Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Just Do Nothing: Parenting Better by Doing Less
Q: How do we start building this armor that you talk about to help step back and do nothing with our adult children?
We must first understand our patterns of behavior and how we react when we feel distressed, leading to healthier interactions with our adult children.
Just Do Nothing: Parenting Better by Doing Less
Q: What inspired you to write the book 'Just Do Nothing' and what does doing nothing really mean for parents?
It is a paradoxical approach to parenting where doing nothing means resisting the urge to overact to feelings of discomfort and allowing adult children to work through their challenges.
Ways We Sabotage Connection with our Adult Children
Q: How do you rediscover yourself as a parent?
Parents need to take emotional risks and engage in new experiences to grow outside their parenting role, finding relevance that isn't tied to their kids.
Ways We Sabotage Connection with our Adult Children
Q: What advice do you give to parents to not get to the point where they have a knot in their stomach?
Parents should understand that their dreams and expectations may not align with their adult children's reality. Listening with empathy is crucial instead of trying to fix their problems.
Tell Your Kids The Truth: A Dad, Three Sons and What he Wished he Knew
Q: Did you expect at all at that point for them to come home? What were your expectations of them?
I think on this disease, there's very little need for physical help. It's nice to get the phone calls and how you're doing, and it's really nice that they want to be with you.
