Is there anything harder than raising a teenager in today's world? In this episode of Hold Me Back, Ash and Aidan get mom's perspective from the two co-founders of Your Teen Media, a leading platform for information and advice on raising teenagers.
In Part 2 of this Hold Me Back podcast episode, Aidan and Ash explore how we might overcome our biases and motivated reasoning - the cause of the divisiveness - by bringing back rational dialogue and critical thinking.
With practically unlimited access to a world of unfiltered content, real or fiction, do parents need to fundamentally rethink how they monitor and control their children's access to content? Do they have to start over with well-established content rating systems to account for this new reality?
Should I be reading my teenager's texts? Why are so many children opposed to apps that monitor their location? Aidan and Ash explore a topic that's becoming increasingly challenging to navigate in the new digital age - setting appropriate boundaries when it comes to adolescent privacy “invasion.”
The boys welcome their first expert guest, Mark Lush, as they tackle the topic that makes the world go round - money. Aidan and Ash explore what it means to have a healthy relationship with money and whether their generations share a common perspective.
Put that phone away! Or don’t? Device usage and screen time often becomes the most contested topic between kids and parents. Aidan and Ash dive into the research and compare the findings with the realities in their own household.
