The “Amorphous” Fear: When kids sense a storm but don’t have a map. ⛈️🧭

When a family member is sick, we often think we’re protecting our kids by keeping the details vague. But as Abigail Gellene-Beaudoin, LCSW explains, kids are master “gap-fillers.”

They notice that Mom is acting different. They see that Dad is stressed. They feel the tension in the “Internal Weather” of the home, but without definitive information, they start to fill the blanks themselves—often with stories that are much scarier than the truth.

This is Anticipatory Grief. It doesn’t always look like sadness; it often looks like:
📍 Increased Opposition: A desperate search for control in a world that feels chaotic.
📍 Anxiety & Clinginess: Fear of what else might change.
📍 Acting Out: Externalizing the “amorphous” stress they can’t yet name.

Moving from Overwhelmed to Attuned means recognizing that their “behavior” is actually a request for information and security.

“They don’t get it.” 🛑

How many times have we said that about kids and grief? We think if they aren’t crying or asking “why” in the way an adult would, then they aren’t processing the loss.

But as Abigail Gellene-Beaudoin, LCSW explains in this clip, that is inherently false. Kids have immense emotional depth—it just looks different. It looks like opposition. It looks like clinginess. It looks like play.

When we minimize their grief, we miss the opportunity to be their Secure Base.

The word “Attention” in ADHD is actually a bit misleading. 🧠

As clinical experts, we know that ADHD isn’t just a deficit in attention—it’s a complex struggle with Executive Functioning. Think of these as the “management tools” of the brain. These tools help our kids with the essential tasks of daily life: getting started, making a plan, staying organized, and keeping track of time. Attention is just one small part of that toolkit.

I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Fox of Four Corners Psychological Services to dive into why traditional parenting “scripts” often fail kids with ADHD. When we stop looking at it as a behavior problem and start looking at it as a struggle with the brain’s internal management system, our support becomes much more effective.

In this clip, we discuss:
✨ Why ADHD is an issue of controlling focus, not just a lack of it.
✨ The “Management Tools” of the brain (EF).
✨ Why hyper-focus on video games or reading is actually a symptom.

“I feel myself pulled to teach and to guide...” 📍🚗

Most of us were parented in a model that was almost entirely “Parent-Directed.” Our dads were the teachers and the providers. Now, the “Modern Dad” shift is asking us to also be emotionally attuned playmates.

In this clip, Dr. Gabe Casher from and I discuss why you don’t have to choose one or the other.

Think of it like a bank account:
💰 Child-Directed Time: Making deposits into the relational account.
💸 Guidance/Discipline: Making a withdrawal.

When you spend time in their world—letting them lead the play—you are building the “Relational Wealth” needed to make the hard parts of parenting easier.

Is your child’s anxiety a bucket with a hole in it? 🪣🕳️

If you feel like you are answering the same questions over and over—and no matter how much information you give, your child is still anxious—you are likely dealing with Reassurance Seeking.

In this episode of Kids These Days, Dr. Eleanore Hall from and I dive into “Parental Accommodation.” These are the things we do (or stop doing) to help our kids feel better in the moment, but that unintentionally keep the anxiety cycle going. 🔄

Some common “Accommodation” traps:
🔹 Checking the locks/doors for them.
🔹 Avoiding certain restaurants or long drives.
🔹 Extending bedtime routines to 2 hours just to keep them calm.

We do this out of love and protection, but it’s time for an Inside-Out shift. To break the cycle, we have to stop filling the “leaky bucket” and start building their internal resilience.

Why does parenting stress turn into partner conflict? 🧠🌪️

Most of us try to fix our fights from the Outside-In. We argue about the schedule, the screen time, or the tone of voice. But as Allison Rimland, LPC, from explains in this clip, the cycle is actually driven from the Inside-Out.

The Anatomy of the Cycle:
📍 The Trigger: A child’s behavior activates your nervous system.
📍 The Wound: You feel alone, invisible, or like a failure.
📍 The Reaction: You get “snippy” or you “check out” to protect yourself.
📍 The Feedback Loop: Your partner senses your “threat” energy and reacts with their own survival strategy.

When you can name the cycle, you gain the power to break it. 🔄

Nothing triggers a “Human Doing” spiral like being late for a first practice. 🏉⏳

This weekend, it was my stepsons’ first rugby practice. I wanted everything to be perfect. I wanted us to be on time. And because we were running behind, my “Fixer” part took the wheel. I was rushing, I was spiraling, and I was definitely not “attuned.”

When my family told me to “just take a deep breath,” it actually made it worse. Why? Because it felt like they were trying to fix my feeling rather than holding it.

We do this to our kids all the time. When they’re anxious or upset, we rush in to “fix” the emotion so we can feel better. But our job isn’t to be “Human Fixers.” Our job is to be Human Beings who can tolerate the discomfort.

Try this shift: Instead of “Calm down,” try: “I know you’re anxious about getting there on time, and I am confident you will be okay.” It’s the difference between trying to stop the storm and being the Secure Base while it passes. 🔄⛈️

Assessment isn’t a label—it’s a lens. 🎁🧠

I know that the decision to pursue an ADHD assessment can feel heavy. Many parents hesitate because they don’t want their child to be “boxed in.” But as Dr. Stephanie Fox explains in this clip, an assessment is actually a gift.

It is a way of telling your child: “I see you. I want to understand how your unique brain works.”

When a child understands their own neurobiology, the “Why can’t I just do this?” narrative shifts into a “Now I know how to help myself” narrative. That is where true self-compassion begins. 🔄✨

“Being interested in their emotional lives?! What a crazy idea.” 🙄🤣

If you caught the sarcasm in Dr. Gabe Casher’s voice, you know exactly what we’re talking about. For previous generations, the “Dad bar” was often set at:
1️⃣ Bring home a paycheck.
2️⃣ Sit on the couch.

But the “Modern Dad” shift is asking for something much more “radical”: Actual emotional involvement. In this clip, Dr. Casher and I discuss the identity shift fathers are navigating today. It’s moving from being a “silent provider” to an “attuned participant.” It’s a transition that isn’t just good for the kids—it’s healing for the dads, too. 🔄✨

Resilience isn’t built in safety. It’s built in the stumble. 🌳🧗

We often think that being a “good parent” means preventing our child from feeling distress. But as Dr. Eleanore Hall explains, if we never let go of the “bike seat,” our kids never realize they already know how to ride.

Letting go is the most loving “U-Turn” you can make. It moves the focus from protecting them from the world to preparing them for it.

👇 Is there a “bike seat” you’re ready to let go of this week? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

The kids aren’t the problem. The cycle is. 🔄💔

Do you ever feel like you and your partner are on totally different teams when the kids start acting out? One of you gets loud, the other shuts down, and before you know it, you’re fighting about each other instead of the behavior.

I sat down with the brilliant Allison Rimland, LPC, to decode why we get “hooked” into these reactive cycles. The truth? It’s rarely about the kids—it’s about our own nervous systems trying to find safety.
