ability to fail and not get crushed is a critical life skill, and we need to get better at it.  That’s where our guest comes in

Dr. Ashley Kuchar is a former collegiate student-athlete and the founder of Fail Better Training™. As a mental performance coach, she is passionate about helping athletes (of all levels) learn how to respond to challenging situations in ways that foster resilience rather than rely on harsh criticism. During her doctoral degree, Ashley developed a resilience program called RESET. She tested the 6-session program with over 250 NCAA student-athletes and found that it supported adaptive coping, well-being, and sport performance. Ashley played basketball and softball in high school. In college, Ashley was a starting guard for the Fort Lewis College (FLC) women's basketball team and at the conclusion of her athletic career, she was awarded the Dr. Troy Bledsoe Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

More and more, children today are exhibiting learning disabilities.  ADHD, ADD, and dyslexia. It can be really difficult, feeling so different.  And so I brought an expert on the matter who has lived through it with her child.  Lynn Greenberg is a wife, mom, and grandma. A now retired attorney, she loves to cook, exercise, and read. During COVID-19, when many families were living together with an abundance of unscheduled free time, Lynn and her son Jonathan, who has dyslexia, began to work on the concepts and ideas for Robby The Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure. As ideas developed, they became increasingly invested in the character, his story, and the impact this endeavor could have on others

You know that here at save the kids we believe that delay is the way when it comes to smart phones.  But eventually, that cat IS GETTING OUT OF THE BAG.  So instead of scaring you more about the dangers of social media and smart phones (cuz you’ve heard plenty of that by now), I want to talk about what we can do to have a healthy tech realtionship once our kids DO have a smartphone and.or social media.  And I no no one better to help us with that than my guest Andrea Davis of Better Screen Time.  For those who don’t know, Better Screen Time, their mission is to help families THRIVE in a tech heavy world.  After having their own experiences of giving a smart phone to their child too soon, Andrea and her family had to do a tech reset so it didn’t control their lives.  That’s why Better Screen Time was created, to give parents the family tested resources she WISHED she had with her family.  And we are so fortunate to get to bring her on the podcast every season.

Confidence for teens is rough.  The esteem of teen girls specifically is being attacked in a very specific way.  And it’s hard for many young women to feel confidence while they are being compared to the unrealistic standards of the interwebs.  So today, I am speaking to 3 moms, and founders of the online mentoring program I believe in me.  Everyone welcome on to the show, Katie, Becky, and Allie.  Katie, Becky, and Allie are three moms in the trenches who know what it's like to raise a family, with a combined total of 17 children between them. They are also successful businesswomen as co-founders of "I Believe in Me," an online mentoring program for tween girls. They teach tools and strategies to help girls grow their confidence, strengthen their identity and develop resilience

More and more we just can't trust what our kids are going to run into on tv. Even while we are there. A parents worst night mare is when an unexpected sex scene pops up during a movie and we can only scramble for the remote to fast forward. Well, my guest here today is here to help. Everyone meet Bill Aho from VidAngel. VidAngel is a wonderful technology that allows you to control the streaming content that comes into your home, filtering out sex, violence and profanity based on your preferences for your family.  Bill Aho is the CEO of VidAngel and is here to tell us more about how it works, and how it can be a useful tool for you to protect your family from unwanted content.

We’ve heard a lot about the dangers of social media.  And a lot of it is qualitative data.  Anecdotal stories that really hit us in our feels.  But I want to show you guys the real life stuff.  And so I connected with a Physician in Canada who sees medically just how dangerous social media can be for young kids.  So I brought her here on the show today!   Dr. Alison Yeung is a practicing family physician from Ontario, Canada. She has been practicing for the past 11 years, and over that time has becoming increasingly aware of the mental health crisis facing children and teens. After speaking with patients, and examining the research, it’s become clear that social media and video games are causing a significant deterioration in their mental health. She is hoping to raise awareness about this topic by educating parents, and providing strategies to reduce the harm caused by these devices

So, the beauty industry is a feckled thing.  While we want our kids to be presentable and take care of themselves, we also don’t want them to feel the crushing weight of the unrealistic standards that the beauty industry has set.  So I brought on a bit of an expert in the matter.  Everybody meet Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness.  Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness is a board certified pediatric dermatologist with a busy academic practice in Minneapolis. She is mom to two tween boys and co-founder of Stryke Club. Dr. Maguiness is active in her National Society and is currently the President of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology.
