Aly Pain and Shellee Howard discusse her journey from personal struggles with ADHD to empowering parents of teens, focusing on connection and understanding during pivotal years.
Highlights
🎓 Aly Pain’s background includes overcoming personal challenges, including ADHD and family issues.
💬 She emphasizes the need for parents to adapt their approach as children transition into teenagers.
🔄 The importance of asking open-ended questions rather than providing direct advice to teens.
🚀 Parents must recognize that college isn’t the only path to success and that many careers don’t require a degree.
📅 Setting boundaries and discussing expectations for older teens considering careers or further education.
🤝 Encouragement for parents to support their teens’ interests while maintaining structure and accountability.
🌍 Pain believes that by improving family relationships, parents can help change the world.
Key Insights
🔍 Understanding Teen Development: Parents must recognize that teens undergo significant brain changes, impacting their behavior and decision-making. This shift requires a different parenting approach focused on autonomy and emotional connection.
📖 Revising Generational Stories: Many parents hold outdated beliefs about education and success; encouraging exploration beyond traditional paths can alleviate pressure on teens and foster their individuality.
🌱 Promoting Independence: Allowing teens to explore careers or interests, such as social media influencing, requires careful negotiation of boundaries and responsibilities to foster independence while providing guidance.
💡 Effective Communication: Parents should focus on curiosity-driven questions that invite teens to express their thoughts and feelings, rather than imposing expectations, to build mutual respect and understanding.
🔄 Flexibility in Planning: If a teen shows disengagement with school, parents should evaluate their readiness for college and consider alternative paths or postponement rather than forcing a traditional route.
⚖️ Balancing Support and Accountability: Establishing a framework for accountability while supporting a teen’s ambitions allows for a healthy balance that fosters both independence and responsibility.
💖 Parenting with Compassion: Acknowledging the challenges of parenting teens and extending grace to both parents and teens during this transition can enhance relationships and reduce conflict.
About Aly: Growing up, Aly was the smart, fun girl on the outside and a frantic, anxious mess on the inside. She spent years healing the pain of dysfunctional family relationships, including eating disorders and a suicide attempt, to break the cycle raising her own sons. In 2006, Aly became a Certified Life Coach and Certified Relationship Systems Coach - one of only 70 people in Canada to hold both designations. Aly's passion is empowering parents to build healthy, respectful relationships with their teens without giving up or giving in. She's been featured in the New York Post, ABC Nightly News and the Rachael Ray Show.

In this insightful episode, Shellee Howard welcomes Professor Lindsey Cormack to discuss the importance of raising informed and engaged citizens. As a political science professor at Stevens Institute of Technology and author of the book *How to Raise a Citizen*, Lindsey shares her experiences and research on how parents can foster civic responsibility in their children. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including education, the role of social media, and practical steps for parents to prepare their children for active citizenship.
Key Takeaways:
1. Importance of Civic Education:
- Lindsey emphasizes the need for parents to step in where schools may fall short in providing comprehensive civic education. She highlights that most U.S. students receive limited education on government, often only in their senior year, which may not be sufficient for understanding and participating in the political system.
2. Raising Engaged Citizens:
- Lindsey’s book, *How to Raise a Citizen*, is aimed at parents, caregivers, and educators who want to equip their children with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate and influence the political system. The book also addresses the mental health and college admission benefits of being an informed and engaged citizen.
3. Starting the Conversation at Home:
- Lindsey suggests that parents initiate political discussions with their children by asking open-ended questions like, “What have you heard about this?” This approach helps avoid confrontations and encourages a healthy exchange of ideas, especially when dealing with information from social media platforms like TikTok.
4. Social Media and Political Content:
- The conversation highlights the challenge of dealing with political content on social media. Lindsey recommends that parents engage with their children by asking them to share what they’re seeing online and discussing it together, fostering critical thinking and a better understanding of different perspectives.
5. Preparing for College and Beyond:
- Parents are encouraged to help their children register to vote, understand the different levels of government, and read the U.S. Constitution to better prepare them for active citizenship and the college experience. These steps can also ease the transition to college by fostering socialization and involvement in community activities.
6. Practical Tips for Parents:
- Lindsey provides actionable advice for parents, such as helping their teens register to vote early, encouraging them to participate in local politics, and facilitating conversations about political processes. These efforts help build the skills needed for college success and lifelong civic engagement.
Closing Thoughts:
Shellee and Lindsey conclude the episode by encouraging parents to take an active role in their children’s civic education. By fostering an understanding of government and politics early on, parents can help their children become informed, engaged citizens who are well-prepared for college and beyond.
About Lindsey: Lindsey Cormack is an associate professor of Political Science and Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. She earned her PhD in Government from New York University and is raising a daughter on the Upper East Side. She currently serves as the Secretary for Community Board 8 in Manhattan. She created and maintains the digital database of all official Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters in the DCInbox Project. Her research has been published in Political Behavior, Congress & the Presidency, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Science Research and Methods, American Politics Research, Politics & Policy, Politics Groups & Identities, Politics & Gender, The Journal of Gender Studies, Energy Economics, The Legislative Scholar as well as in popular outlets including the New York Times, The Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight, ProPublica, Roll Call, The New York Post, The Conversation, NBC News, the LSE USCentre, The Hill, and more.

The three soft skills your teen needs after high school and how parents can help them learn them.
1) Owning their results
2) Rewriting their stories
3) Taming their emotions
When a teen can do this, I call it going from sidekick to hero. In the classic hero's journey, the hero is the only character in the story that has the power to change the ending.
Parents can help teens learn these skills by following the three Mentor Rules:
1) The Yoda Rule - let go of their results
2) The Dumbledore Rule - let them figure it out
3) The Haymitch Rule - have clear and consistent boundaries
Joey Mascio is a certified life coach who helps teens build self-confidence, manage their emotions, and achieve their goals. He has a Master’s in Education and a background as a professional comedian and stage performer, including being a character actor at the Disneyland Resort. During his seven years as a middle school teacher, he volunteered to be the teacher in the discipline office. His principal thought he was crazy (and she was right, but for different reasons). That’s where he started coaching teens on confidence, emotions, and goals. He started his own private coaching practice in 2020 and now runs that full time. He is the creator of the new gamified mindset training app for teens, Sidekick to Hero.

Shellee and Ann discuss:
Ask yourself: What does it mean to live your best life? Then build a plan to make it a realityA great college experience is possible at any price pointThe importance of looking at your budget for college when your kids are in middle school so you can plan accordinglyEvery student is eligible for scholarships and it's the parents job to help them find themAbout Ann:
Ann Garcia, aka The College Financial Lady, has helped thousands of families save millions of dollars on college. A fee-only Certified Financial Planner and managing partner of Independent Progressive Advisors, Ann specializes in helping families balance the desire to support their children’s dreams with the reality of funding their own lives. Her book How to Pay for College is available from bookstores everywhere; its companion online course is available now and has an affiliate option for podcast hosts.
Early in Ann’s career as a financial advisor, she heard the same two questions again and again from her clients. One group asked, “How can we possibly afford to save for college and retirement?” Another group asked, “How can I save for retirement when I’m paying so much on my student loans every month?” In working with families– including her own– to plan for college, Ann has learned that a good college plan is equal parts good parenting and good financial planning.
Ann has been featured in the New York Times, US News & World Report, CNN Money and countless other media. Ann and her husband, Bob, live in Portland, OR. Their twins will graduate debt-free from college next year.
