As I prepare to launch another mini-podcast series next week it occurred to me that I never shared this one in this space. The topics of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and pornography are too important and too widespread among our kids today not to share. So if you haven’t listened already I hope you will. Each of these episodes can be found at The Redemptive Parenting Podcast on Apple Podcast and shownotes for all episodes are always posted on The Redemptive Parenting website podcast page HERE.
In Episode 26: Messy Hope with Lori Wildenberg, who is an author, speaker, and parenting coach, we talk about why kids are struggling so much with mental health issues, what parents can do to help prevent struggles on the front-end, and how best to walk alongside them in the midst of darkness. In addition to the episode, you can read more from Lori in her new book by the same title, Messy Hope: Help Your Child Overcome Anxiety, Depression, or Suicidal Ideation.
In Episode 27: Eating Disorders with Alice Churnock, who is a LPC and eating disorder specialist, we talk about different types of eating disorders (some lesser known but rising in prevalence), why eating disorders are not really about the food, the healing journey, the impact on the family, and practical advice for parents with a child who may be struggling.
In Episode 28: Defending Our Kids Against Porn with Kristen Jenson, who is an author and the founder of DefendYoungMinds.com, we talk about what led Kristen to get involved in the fight against porn, what our kids need to know, how to talk to our kids about porn at different ages, how the new Canopy filter work, what porn does to the brain and more. **In addition (but not mentioned in the episode) Redemptive Parenting listeners can now get Canopy for FREE for the first 30 days and 20% forever after! Just use promo code: “RedemptiveParenting”**
