• The Pornography Crisis: How We're Accidentally Destroying Our Kids' Ability to Connect

  Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/  In today's Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about a crisis that most parents don't want to discuss, but absolutely must - the digital destruction of childhood. The average age a child first encounters pornography online is 10 years old. Ten. And today's kids get less sunlight than prisoners do. We also tackle the controversial but essential topic of traditional gender roles in parenting. Why do kids misbehave 900% more in front of their mothers? And how are single parents supposed to navigate providing both structure and nurturing? This isn't about being "old-fashioned" - it's about understanding that our well-intentioned move away from traditional parenting roles may be contributing to the anxiety and fragility we see in kids today. What we discuss: Why Kids Today Get Less Sunlight Than Prisoners How Pornography Creates Drug-Like Effects on Developing Brains Why Tech Creators Won't Let Their Own Kids Use Social Media The Casino Algorithm: How Apps Are Designed to Addict Children Why Kids Misbehave 900% More in Front of Their Mothers How Single Parents Can Balance Structure and Nurturing The Rise of Phone-Free Schools and Digital Detox Movements How Gen Z is Returning to Traditional Christianity for Structure Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

• Why Team Sports Are Non-Negotiable for Building Resilient Kids

  Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/  Team sports aren't just about physical fitness - they're a masterclass in life preparation. In this Fitness Friday excerpt from my Mind Pump Podcast conversation, we dive into why putting your kids in team sports between ages 3-10 is absolutely critical for their development. We discuss how sports serve as a microcosm of life, teaching kids essential lessons about failure, merit-based performance, and working with difficult people. From learning that someone will always be better than you to discovering natural leadership qualities, sports provide irreplaceable real-world education that no classroom can replicate. Tune in to discover why the "everybody wins" mentality is robbing children of crucial life lessons and how modern parenting trends are creating a generation unprepared for real-world challenges. What we discuss: Why Team Sports Are Essential Between Ages 3-10 The Dangerous Rise of "Everybody Wins" Culture in Youth Sports How Sports Teach Kids That Someone Will Always Be Better Why Parents Are Ruining Sports by Praising Talent Over Effort The Problem with Moving Kids to "Easier" Teams How NIL Deals Are Destroying Loyalty in College Sports Why Sports Are Practice for the Game of Life The Lost Art of Sitting on the Bench and Supporting Teammates How to Use Sports to Build Natural Leadership Skills Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
