"I love this rule!"...said no child/teenager ever.

But this week we find out how it might actually be possible to get our kids onboard with the rules we make.

Dr. Skinner shares the secret sauce:

Relationships before rules. Care not control.

...And the importance of collaborating and connecting with our kids over the why's behind the boundaries we make as parents.

Sure this may sound like you might be adding more work to your already full plate as a parent, all this relationship building and communication-- but in this episode we learn how this front work actually eliminates future friction and stress-- And even forges bonds suffuse with so much love, safety, and care between parent and child.

Today on Finding Noble we address the exhausting challenges of parenting in a digital age.

Technology doesn't own us! But sometimes it feels like we've lost all power.

Our goal here is to help you create collaborative guidelines as a family to ensure technology is serving rather than hindering personal development and connection in your family relationships.

We stress on how technology is profoundly effecting our kid's mental health, the importance of maintaining a positive parent-child relationship within your discussions around technology, and the necessity for educating your own kids on the impact of digital devices, social apps, etc.

Dr. Skinner also discusses the power of teaching AND modeling self-regulation.

Yikes!... This means more awareness and accountability as parents and taking intentional control over our own technology habits.

We hope this helps diminish tension around technology in your home and homes everywhere!

Thank you for all the unseen goodness you do. Keep going.

"Get comfortable with the uncomfortable." -Devon Mills (And Johann Hari)

In this episode Carly and Dr. Skinner welcome expert Dr. Devon Mills, founder of Thrive Counseling in Atlanta. Together Dr. Skinner and Dr. Mills, both with decades of research and empirical evidence to back it, powerfully examine the harm pornography poses with our young people.

We go over the average age of first exposure, the developmental dangers, and the detrimental effects of early exposure.

We cover how the challenges of pornography have evolved with technology advancing at such an extreme pace, and the necessity for proactive and supportive parental involvement.

Dr. Devon Mills and Dr. Skinner invite parents to have the crucial, albeit admittedly uncomfortable, conversations with their children about pornography and sexuality.

We discuss what the most helpful and also the least helpful responses are when learning of a child's pornography exposure.

We also touch on the importance of not vilifying sex, the role of consistent and frequent dialogue, and understanding our own beliefs about pornography to effectively communicate them with our children.

This episode you really don't want to miss!
