Rebel Parenting with Ryan & Laura Dobson: Recent Episodes
Ryan Dobson
There are billions of parents in the world, yet we often feel like we’re alone. At Rebel Parenting, you’ll find honest, real advice from parents who are trying—and sometimes failing—just like you are. It’s practical, tangible and born from the real struggles parents face.
In this video, Ryan Dobson discusses the importance of deescalation as a crucial skill for navigating conflicts with children. He provides strategies for staying calm, using positive language, listening actively, validating feelings, offering options, and taking breaks to help defuse tensions and find resolutions. This video encourages parents to work on their deescalation skills in order to improve communication and strengthen relationships with their children.
In this video, Ryan Dobson discusses the importance of looking for context when trying to understand and build relationships with our children. By asking open-ended questions, validating their feelings, looking for patterns in their behavior, and seeking out additional resources, we can gain a deeper understanding of our children's actions and support them in developing healthy coping strategies. This video encourages parents to take the time to consider the context surrounding their children's behavior in order to show them love and support.
In this special edition of REBEL Parenting, Ryan is joined in the studio by his 10-year-old daughter, Luci, to discuss the new Wingfeather Saga animated series. Ryan also interviews the author, Andrew Peterson, and illustrator Chris Wall on set at the red carpet, premier in Nashville, TN.
In this video, we're going to discuss Rebel Parents: how they model good behavior & why other parents should follow their lead. Rebel parents are those who buck the norm and try to do things their own way. They're not afraid to speak their minds and they often set an example for other parents to follow. In this video, we're going to discuss why they're a force to be reckoned with and how you can learn from their example.
In this video, I'm sharing 8 reasons why it is more important to listen to your child than to talk to them.
Listening is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Not only does it help build a strong relationship with your child, but it also helps them to develop communication skills. By listening to your child, you can help them to feel understood and secure in their relationships.
So whether you're trying to solve a problem or just have a conversation, make sure to listen carefully! It may just be the best thing you can do for your child! In this video, I'm sharing 8 reasons why it is more important to listen to your child than to talk to them.

In this short video, I'm explaining why Rebel Parents value their spouse's input. This is an important message to share because it shows that we are not alone in our struggles and that there is help available. We all face unique challenges as parents, and it's important to have support and advice from those closest to us. That's why Rebel Parents value their spouse's input so much! As a married couple, we understand the importance of communication and collaboration, and we're here to help you through whatever Challenges you face as a parent. Thank you for watching!

Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”
When my children were young I was so ashamed of my parenting. It was such a dark place to be. Can you imagine how different my relationship with my kids is now that I see parenting as a reward! I want you to see parenting as a reward too, and one thing that helps me be a better parent, is REBEL Parents know, get to be good parents, they don’t have to be good parents.
Saturday, March 14 I got a call informing me that my contract job was being canceled due to the lockdown… It was 6 months before I got steady work again, and let me tell you since that time, I’ve never “HAD” to go to work again. I GET to go to work!! WOO!
So, how do you show this to your kids? Start by truly appreciating the time you have with your kids. I was at a friend’s house Saturday night watching the UFC fights. Lincoln came with me and was planning on spending the night with his friend. I left around 11:30pm. An hour later I got a text from Lincoln asking if I was “still up?” I knew what was coming. He wanted to be picked up. Now, I didn’t have to pick him up. He planned to spend the night, I was ready for bed, and it was 12 degrees out. Who wants to go out in that? ME! Of course I picked up my son at nearly 1:00 o-clock in the morning. Because, as soon as he gets his driver’s license, I’ll never get to do this again.
The time slips by so quickly. Try not to wast it. Go tell your kids how much you love them and how much you love being their parent.

On today's episode Ryan dives into the science of learning. When learning something new, often the process involves feeling and looking silly or foolish. When we avoid those feelings it halts our learning process. Our kids go through this all the time throughout childhood and adolescence. We can foster a lifetime of learning if we can teach ourselves and our children to embrace these feelings by example. The tool is board games. Don't miss this engaging episode.

What is God trying to do through your skin and bones? Spiritual director Tara Owens invites you to listen to your thoughts about your body in a way that draws you closer to God, calling you to explore how your spirituality is intimately tied to your physicality. Your body is not an inconvenience - - it is a place where you can meet the Holy Spirit in a new way.
Have you ever had an experience where you felt particularly aware of God? If God is real, and we are created in God's image, then it makes sense that our minds and bodies would be designed with the perceptive ability to sense and experience God. Scientists are now discovering ways that our bodies are designed to connect with God. Brain research shows that our brain systems are wired to enable us to have spiritual experiences. The spiritual circuits that are used in prayer or worship are also involved in developing compassion for others. Our bodies have actually been created to love God and serve our neighbors. Award-winning journalist Rob Moll chronicles the fascinating ways in which our brains and bodies interact with God and spiritual realities. He reports on neuroscience findings that show how our brains actually change and adapt when engaged in spiritual practices. We live longer, healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives when we cultivate the biological spiritual capacity that puts us in touch with God.
