Since 1775, the Army Chaplain Corps has nurtured the soul of the Army Reserve by providing support, motivation, and emotional guidance to Soldiers and their families. Chaplains help families build resilience as they deal with unique challenges while also supporting Army Reserve leaders as they manage difficult decisions that ensure the safety and future of our country.

Army Reserve Chaplains help Soldiers develop a personal spiritual practice – whatever that may look like for them – and provide them with tools for support in times of stress and hardship. A holistically healthy Soldier is better able to use their unique skills and talents to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Some of the ways Chaplains make a difference include:

Providing marriage and family counseling
Serving as a staff chaplain at a medical facility
Becoming an instructor at one of several Officer service schools
Tending to the spiritual needs of every Soldier both at home and while on deployment

Stuart Shanker is renowned for using cutting-edge neuroscience to help children feel happy and think clearly by better regulating themselves. In his new book, Reframed, Shanker explores self-regulation in wider, social terms. Whereas his two previous books, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, were written for educators and parents, Reframed, the final book in the trilogy, unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the very lifeblood of Self-Reg, making it an accessible read for new Self-Reggers.

What is self-regging and how can it get you through COVID19 behaviors including:

Panic Buying, Hope, Comfort Foods, Care Mongerin, and much more

Only a society that embraces these principles and strives to practice them, argues Shanker, can become a truly just society. The paradigm revolution presented in Reframed not only helps us understand the harrowing time we are living through, but inspires a profound sense of hope for the future. Shanker shows us how to build a compassionate society, one mind at a time.

“What if there existed a book with a masterful integration of contemporary neuroscience, research on human development, educational theory, and philosophical thought? What if this knowledge was reinterpreted from the perspective of stories about children and what fosters or holds back their developmental potential? And what if the journey led to the conclusion that it is possible to create a genuinely just society? That book is in our hands now, and it is up to us as a society to make the choice to follow its wisdom.”

―Alan Fogel, Professor of Psychology Emeritus University of Utah and author of Body Sense: The Science and Practice of Embodied Self-Awareness (W. W. Norton, 2013))

“This is a beautiful book, brimming with hope. Through Self-Reg principles and vivid real-life examples, Shanker explains what a Blue Brain/Red Brain balance is and how parents, educators, and coaches can help young children and teens achieve it.”

―Barbara J. King, Department of Anthropology, College of William & Mary, Author of How Animals Grieve

“In Reframed: Self-Reg for a Just Society we join Stuart Shanker on his personal journey to redefine age-old questions related to the capacity of humans to regulate their behaviour.”

―Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Indiana University, Professor of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina, and originator of the Polyvagal Theory

Rethinking Your Teenager: Shifting from Control and Conflict to Structure and Nurture to Raise Accountable Young Adults

by Darby Fox

Publisher: Oxford University Press (January 15, 2020)

www.Darbyfox.com

The teenage years. . . parents fear this stage, dreading it even while watching their adorable toddlers explore the world. When it arrives, they try to control their teenager, in turn causing their teenager to push back more intensely. It’s a natural instinct on both sides: teenagers are changing in every way while trying to assert their independence, and parents are faced with the challenge of coming up with rules, expectations, and standards for behavior without a genuine understanding of what is happening. But the result of this pattern is a parent-child relationship defined by conflict and reactivity–a breeding ground for stress, anger, and anxiety, all of which reinforce those same cultural stereotypes and worst fears.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this book, family therapist Darby Fox challenges parents to redefine the goals of adolescence by reorienting their focus from what they want their child to be to on who they want their child to be. Darby not only equips parents with the insight to understand the changes taking place in their child’s brain and body and support their adolescent’s bid for independence but also offers an approach that allows parents to engage their adolescent in a relationship instead of struggling in an endless battle for control. The book is organized around a series of persistent myths about adolescence, each of which the author tears down with a combination of cutting edge neuroscience research, developmental psychology, and her own mix of clinical observations and experience raising four children.

Darby offers a new model for the parent-child relationship, encouraging parents to let go of the attempt to control their teenager and focus instead on creating mutual respect, providing structure and nurture, and encouraging independence in their developing teenager. She walks through the keys to combining structure and nurture and teaches every parent how to connect with their teen while holding them accountable for their behavior. If parents approach teen years with the same thoughtful preparation, sense of awe and wonder, and responsibility that they do the early childhood years, it can be an enjoyable and rewarding developmental stage that deepens, rather than damages, parent-child relationships.  

In an interview on your program Darby can discuss:

• How to create win/win situations when a teen becomes upset.

• How to decode the language of teenagers in order to gain respect.

• How to buck the stereotype that dealing with teens is a headache nobody wants.

• Giving your teen the tools they need to make smart decisions instead of controlling their decisions

• How to debunk the myths of adolescence that make it more difficult to actually handle your adolescent child

• Understanding what is happening in your teen’s mind and body beyond the basics

• How to handle online learning

• and much more!

“Darby Fox is a true champion of her field. Rethinking Your Teenager illuminates the complex lives of teenagers in an in-depth yet accessible way. 

This book is a gift not only for parents but for anyone seeking to connect with and understand teens.” 

—Kim Messier, wife of NHL hockey legend Mark Messier

“Darby Fox reconciles both the practical and spiritual aspects of what it means to be a parent in the 21st century. 

This is not a parenting book. This is a manual for a more uplifting future.” 

—Habib Sadeghi, DO, author of The Clarity Cleanse
