The preteen/teen years are a time of immense change and growth that often come with difficulty between mother and child. As the mom of a teen you may find yourself confused or frustrated with your child’s new behavior and attitudes. (The thought of those years is enough to fill elementary-kid moms with dread!)  Come and listen as we shed light on the confusion of these transitional years that will help us both prepare for and thrive during this crucial developmental stage. In this episode Child Development Specialist, Dr. Nell Bush, explains to us the four pillars of preteen/teen development.  Dr. Bush co-authored The Parenting Survival Guide, a practical handbook for parents addressing common child rearing concerns. Having four children of her own, she understands teen development on a theoretical and practical level. Nell encourages us that if we can understand what’s going on socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically with our preteens/teens we can respond with compassion and adapt our parenting strategies to fit their needs. She also covers aspects of development from why teens sleep so much to why they seem to love and hate us almost simultaneously. Draw hope for the present or wisdom for the future as you sit in (or do the dishes, or drive the kids all over) on Heather and Nell’s conversation.  Connect with Dr. Nell Bush:   Email:   nell.f.bush@gmail.com  Links Mentioned:     Handout from Dr. Bush Birds and Bees  https://birds-bees.com/   Episodes with Mary Flo and Megan Michaelson of Birds and Bees  Featured Sponsors:    Framebridge:Get started today–frame your photos or send someone the perfect gift.

Understand Your Developing Teen :: Dr. Nell Bush [Ep 351]

We’re talking all things love this February, and it’s only fitting we talk about our love for our kids! Speaking of love, how was your Valentine’s day?  Some years, V-Day (that’s what the cool kids call it) entails fancy clothes and a night out for a steak. Other years, it’s more of the boneless wings and a Diet Coke variety.  Mine fell in the wings category this year, but I have no complaints. As I approach close to twenty years of marriage, I’ve found that I feel most loved in the small places that receive no huge fanfare. It’s my husband’s sweet smile when he knows I’ve kept my patience after answering my toddler’s hundredth question of the hour. Or when I come home from a work event to a clean kitchen and an empty dishwasher.  After you’ve been married for a while, it’s the small things that become the big things. Don’t let them go unnoticed. Back to loving our kids. Nell Bush joins us today to talk about being intentional in how we show love to our kids.  We talk about practicing patience and love by accepting their inborn temperament and understanding their particular stage of development.  She also reminds us of the importance of establishing a trusting environment through routines and rituals.  And don’t miss her practical suggestions on disciplining your kids. It will give you lots to think about.   Nell is a great parenting resource, and I can’t wait for you to hear her wise words.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
