Lu Ngo: A Child’s Reflection on Parenting | Raising Parents #16

Talking about parenting, it is indeed a complex and challenging experience. We often discuss ways to improve our parenting skills, how to effectively resolve issues that arise with our children, and address many questions that parents have about raising children. However, have we ever considered looking at parenting through the perspective of a child?In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant was joined by Lu Ngo, host of the Happiness Science podcast, “Seroboost”, and the Wellbeing Science podcast, “Doing Well”, on the LMSL Team. Five years ago, Lu made the big decision to choose Melbourne as her second home, moving from Hanoi, Vietnam to pursue her Master's Degree in Project Management.With that background, Lu shared her perspective on her parents' parenting style and the challenges of traditional Southeast Asian upbringing, including emotional trauma caused by her parents' feelings toward each other. Lu emphasized the importance of working on oneself to become a good parent, especially in terms of dealing with past experiences and emotional trauma. They also agreed on how one's parenting style can affect future generations and stressed that parenting is not an easy task for both the parent and the child.Connect and visit Lu’s podcast show on Doing Well at https://www.youtube.com/@wellbeingsciencelabs549/ and SeroBoost at https://www.youtube.com/@happinesssciencelabs4082

Kantiana Taslim: Importance and Challenges of Children’s Sex Education | Raising Parents #13

Parents play a crucial role in preparing their children for the world and helping them grow with a good understanding of various situations, including sexual education. Sexual education may be a sensitive topic, but it is important to maintain open communication with children from an early age to provide them with accurate information and help them grow into responsible individuals. In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant is joined by Kantiana Taslim, a clinical psychologist from Indonesia. Kantiana practices at her clinic, Ohana Space, and covers a wide range of issues, including developmental issues in children, emotional issues in adolescents, and family issues that parents might seek help with. This week's episode is a bit different as Kantiana tried to get an initial understanding of sexual education from Dina. Kantiana then highlighted that in some cultures, particularly in Asia, sexual education is still considered as a taboo topic to discuss in public, even some people are still giggling when they talk about it. Afterward, Kantiana emphasized the importance of children learning about consent, healthy relationships, and gender identity, in addition to the biological aspects of sexuality. She also provided instances of situations and practices when children are involved in talk about sexual education.

Dr. Robert A Saul: Conscious Parenting | Raising Parents #10

How many of us have subconsciously set a standard of how your child should behave? If you have, chances are you’re not alone. Some parents have desires for their child’s life even before they’re born whether it's wanting your child to live a good life or to go to college when they get older. Conscious parenting aims to teach us to understand that our expectations may not be the reality. In this week’s episode our host, Dina Sargeant is joined by Pediatrician and author, Dr Robert A. Saul, who specializes in teaching parents to raise children to be a positive influence in society. He has studied and practiced his teachings for over 40 years, publishing four books on raising children. Dr. Saul talks about his previous work with children, professionally and personally, and how important it is to first be emotionally self-aware as an individual before being a parent. They talk about how allowing a child to be a child can create a healthy environment for growth, while also teaching them skills of mindfulness at an early age.
