Beskrivelse

When your kids are in their 20s but still under your roof, how do you know when to step in and when to step back? Today’s guest, a single father of two, is experiencing this problem twofold, since his young adult sons are identical twins! At 21, they’ve fought hard for the skills and independence they’ve achieved, and yet they still sometimes fall short with certain elements of adulthood. This father wants to know the best way forward, and we talk about how that can start with modeling some challenging behaviors himself. This is a conversation about knowing your kids and when they need help, and how letting them observe, attempt and figure things out themselves can sometimes be the best kind of help. Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health [https://www.montagehealth.org/care-treatment/mental-behavioral/ohana/] at Montage Health [https://www.montagehealth.org/], and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.  Stay up to date with Lemonada on X [https://twitter.com/LemonadaMedia], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/lemonadamedia/] and Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/lemonadamedia/] at @LemonadaMedia.

My Kids Are Dealing With ADHD and Anxiety – And They’re Clashing

What do you do when your kids can go from best friends to fighting, yelling and getting physical? In this episode, we’re talking to a dad with two boys who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, and the frequent transitions of a 50/50 custody arrangement. This is a conversation about breaking the conflict cycle and building rituals that actually stick.

Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.

Dr. Nimali Fernando on How Kids Can Explore New Foods

In this episode we take a deeper dive into the topic of picky eating with Dr. Nimali Fernando, the founder of the Dr. Yum project, a nonprofit with a mission to help families and communities overcome barriers to eating well. We talk to Dr. Fernando about some of the techniques she uses to help kids practice eating new foods. And we also discuss worries about nutritional deficiencies, whether rewards are a good tactic, and if we should be calling it “picky eating” at all.

My Kid Is a Finicky Eater – What Can I Do?

What do you do when your kid will only eat a handful of different foods? In this episode, we're sitting down with a mom who is helping her 8-year-old work through his food anxiety and actually get curious about what's on his plate. This is a conversation about turning mealtime stress into creative exploration, and why a super-sensitive palate could be a superpower in disguise.
