For the final episode of season 1, Dr. Swick sits down with a special guest: her sister Lauren, who is a dear friend and a parent of two. They talk about what’s guided and sustained Lauren in raising two children with very different needs and experiences. Plus, how their own upbringing influenced their parenting styles. This episode is all about the ever-evolving journey of parenthood from the eyes of two people who knew each other from the start.

Talkaboutable is produced by Lemonada Media, in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, and made possible through funding from the Montage Health Foundation. Together, we are committed to helping families talk about the issues children, teens, and young adults are facing today. We believe that when these conversations happen at home — even about the most challenging subjects — children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.

How To Raise Two Children with Different Needs

When your kids are in their 20s but still under your roof, how do you know when to step in and when to step back? Today’s guest, a single father of two, is experiencing this problem twofold, since his young adult sons are identical twins! At 21, they’ve fought hard for the skills and independence they’ve achieved, and yet they still sometimes fall short with certain elements of adulthood. This father wants to know the best way forward, and we talk about how that can start with modeling some challenging behaviors himself. This is a conversation about knowing your kids and when they need help, and how letting them observe, attempt and figure things out themselves can sometimes be the best kind of help.

My Mom Is A Narcissist, But I Want My Son To Have A Relationship With Her

Questions about parenting seem to never end! They can be about what’s happening at home, at school, or inside your child’s head. Today, I’m tackling five different questions in one episode so we can get more guidance and tips in the hands of more parents. We cover screentime, when to have “the talk” about sex, and even tough genealogy questions! But by making it all talkaboutable, you’ll see that there are lots of solutions and paths forward and that you already have many of the tools you need to get the conversation started.

How Do I Talk to My Kid About Marijuana?

How can we help our kids let go of their anxieties and surrender to sleep? That’s the question we’re tackling today. This father of two opens up about his 11-year-old daughter’s struggle to fall asleep at night. He can’t seem to figure out why his daughter is so independent during the day but unable to be left alone at night. Together, we discuss tools to help her sleep, plus why big transitions like starting middle school can disrupt a kid’s confidence and calm demeanor.

My Middle Schooler Can’t Fall Asleep by Herself – What Can I Do?

How can you tactfully coach a child toward motivation and routine when they’ve experienced a major loss? Liz, a mother of two, asks herself this every day. After losing her middle daughter in 2020, she has watched her oldest struggle to do chores and make plans. Liz knows her middle child’s death was devastating on the entire family unit, and yet she wants her 18-year-old to move forward with her plans for college and her career. This conversation is about being curious with a child who is both hurting and growing, and the care our kids need as they enter adulthood, especially in the most unexpected of circumstances.

We believe that when these conversations happen at home &mdash; even about the most challenging subjects &mdash; children build the skills they need to flourish. Because when families are connected, the hard moments become more bearable, the good moments become even better, and it all becomes Talkaboutable.&nbsp;

My Kids Don’t Know We’re Moving In With My New Boyfriend

Ever wish someone could just tell you the right thing to say to your kid? Me too. Parenting brings us the greatest gifts and it can be messy, confusing, and downright exhausting. 

 

I’m Dr. Susan Swick, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. I’m also a mom of 4. And I believe if you can talk about it with your kids, you can tackle it. We can make it Talkaboutable. 

 

Each episode, I’ll hear from a parent about what’s keeping them up at night and together, we’ll unlock how they are already equipped to face and manage it. When our kids handle even the most difficult situations alongside a caring adult, the hard moments become more bearable, and the good moments become even better. 

 

From Lemonada Media in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, new episodes out every Tuesday.
