22 september 2026 · 17 min
You finally found the words to explain what you need. Perhaps you even had to take a bit of time to work up the courage to say it... Lees meer
You thought you did it all right, and somehow the conversation still went sideways.
You're trying to connect, and he's defending himself. And suddenly you're talking about his feelings instead of what you were trying to say in the first place. 😅

#38 How Should Kids Use AI? A Parent's Guide by Age (Part 9)
12 augustus 2026 · 9 min
We've talked about the risks.
We've talked about the opportunities.
We've talked about what AI could change about school, work, thinking, relationships, and even the way our kids find meaning. Lees meerBut eventually, every parent gets to the same question:
Okay... so what do I actually do with my child?
The answer isn't the same for a 7-year-old as it is for a 13-year-old. And it shouldn't be.
In this final episode, I walk through how I'd introduce AI at different ages: when I'd stay close, when I'd start handing over more independence, what I'd want kids learning along the way, and what I'd protect fiercely outside of the technology.
Because I don't think the answer is to hide from AI. And I don't think it's to hand our kids a powerful tool and hope they figure it out.
There's a middle ground.
And if we've done this series right, you should finish this episode feeling a little less like you need to predict the future... and a lot more like you know how to parent through it.
🎥 This is Part 9 — the final episode of our free series, Raising Kids in the Age of AI.
If you've missed any of the previous episodes, I'd really recommend going back to the beginning. They build on each other and together, they're the conversation I wish every parent was having right now.

#37 What Parents Need To Do When Kids Start Using AI (Part 8)
12 augustus 2026 · 18 min
You can't watch every conversation your child has online.
And honestly, you shouldn't have to. Lees meerBut when the thing they're talking to starts to feel less like a tool and more like a relationship, the way we think about parenting it has to change.
So what should parents actually be doing? How do you give your child room to explore without simply handing them over to whatever technology decides to tell them? How do you protect them without hovering over every conversation? And how do you know when something is worth stepping in for?
In this episode, let's get into the parenting approach I believe makes the most sense for this new world, one that sits somewhere between "ban it all" and "hope for the best."
🎥 This is Part 8 of the free 9-part series, Raising Kids in the Age of AI. If you haven't listened to the previous ones, make sure to go back!
If you're raising kids who are going to grow up with AI everywhere, this is a conversation worth having before they figure it all out without you.

What are we actually preparing our children for? If AI changes the way we work, achieve, and succeed, where will our children find purpose? And what should we be building into them now that will matter no matter how the future unfolds?That's the conversation we're having in this episode.

There's something many of us have slowly stopped teaching our kids... and it might matter far more in an AI world than it ever did before.
In this episode, let's unpack one simple question:
What should every child still know how to do, even if AI can do almost everything else?🎥 This is Part 6 of our free 9-part miniseries, Raising Kids in the Age of AI, where we're helping parents rethink education, success, and what it really means to prepare children for the world they're inheriting.

What if the biggest difference between AI helping your child...
or holding them back...
wasn't the technology at all? Lees meerWhat if it came down to HOW they use it?

#28 The Questions That Keep Parents Up At Night
24 juni 2026 · 6 min
She's standing at the kitchen counter, eyes welling up: "I'm the only kid in my whole grade without a phone."
And just like that, you're the villain in your kid's story. Lees meerIf you've ever felt your resolve crack in real time over something like this, this one's for you.
I break down exactly what's happening when your kid pulls out the big emotional artillery — and why agreeing with their feelings doesn't mean you have to cave on the rule.
You'll hear the exact words to say when your child pushes back, why phone at "middle school" (or whatever your line is) isn't cruel, it's a gift, and the one mindset shift that turns "I'm being mean" into "I'm being the parent she actually needs."This answer came straight from Ask Avital — built from years of real coaching conversations I had done, so you get the same straight talk and tough love at 11pm on a hard night, not just in a session. If this resonates, you can ask your own question (first 3 are free) at https://ask.hifam.ai. Hold the line, mama. She'll survive it. So will you. #askavital #hifam #parenting

#27 Parenting Advice When You Need It The Most
18 juni 2026 · 6 min
What happens when you combine over a decade of parenting coaching, thousands of coaching calls, and modern AI? Lees meer
You get Ask Avital — an AI trained on my parenting philosophy, methods, programs, and real-world coaching experience.
In this episode, I show you exactly how it works by testing it on a real parenting question: A mother discovers her 14-year-old secretly scrolling on his phone at 2AM after breaking a family agreement.
How should she respond? You'll hear the answer Ask Avital gave, how closely it matches what I would personally say, and why personalized parenting guidance matters so much more than generic internet advice.
Because while most parenting challenges look similar on the surface—screen time battles, sibling rivalry, homework struggles, disrespect, bedtime issues—every family is different.
That's why I created a tool that can help you think through your specific situation whenever you need it.

#26 Parenting With Boundaries AND Warmth (You don't have to choose)
27 mei 2026 · 25 min
You don't need to choose between being a loving parent and a firm one. Lees meer
So many parents leave gentle parenting behind… only to swing too far into coldness, constant correction, exhaustion, and guilt.
You start holding boundaries, but suddenly you feel harsh, disconnected, or emotionally distant from your child.
In this episode, I break down how to bring warmth back into your parenting — without becoming permissive, anxious, or emotionally overinvolved.
We'll talk about:
• Why warmth is a skill (not just a personality trait)
• The simple behaviors that instantly make children feel loved
• Why so many exhausted parents default to efficiency instead of connection
• The difference between secure attachment and obsession with "connection"
• How to create closeness without long bedtimes, endless special time, or burnout
• The parenting balance children actually need: warmth + structureAnd most importantly: You probably haven't lost connection with your child.
You just need to stop parenting from fear.If this resonates, share it with another parent who's trying to find that balance too.
And if you want deeper, unfiltered parenting guidance from me every week, subscribe to the Ask Avital newsletter at HiFam.com/newsletter — where I answer real parenting dilemmas with honest, practical advice. If you'd like your parenting question to be answered, you can send it to hello@hifam.com.

#25 You Are More Than Your Hormones!
20 mei 2026 · 23 min
What if one of the most "empowering" trends for women…
is actually making us feel more powerless? Lees meerA recent conversation with one of my students completely stopped me in my tracks.
She said: "I feel like a walking bag of hormones."And it opened up a much bigger conversation about modern hormone culture, cycle syncing, female identity, emotional resilience, and what young women are being taught about themselves.
Now to be clear: Hormones are real. PMS is real. Postpartum is real. Perimenopause is real.
But somewhere along the way, many women started absorbing the message that we are entirely at the mercy of our biology.
In this episode, I unpack:
- The rise of cycle syncing culture
- The good parts of hormonal awareness
- Where I think the conversation goes too far
- The mindset shift I desperately want young women to hear
- And why I believe women are far more powerful than this narrative suggestsThis is nuanced. It's compassionate. And it might challenge the way you think.
Stay until the end because the message I would give my own daughter is the most important part.

#59 When Your Child Falls Apart… and Your Marriage Feels One-Sided
18 november 2025 · 52 min
Your child was resilient… so why does it feel like it all disappeared overnight? In this livestream, I'm answering three real questions from our HiFam community — and each one touches a deep, modern pain point for parents. Lees meer
We're diving into: 💪
1. When your child suddenly loses their grit
Why an injury or big stressor can make kids regress (and why it's normal),
how resilience actually rebuilds through exposure — not protection,
what "10% empathy, 90% coaching" looks like in real life, and how to speak to your child's identity so they grow into the strong, capable person you know they can be. ❤️2. When you're doing EVERYTHING in the marriage
What to do when the childcare agreement you made before kids didn't match reality, how to renegotiate roles in a way that actually works,
Why competence requires space (yes, even if it gets messy),
Your real options when you're burning out, and how to see clearly whether to stay, restructure — or leave. 👵3. When your in-laws cause more stress than support
How to protect your children without creating unnecessary drama,
How to set boundaries that are firm but gracious,
Why respecting elders still matters in modern parenting, and how to de-escalate the emotional tornado that extended family can sometimes bring.If you've ever thought: "Why is my kid falling apart over every little thing?" "I can't keep carrying this household alone." or "My in-laws make everything harder — what do I DO?" …this episode is for you. 👇
Listen until the end for the mindset shifts that can help you lead your family with strength, clarity, and calm — even in imperfect circumstances.

#58 Why I'm Happy When Bad Things Happen To My Kids
3 november 2025 · 53 min
When something bad happens to my kids — a fight with a friend, a missed goal, a tough day — I don't rush to fix it. I'm actually… a little happy. 😬 Lees meer
Because this is where resilience is built. In the low-stakes moments of childhood, our kids get to practice what life will demand later: courage, recovery, and perspective.
This episode explores the idea of antifragility — the mindset that what doesn't kill us (or our kids) can truly make us stronger. When we stop over-protecting and start coaching, we raise children who can handle life with confidence. If you've ever wondered how to toughen your kids without hardening them — this one's for you.

#53 How to Reduce Kids' Screen Time Without Tears and Tantrums
30 september 2025 · 32 min
Want your kids to play for hours without begging for a device? That's exactly why I created Reclaim Play → https://reclaimplay.com/course. Because when kids are lit up by play, screens stop being the only exciting option. Lees meer
You don't just want kids who put down their devices — you want kids who feel truly alive without them. The laughter, the imagination, the spark that doesn't need a screen to survive. Yet, the hard truth is... if life at home feels dull, screens will always win.
That's why this episode isn't about policing devices — it's about creating a family culture so rich and magnetic that screens lose their grip. We'll peel back why kids (and parents) default to scrolling, what makes "just setting limits" fail every time, and how to make real life irresistible again.
Because the real question isn't how much screen time is too much… it's what are our kids living for instead?
