Encouraged Parents, Encouraged Kids
Parenting can be tough. But you don’t have to go it alone.
Encouraged Parents, Encouraged Kids is brought to you by the Parent Encouragement Program (PEP), a nonprofit, positive parenting education organization that has provided valuable support to thousands of parents, teachers, grandparents and other caregivers since 1982.
PEP’s programs are based on research-tested best practices for positive parenting education and support. We offer some of this same information so that you can feel supported and encouraged anytime, anywhere, to get you through the tough times of parenting kids in today’s especially challenging world. We hope you’ll join us so that we can learn, laugh and sometimes even cry together as we join hands virtually to raise the next generation of young adults.

When Asking Kids to ‘Hang Up and Hang Out’ Isn’t Enough – with Devorah Heitner, PhD
We followed up with Dr. Devorah Heitner, a professional on helping children thrive in the age of technology, after appearing on a PEP webinar, Critical Topics in Parenting: Talking with Kids about Social Media and Mental Health. This podcast hits on the addictiveness of technology, social media’s influence on your child’s mental health, how to talk about technology, and best practices for sleep and 'mentoring over monitoring'.
Devorah is the author of Screenwise, and her new bestselling book, Growing Up in Public, was released in September 2023.
