Few things can be more frustrating as a parent than trying to mediate sibling rivalry. You want your kids to be friends but instead they are fighting, badgering, and teasing each other. It feels like you are getting nowhere!  You think, “How do I stop him from hitting others?” or “Why can’t my kids just get along?!” But what if we could use sibling conflict as an opportunity to explain emotions and feelings to a child? You know what the cool thing is? Sibling rivalry is the perfect opportunity for teaching emotional awareness and explaining about feelings and emotions to a child. If you’re looking for an emotional intelligence activity, look no further. Just wait for the next time your kids start arguing—probably some time in the next nine minutes. An opportunity to explain emotions and feelings to a child When kids fight with siblings or playmates, their selfish tendencies can get the best of them. But there is real hope: When you as a parent express empathy, you can unlock your child’s big emotions. You can also teach your kids to have empathy for each other. How? By explaining to your child about feelings and emotions, and giving them the language and skills to identify those feelings in themselves and each other. Today’s episode is the second part in a series about The Power of Empathy. Join Stacy Bellward (podcast host) and Lynne Jackson (co-founder of Connected Families) as they discuss this super common challenge.

Do you ever wonder how much time you would save with a therapist if they only knew your Enneagram type? Many of us have come to the Enneagram as a tool to help us overcome issues that have kept us from getting to our next level of awareness. And when we go to therapy, we are trying to tackle those same things. So what does it look like when a therapist actually applies the Enneagram as a tool within their therapy practice? In this episode, Uranio Paes interviews Beatrice Chestnut on what her experience has been over the past decades using the Enneagram in her psychotherapy work. Learn tricks of the trade and hear how powerful the tool can be when used in conjunction with therapeutic practices. Whether you are a therapist yourself, a therapy client, or therapy-curious, this one is for you! And don't forget to download the article on Object Relations Theory by Beatrice that was mentioned in the episode.

Who are we when we can't answer where we're from? Who are we when we can't locate ourselves on family trees or on familiar religious traditions or among genetic traits? How do we live after we thought what was true about our identity is totally upended? In this conversation, Kate speaks with writer Dani Shapiro about uncovering life-altering and long-hidden family secrets, what it means to belong, and what to do when the truth is… complicated.

David Thomas and I talked for SOOOO long in our interview because he's the BEST. The last part of our convo was specific to handling screen time with boys. The DMA team figured we could shorten the main episode by releasing this part separately. Of course, David and I did not cover every angle of managing technology (people write whole books on that topic). But I hope it helps you feel less alone in the struggle and empowered to do a few things: * Create a Family Media Plan (or at least use the media calculator)--see links below * Discuss what creative things your family has done outside of screen time. After reminiscing, brainstorm new ideas. * Ask your son about one of his favorite video games. Perhaps sit down and play one with him. Let me know how it goes.
