Welcome to Parents Are the Answer. I'm your host Nicole Runyon.
Anxiety, depression, loneliness, and behavioral challenges have become increasingly common among this generation. At the same time, we've looked everywhere for answers: to therapists, schools, technology, medications, and experts.
But I believe we've overlooked the most important influence in a child's life. Parents.

Nicole opens the show with a direct look at the systems she believes are overmedicalizing childhood and under-supporting families. Less outsourcing, more ownership, and a stronger focus on what children need from their parents, not just from professionals.
About the Podcast
Welcome to Parents Are the Answer. I'm your host Nicole Runyon.
Anxiety, depression, loneliness, and behavioral challenges have become increasingly common among this generation. At the same time, we've looked everywhere for answers: to therapists, schools, technology, medications, and experts.
But I believe we've overlooked the most important influence in a child's life.
Parents.
Because you are the most powerfully positioned person to connect to your child!
Each week, we'll have honest conversations about parenting, child development, technology, mental health, education, and the cultural forces shaping today's kids. I'll challenge conventional wisdom, share practical strategies you can put into practice right away, and introduce you to experts and leaders who are committed to helping families thrive.
For more than two decades, I've worked with children, adolescents, and families as a psychotherapist. I've watched childhood change dramatically. And now I coach parents, because I believe that children get better faster when parents make changes to their environments.
If you're ready to lead your family with confidence, be an authoritative parent, raise resilient and independent children, and rediscover the influence you already have, you're in the right place.
I'm Nicole Runyon, and this is Parents Are the Answer.
Parents Are the Answer
Be an authoritative parent, raise resilient and independent children, and rediscover the influence you already have.
