“Kids Under Construction” is a podcast about parenting with a flip in the script – it’s not about the result, instead, it’s about the process. When we focus on the process, we are more compassionate with our children and ourselves. Hosted by parenting expert, journalist and regular “Dr. Phil’ contributor Donna Tetreault, “Kids Under Construction” explores important and innovative research about children, their brains, their development and the rapidly-changing world they live in. From Internet dangers like cyber bullying and pornography to homework and IEPs to sports to kindness and empathy, this podcast looks at all things kids! Donna interviews top experts, doctors, educators, psychologists, coaches and celebrities to deliver a fresh perspective on parenting and talks with moms, dads, and kids who are going through the ups and downs of childhood, today. Just like a construction site, there may be hazards, it may get messy, but if we work together, we can build something beautiful! Donna is here to give you the tools you need!
In this episode of Kids Under Construction, Donna Tetreault interviews Jessica Lahey. She is the New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Failure and has a new book out, The Addiction Inoculation. Lahey gives parents the foundation to better understand the roots of addiction and helps offer steps toward prevention. This work starts early in life. David Epstein, bestselling author of The Sports Gene and Range says this about Lahey's new book. “Hard and tremendously important conversations are at the core of The Addiction Inoculation. But thanks to Jessica Lahey’s wit, compassion, and beautiful writing, reading it feels like having those conversations with your most entertaining friend who also happens to be an expert in substance abuse research, education, and child development.”Listen in to this honest and important conversation.
