  Becoming a Father, Facing the Past (Stephen Lamberton)

  —36 minS3

  Our friend Stephen Lamberton was just eight years old when his father died by suicide. For the next four decades, he carried that loss at arm's length – something that happened in his family, something that was about his dad. But not really about him. Then his own son turned eight. The grief and trauma that Stephen never processed as a boy started to show up in his life as a father. Relatively minor moments with his kids would trigger waves of anger that felt out of proportion and difficult to control. He didn't understand what was happening. So he got help. Now a volunteer with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Tree House Bereavement Center of Westchester, Stephen sits down with Milano and Alanna to talk about how unprocessed childhood trauma can quietly shape the kind of parent we become – and what it looks like to do something about it. In this episode, we talk about: 👉 Parenting with unresolved trauma 👉 Childhood grief and emotional suppression 👉 Rage, resentment, and repair 👉 PTSD and fatherhood 👉 Vulnerability with children 👉 Breaking cycles instead of repeating them 👉 Healing after a parent’s suicide ========================== 📱Learn more about the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Tree House Bereavement Center of Westchester . 📱Follow us: Instagram: @barenakedmoms YouTube: @BareNakedMoms

  Episode #28

  Have We Been Thinking About ADHD All Wrong? (Paul Tough)

  —1h 15mS3

  Paul Tough’s New York Times Magazine article “Have We Been Thinking About ADHD All Wrong?” really stirred the ADHD pot by calling BS on so much of the collective reasoning around what ADHD is and how to treat it. Is it nature (biology)? Is it nurture (environment)? What does “having it” really mean? And how do you go about “having it” less, or not at all? Milano, who, along with two of her three kids (so far!) “has” ADHD, came away from Tough’s article with a strong thoughts and feelings—a response made all the more complicated by the fact that she’s a big fan of Tough’s work, including his bestselling books How Children Succeed and Helping Children Succeed. Milano had so many questions and counterpoints scribbled in the margins of the article, she asked him to come on the show and get into all of it. Paul and Milano (Alanna is just a producer on this one) unpack so many layers of this incredibly slippery subject. And they offer each other different ways of looking at each one of those layers. Trust - you do NOT want to miss this rich, fascinating conversation that deepens the bigger ADHD conversation and helps explain why the topic—and the response to Tough’s article— is so heated. In This Episode: 👉 The symptoms and causes of ADHD 👉 Hotly debated treatments for ADHD: biology, environment, or both? 👉 Why the glasses metaphor doesn’t work 👉 When medication is the right path 👉 Links between ADHD and Trauma 🔗 Learn more about Paul 📱 Follow us on Instagram @barenakedmoms

  Why Community Service Matters and How to Get It on the Family Calendar (Adrienne Harper)

  —51 minS3

  After having her first child nine years ago, Adrienne Harper started Bundles of Joy, an incredible organization that provides critical items to families living in poverty throughout New York City and Westchester County. There’s a gap in social services that you don’t know or think about unless you’re caught in it: Even families who receive the benefits of free shelter and public assistance still lack essentials like clothing, diapers, shoes, school supplies, and so on. Bundles of Joy is the leading provider of such essentials—thanks to Adrienne’s vision, passion, and dogged commitment. Adrienne takes us back to how it all started for her, why social work is so important for kids and families to engage in, and actual ways to make it happen for YOUR family. In This Episode: 👉 Asking for help takes courage. 👉 Rich or poor, motherhood is the great equalizer. 👉 The major impact of diapers. 👉 What families in need really need. 👉 What volunteering kids and families gain from helping less fortunate families. ========================== 🎁 Donate to Bundles of Joy 📱 Follow Bundles of Joy: @bundlesofjoyny 📱 Follow us: @barenakedmoms
