Beyond the Screen Parenting Wisdom in a Tech-Driven World - episode 107

Lift OneSelf -Podcast

Discover the dance of life as Matthew “Dr. Matt” Zakreski, joins me, Nat Nat, in a heartfelt exploration of our inner emotional landscapes on the latest Lift One Self podcast episode. Together, we tackle the harmony of our identities and the significance of aligning with our personal values, offering listeners a deep dive into mental resilience. The rain pitter-patters outside, birds sing, and we're reminded of the simple joys even as we navigate the complexity of feelings. Dr. Matt, with his wisdom as a clinical psychologist, speaks to the art of cognitive flexibility and how granting ourselves the permission to feel can be transformative.
Parenting takes center stage as we unpack the nuanced language of anger and its roots in helplessness and fear. I'll share my personal 'angry cleaning' strategy, while Dr. Matt illuminates the importance of teaching our children to express their emotions in a society that often stifles vulnerability, particularly in boys. Our conversation takes a turn towards the digital realm, as we ponder the challenges of parenting in the age of technology. We discuss the delicate balance between guiding and restricting, the necessity of intentional digital parenting, and how to empower our children to set their own boundaries in an online world that's as enticing as it is omnipresent.
As we round off our journey, we step into the shoes of neurodivergent individuals and their advocates. Dr. Matt's passion shines through as we address the lack of awareness around neurodiversity and the power of personalized education. If our candid discussion resonates with you, it might just spark a flame in someone else's life too. Share the warmth and wisdom of this episode, connect with us on social media, and remember—extending kindness to yourself is the first step on the path to well-being.
