In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino is joined by Doug Bolton, clinical psychologist, educator, and author, for an in-depth conversation on the complex realities of parenting in today’s world. Bolton sheds light on the rising rates of youth anxiety and stress—and how well-meaning parental behaviours can sometimes contribute to these challenges. The discussion explores the critical role of emotional regulation, the value of community, and the importance of prioritizing connection over competition. The conversation also examines the influence of digital culture, device use, and social media on youth relationships and the evolving understanding of consent. Bolton offers insights to help parents navigate the delicate balance between discipline, open communication, and fostering independence—all in support of their children’s emotional and mental well-being. Takeaways: The unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression in youth today can be partly attributed to the pressures of academic achievement and the competitive nature of modern schooling. Effective parenting requires a focus on emotional regulation and building connected relationships rather than relying on traditional incentives and punishments. Creating a sense of belonging within communities is crucial for children's mental health, serving as a buffer against stress and trauma. Parents must prioritize their own emotional health to model and encourage resilience and coping skills in their children. The impact of social media and device usage on children's mental health is significant, underscoring the need for open communication and understanding around consent and relationships. Encouraging independence in children is vital, but it should be balanced with the need for support and guidance to navigate the challenges of adolescence.

In this episode of Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Dr. Tasneem Sajwani, a family physician with expertise in obesity medicine and mom. They discuss the newly released Canadian Pediatric Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines, which recognize obesity as a complex, chronic disease influenced by genetic, psychological, social, and environmental factors. The episode covers how these guidelines aim to improve care through individualized, evidence-based approaches and highlights the role of communication, consent, and mental health in managing pediatric obesity. Takeaways: Paediatric obesity is a chronic and multifactorial disease that requires compassionate, evidence-based care, not mere lifestyle changes. The new Canadian guidelines emphasize the importance of quality of life over weight reduction in managing pediatric obesity.

Loneliness among young people has reached epidemic levels, with significant implications for their mental health and well-being. In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Milena Batanova, Director of Research and Evaluation at Making Caring Common at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Batanova sheds light on the disconnect between parents and teens regarding emotional support and the overwhelming achievement pressure that exacerbates feelings of isolation. Drawing on recent surveys, she reveals that many adolescents prefer confiding in friends rather than their parents, citing a lack of understanding and empathy from adults. The conversation emphasizes the importance of fostering genuine connections and empathy in parenting, as well as the need for society to prioritize social infrastructure and public education to combat loneliness.
