Raising Daughters

122
Parenting #230

Girls tend to be more sensitive and anxious than boys. They experience a wide range of emotions simultaneously, which can make them difficult to predict. This presents a significant difficulty for parents, many of whom are already overburdened. If you do not know what is going on in their heads and hearts or the struggles they face on a daily basis, it is hard to know how to best support them.

 

You have found Raising Daughters, a warm and helpful resource for parents on how to best care for and direct their young daughters as they develop. If you have daughters and want to help them through life's challenges, this podcast can give you the tools and guidance you need to do just that. Learn ways to connect with them such that you can remain an influence in their lives throughout the teen years and beyond,

 

Find out in each episode what it really takes to take care of your girls, who are under more stress than ever before. They may be overly concerned with academic success, self-image issues, or anxiety to handle diverse social situations. Being overwhelmed by their emotions can lead to sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety and even depression. It is your responsibility as a parent to guide them in the right direction despite the chaos of the outside world. Learn from this podcast how to start important conversations with your daughters and give them the help they need to feel protected and loved.

 

Each discussion delves deeply into what kids are thinking, feeling, and experiencing today, from schoolwork to dating life, friendships and even within themselves. Get ready to hear some personal, sensitive, and confronting information about the lives of modern-day young women. Learn from their experiences, some of which may go unnoticed or ununderstood, and improve as a parent of your own daughters as a result.

 

The parents featured in this podcast share their insights and advice gained through raising children. Data-driven strategies for raising daughters are discussed, and episodes feature authors and experts in various fields of child development. To really get to the heart of what is going on in a girl's head, heart, and soul, the show also has girls on who share their current thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

 

The podcast also discusses the effects of technology on the lives of young women. Parents need to step up their game as their children become more preoccupied with their phones and more vulnerable as a result of what they see on social media. In today's instantaneous digital world, it is important for parents to be informed about the various online communities in which their children participate. This podcast will serve as your helpful guide as you learn about the media and technology your daughters are using.

 

Dr. Tim Jordan, a specialist in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, hosts the podcast. He has been mentoring young women for over 30 years, primarily through his counseling practice, weekend retreats and summer camps with a focus on self-improvement and leadership. Throughout his career, Dr. Tim gave talks to audiences of parents and professionals in the United States and around the world. He has the pulse of what every parent needs in raising daughters because of his extensive background and personal encounters with both parents and children. In every episode, he sets the tone with a friendly and humorous introduction that makes the discussion more enjoyable for the audience. 

 

The thoughts and feelings of young women are often misunderstood. If you label them as emotional wrecks, you are missing the point. Make a special effort to understand your children's feelings. Follow along with Dr. Tim as he helps you delve into their heads to learn about and empathize with their inner workings. In doing so, you improve as a parent and better meet the needs of your precious daughters.

    Love This Podcast!
    This podcast is amazing. I love listening to it each week. Dr. Jordan has provided me with great advice on how to navigate "the girl world". He is extremely insightful and I can't wait to keep listening!

    I admire Dr. Jordan’s integrity and courage in bringing this controversial issue to light through his podcast. He raises some very good points.
  • Selmomma
    My New Partner in Parenting!
    I am really enjoying listening to Dr. Jordan’s podcasts. He does a great job explaining the connections between the body, the brain, the spirit, and the environment of girls today. He has a gift for breaking down complex dynamics into simple, understandable components that make overcoming obstacles seem not only possible, but genuinely attainable. As a parent I finds these sessions full of pearls!

    Great Insight & Advice!
    I started listening to Dr. Jordan's podcasts when my daughter was having some difficulty with anxiety issues, particularly surrounding the dreaded "girl drama". I listened to them by myself first and then we listened to a few of them together. The little pointers were invaluable tools she could use to address some of the uncomfortable emotional growing pains she was experiencing. Our favorite to this day is to do a fist bump, high five or hug before school and tell each other to "keep our power". The take away points are simple and useful, for my daughter as well as the whole family. What a blessing they have been.
  • Adah_Cheetah
    Good
    Good advice for raising kids, keep making more videos
  • Yami Drake
    Love this podcast
    Thank you for creating such and informative and engaging podcast series. I have a 7 year old daughter and listening to your podcast has helped me a lot with understanding some of her emotional changes and needs. I wish your summer camp was closer to where I live so she could attend.
  • Jaybirdslady
    More Please!
    The topics of this podcast resonated deeply with me. I hope there are many more episodes to come. As a mother of 3 daughters, one of which is 13, I need this like I need my morning coffee!
  • 3 buoys
    MUST LISTEN TO FOR PARENTS, TEACHER, COACHES
    Even though this is titled "Raising Daughters", as a mom of 3 boys I have found tremendous value from this podcast. This is outstanding for me as a parent (to make sure I'm working through my stuff so I can show up as the best parent for my son), for me as a coach of teen girls (to empower them with tools to develop their emotional intelligence), and for me as a middle-aged mom (to see where I can still grow). Thank you, thank you, thank you and keep up the grand work!
  • Tvd1012
    Best podcast on girls!!!
    I could not more highly recommend this podcast if you have daughters at home! Dr. Jordan's experience and expertise are so valuable, especially in today's culture. He comes across as compassionate and genuine and is full of wisdom. I look forward with anticipation to each new episode.
  • DriftingMama
    Finally, one all about raising girls!
    I'm so excited I found this. What a wonderful podcast and I hope he keeps doing more. I'm learning so much about my relationship with my daughters naturally. But I'm also learning about myself and how my relationship with my husband and my own dad factors into my parenting choices with my girls. My husband also is listening to this as well and it has him really evaluating how he speaks to me and his daughters (although he's already amazing). So far my favorites are the ones that focus on empowering girls and preventing victim mentality. Empowerment is so important for girls right now. We are also struggling with "learned helplessness" currently and I would love a podcast that covers this in the future. Thank you.
  • KChandle
    Can't wait to hear more
    I truly hope this is indeed a brand new podcast and not a vision that was started and abandoned. I can't wait to hear all that you have to say on this topic. I have three girls to raise and I feel ill-equipped, even though I myself am a woman. Now that my oldest daughter is five and I've seen her pick up things that I already feel I need to train and reverse somehow, I feel a growing passion for this topic as well. I so desperately want to succeed as a mother for my girls. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience!
