This week, Jai and Deb discuss how to support the process of Self-Actualization in our kids. Using the groundbreaking work of psychologist Carl Rogers as a framework, we explore topics such as authenticity, unconditional love and the power of understanding.
We also explore how to form what Rogers calls helping relationships, which he defines as those relationships that "another person can use for his or her own personal growth." Rogers' three key insights into helping relationships are as follows:
1) The more that we can be genuine in a relationship, the more helpful it will be.
2) The more acceptance and liking we feel toward the other person, the more we will be creating a relationship that the other person can use for their own personal growth.
3) The more that we strive to understand the other person, the more we hold a sensitive empathy toward that person's feelings and communications, the more helpful and significant it will be.
When these three conditions are present, individuals naturally move in the direction of wholeness, maturity and self-actualization.

This week, Jai and Deb look at laziness through the lens of Self-determination Theory, revealing that it is often actually a form of amotivation - an inability to motivate - not a willful choice to remain inactive. Amotivation falls on the far end of the powerful Motivation Continuum offered by SDT, which we begin to explain.

This week, Jai and Deb explore three fundamental human psychological needs that, when met, lead to greater vitality, motivation and well-being and, when unmet, contribute to anxiety, depression and lowered of self-esteem. These needs, as articulated by Self-Determination Theory, are: relatedness, autonomy and competence. Join us as we discuss how to increase our own well-being and the well-being of our children.

Jai and Deb talk about how to better understand so-called "bad" behavior so we can more skillfully deal with the triggers that inevitably accompany the challenge of parenting.
Among the many topics that they explore, Jai and Deb show how inquiring into the stories we tell ourselves about the ways our children behave can help us be both more effective and more peaceful.
In addition, they discuss the importance of understanding and working with our own nervous systems as well as how, by reimagining our role as parents, we can bring new levels of insight and sensitivity to our relationships with our children.

This week, Jai and Deb conclude their exploration of Attachment Theory, focusing this time on the Loving Alpha.
What's the Loving Alpha? Well, it's not authoritarian or dominant style parenting and it's also not permissive. Think of it as something that is aligned with who we are and how we're meant to parent our children. Tune in to better understand what the alpha is and what it's not.
We also get into why adolescents seem so rebellious and how the Alpha can best relate to the more "demanding" child in order to prevent more problems in the future.
At the end we discuss that we don’t need to be perfect - yes, we want to hit the mark as much as we can, but when we miss the mark, we can regulate ourselves and repair the rupture.
