  [Ep. 356] One Or Two Parents Cannot Replace The Village

  Oct 5, 20265 min

  One of the biggest losses of the modern era is the loss of the village. Without the village we parent in isolation and use screens with our child(ren) to give us a break. But this plunges our kid(s) into their own isolation: isolation breeding isolation, and parental burnout.

  [Ep. 354] Screens: The New Drug Everyone Is Dealing Kids

  Sep 27, 202620 min

  Screen addiction in kids, and the isolation it fosters, is the most insidious parenting issue today. Kids and adults disassociate both lose themselves in the screen — the big difference is that many of us developed without the prevalence of screens, while our kids don't have that privilege. Kids now retreat to their rooms, alone, orienting to TikTok and influencers, not their family or elders. Depression rates increase because we have taken away their connection to themselves, their family, nature, and their in-person community. As a result the bliss of boredom is missing from their lives, as is the resulting creativity. A parent’s job is to create a container for children. If devices and social media make that container, parents are handing over their roll to the whims of algorithms. Devices, used judiciously, can be a tool, but used in isolation in lieu of human connection, screen use can be devastating. Luis drops his top piece of advice around screens, his favorite resource in the books Hunt, Gather, Parent and Dopamine Kids by Michaeleen Doucleff.

  [Ep. 353] "I Don't Believe Minors Should Transition"... An Honest & Respectful Disagreement Between Myself & Psychologist Mackenzie Steiner

  Sep 20, 20261h 20m

  Luis and Psychologist Mackenzie Steiner dive deep into their own truths about minors surgically transitioning, who *actually* is trans, de-transition rates, how dysmorphia shows up in the brain, gender dysphoria, and gender affirming care options for children. They share wisdom and stories from their own individual experiences with body dysmorphia, and how they navigated the experience. Each opted for surgery as adults. The real gold is their respectful disagreement on if kids should be given gender affirming surgical procedures. In the end each still holds their same beliefs, but with a deeper understanding of why the other holds their opposing belief.

  [Ep. 352] How To Connect With Your Kids When They're Shutdown (Parallel Co-Regulation)

  Sep 13, 202619 min

  Neurodivergent kids or teenagers often come home overwhelmed just from spending the day masking, or surviving the hormonal shifts. Directly engaging them often results in frustration. They need to rebuild their capacity from the day before they are resourced enough to engage with us. Let them disconnect and resource before initiating Parallel Co-Regulation. The goal of Parallel Co-Regulation is at least 15 minutes, no phone, no mining them for information, just doing a shared task together. Learn the practice and the nuance in our 6th month Embodied Slow Group starting October 6th.
