Bruce Lipton


A sample of the hottest topics Dr. Mark discussed with Bruce:
1) how the flawed theory of evolution works against the well-being of families
2) why the virtue of cooperation is the key ingredient for healthy families
3) how the cells in our body organize as functional communities, and how families could
benefit from behaving like cells
4) how families need to know how to deal with adversity (like the coronavirus) in order to
save energy
5) why parents must shift their relationship with their partner to become more
harmonious
6) why evolution is naturally filled with “mistakes” and how that knowledge can prevent
children from sub-consciously thinking that they’re stupid
Bio
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., is a renowned cellular biologist, and a thought leader in the new
brain-science of epigenetics. His book, The Biology of Beliefs is revolutionizing our
understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on
our physical, mental and spiritual health. His other books, The Honeymoon Effect &
Spontaneous Evolution, focuses on how epigenetics can help our personal lives, or
family lives and the collective life of our species.

Description: https://www.ChallengingTeenageSons.com 

Behavior problems that parents experience with their tween and teen sons often happen because the parents have made no formal announcement that they expect their sons to become more responsible for their own well-being. This podcast highlights the need for rite of passage events for both teens and, separately, for their parents. This life-changing event acts as a signal that the role of the parents is going to change from provider, to educator - in the form of a mentor.

Because our culture does not promote rite of passages, Mark reveals how parents can initiate their son, and themselves, into new roles in the family dynamic.

Parents who force their teen sons to conform to the values of their home - without helping their sons discover their own, personal values - often find that their sons behave dis-respectfully by ignoring their authority and influence. This podcast teaches parents how to avoid this power struggle, and how to motivate their sons to cooperate more at home and in the community.

Although our teens often express themselves immaturely and dis-respectfully, it’s critical for parents to learn how to be calm and curious while their teen is communicating. Using mindfulness stress reduction techniques and by communicating effectively, you’ll stop trying to control your teen and be able to “contain” their anxiety.

Brain science explains why and how, young men are naturally motivated to develop the ability to explore the world around them. What appears as a behavior problem with a young man is often a normal and healthy drive to become more independent.

Parents learn that they need to identify how they’re going to skillfully use their authority, power and influence together. Using positive discipline as a unified team, is an effective way motivate teens, even when they display disruptive behavior.

It's not your fault that we live in a culture that doesn’t educate parents about how to best guide our sons as they navigate through the distractions of the electronic highway, in the form of digital dominance, social media, and consumer commercialism.

The digital age has made it more challenging than ever for parents and communities to focus the attention of our teens in ways that foster their healthy development as they move into young adulthood.

This podcast highlights the main forces that overturns the natural instinctive wisdom of parents and gives tips for overcoming these outside obstacles.

It’s time for me to interview you! Yes you! As teaching partners, I want to highlight YOU
as the relationship expert. It would be a great interview to having talk about the need for
parents to be more respectful and loving if they want to minimize the chances of having
children who are going to be challenging. We can discuss this some more, but I am
putting the bat in your hand and leading you to the plate. Parents need you and you
know it.
1) you have an expression you use when we teach: the strength of partnership is not …
-- Use your kids have a great relationship…what does that mean?
2) do you think children, especially the challenging ones, can be difficult on a
relationship – what perspective do you bring to your couples coaching
3) if so, why/how does that cause a rift with the parents and how can they overcome
that - what are some of the ways parents can move closer together, especially if they
have a CTS
4) when couples come to see you, what do you tell them when they feel like when their
moving away from their spouse or want to explore divorce – you can either have what
you want or the reasons why not…completion process
6) the dangers of “withholding” in relationship
7) what was it like for you to have a son – home was haven
8) our model combines personal growth and stress management - women renewing
themselves

how we work with our clients. Our "secret sauce" is our ability to look deeper into the

when changed, go far in creating lasting organizational success.
How does this statement relate to parenting? What are the deeper forces at play
in most families?

planning, awakening, accountability, transformation & integration

practices from their sons, and, ideally their spouses
-- how to use the communication skills you teach for parents to have Empowering
Conversations with their children
2) Better relationships between men and women from your perspective
