  • Summary

  • The Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens Podcast is a place for inspiration, education and entertainment. You are not alone, the terrain of adolescence is messy. There are so many challenges for parents to move through - from chores, screentime, grades and sneaking out, to teen anxiety and college applications. We don't hold back here, all topics are on the table. I am your host, Casey O'Roarty, Positive Discipline Lead Trainer and parent coach, honored to share the space with you as we examine our parenting styles and impact on our relationships with our middle school and high schoolers. I’ve been in the trenches myself and embraced the opportunities for self help that raising my own kids offered me. The podcast includes interviews and solo shows centering risky behavior such as substance use and sexual development, as well as convos that deep dive into mental health and nurturing family relationships.

    Eps 528: Helping teenagers make better decisions with Dain Heer
    Nov 18 2024
    My guest today is Dain Heer and we’re talking about helping teenagers make better decisions through judgment, communication, & choices. We discuss how to react when we know our teenagers are making decisions that (we believe) aren’t in their best interest. Dain shares tools & strategies for communicating with others, including our youth, when they have different points of view. We talk about the difference between teaching right and wrong versus the power of choices. We get into the feeling of urgency & reactivity that comes with raising our kids. Takeaways from the show Access Consciousness The importance of feeling seen What gets in the way of being seen without judgment? Finding compassion instead of dismissing teens “Just because it’s messy doesn’t mean it’s wrong” “Your choice creates” language Teens haven’t developed their filters Awareness comes from experiences The urgency & reactivity that comes from raising adolescents For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.

  • Eps 527: Teenagers, driving and safety

    Eps 527: Teenagers, driving and safety
    Nov 14 2024
    This was such a fun episode to create! A parent in the Joyful Courage for Parents of Teens opened up about their concerns for their 15-year-old daughter, who’s beginning to ride with friends who are new drivers. As her peers gain driving experience, this parent is feeling understandably anxious about safety and how to guide their teen through this phase. I acknowledged these valid concerns and suggested a reframing approach, focusing on building trust in teens’ growth through their experiences. While emphasizing the importance of safety, I encouraged open, ongoing conversations about responsible driving to help build awareness and accountability. I also recommended that parents engage their teens with questions about friends’ driving behaviors and reinforce family rules constructively. To help manage parental anxiety, I shared practical tools like deep breathing, recognizing fears, and reframing thoughts to foster trust in the learning process. Allowing teens to make mistakes within safe boundaries, I explained, helps build their decision-making skills and strengthens the parent-teen relationship. Watching teens gain independence is challenging, but it’s a crucial step in their development.

    Eps 526: School avoidance and school refusal with Jenell Kheriaty
    Nov 11 2024
    My guest today is Jenell Kheriaty, and we’re talking about school avoidance & school refusal. We discuss what school refusal is and if there’s certain “types” of kids who are predisposed to school avoidance or school refusal. Both Jenell and I share how we support families who are struggling with their teens not going to school, some specific questions you can ask your teen about school, and how and why parents need to stay curious about their teen’s school experience., We talk about how to handle our own feelings when changes are not happening as fast as we want. We get into figuring out if your child’s school is a good fit, finding alternative options to your neighborhood high school, and checking our own assumptions about our teen’s journey in school. Takeaways from the show School refusal is typically not a case of defiance, it’s an act of protection All kids, even successful high-achievers, can struggle with school avoidance School refusal is a symptom of something else going on “Be curious, not judgmental” When our timeline doesn’t line up with their timeline When your teen has a different temperament and stress tolerance than you do Alternative schooling options Trusting the process, trusting the journey Maintaining relationship during the bumpy times For more show notes, including transcripts, visit our website here.
