<h4> </h4> <p>It’s a headline that caught our attention – and likely yours. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, claims parenting can be hazardous to your health. Hazardous to your health due to the extreme stress the modern-day parent is experiencing. He believes the economic state of our nation, the influence of social media, the mental health crisis among youth, and personal parenting expectations are all contributing factors to growing stress and anxiety among parents.</p> <p>Simply put, Dr. Murthy believes parents and caregivers are facing more than they can handle with little support. In his advisory, he wrote, “Chasing these unreasonable expectations has left many families feeling exhausted, burned out, and perpetually behind.” But he says there are solutions, and he put out a call to action. He believes if people, parents, and communities act now, we can work together to lift each other’s burdens.</p> <p>Studio 5 Parenting Contributor <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/heather-johnson">Heather Johnson</a> shared her thoughts on the news.</p> <p><span data-teams="true"><span class="ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak" dir="ltr">To contact Heather for counseling, email [email protected], or visit<a id="menurct" class="fui-Link ___1rxvrpe f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f1h8hb77 f1lqvz6u f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" title="http://www.familyvolley.blogspot.com/" href="http://www.familyvolley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Link  www.familyvolley.blogspot.com"> </a><a href="https://www.familyvolley.blogspot.com">www.familyvolley.blogspot.com</a>.</span></span></p> <p><span data-teams="true"><span class="ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak" dir="ltr">Read more here: https://studio5.ksl.com/parenting-hazardous-health-expert-solutions/</span></span></p>

<h4> </h4> <p>There was the "Girl Boss," and now... there's the "Trad Wife." Gen Z is ditching one for the other.</p> <p>The term Girl Boss has circulated the internet for a few years. It's used to describe a woman who is successful and ambitious in her career, especially as a businesswoman or entrepreneur.  Now it appears the "Trad Wife," which is short for "Traditional Wife," is the new label to embrace, at least on social media. It describes a married woman who embraces traditional gender roles. Her full-time job is homemaking.

<p>It's the celebrity headline of the week: after reuniting and getting married, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck. It was a different ending for pro golfer Rory McIllroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, earlier this year.

Yet a month later, the couple dismissed the divorce, telling media "we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning."</p> <p>With this topic of reconciliation in the headlines lately... it brings up the question of success rate among couples who do reconnect.

<p>There is a phrase floating around, a parenting style that’s getting a lot of talk and attention. It’s gentle parenting. Some disagree with it altogether... others have gone all in.

<p>You know those girlfriends that are so easy to talk to? The kind that you could talk to for hours about everything and nothing at the same time? That's the premise behind the Studio 5 Hot Seat. We've invited friends of the show to have some quality girlfriend chatter with us, and that’s something <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/shara-park">Shara Park</a> is great at.</p> <p>Shara is a reporter and anchor, also a wife and mother. Her ambition and passion leads out in everything she does!</p> <p>What we discussed:</p> <ul> <li>Gen Z’ers say flirting is dying.

<p>There’s an art to feeling like you are enough and that you have enough.

<p>We're getting chatty on Studio 5 with good girlfriends - just for fun! Women you admire are sitting in the Studio 5 hot seat to discuss trendy, timely topics. It's the sort of conversation you would have during a girls night out.</p> <p><a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/courtney-rich">Courtney Rich</a> is a self-taught baker, and one of the best. It's clear by her 600,000 followers - and eager learners - on Instagram, that she's a great teacher, too! She's a wife and a mom to two, and we loved getting to chat with her.</p> <p>What we discussed:</p> <ul> <li>The state of movies today</li> <li>What we should be able to do, but just can't</li> <li>What are our 'over consumptions?'</li> </ul>

<p>We've been lightening things up as we've invited friends of the show to sit in the Studio 5 Hot Seat. It's girlfriend gab at its best. We've thrown current, trendy topics to women who have something to say.</p> <p><a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/megan-moore">Megan Moore</a> has been a hair stylist and beauty consultant for over 20 years. She's a wife, a mom to three, and an avid tennis play.

<p>Around here, we like a deep dive. We like to discuss topics that are meaningful and valuable. But, good girlfriend chatter often lands on the lighter side, which is where we're showing with this series. We're pulling out the Studio 5 Hot Seat and cueing up some just-for-fun conversation with women you know, love, and admire.</p> <p><a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/michelle-kaufusi">Mayor Michelle Kaufusi</a> is a Provo girl through and through, who made history as the city's first female mayor.

<p>Emotional heart-to-hearts with a good girlfriend can be exactly what the doctor ordered, but so can some light chitchat. Those conversations that are just talky, fun, and interesting, where the topics range from really anything and everything. That’s the inspiration behind our newest series, The Studio 5 Hot Seat. We’re asking women you admire to share their take on the kind of topics that are buzzy, current, and trendy.</p> <p>The first woman to take the hot seat is definitely “in the know.” She’s a voice for good in our community, a mom of six, and she’s got some great girlfriend vibes: <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/kristin-andrus">Kristin Andrus</a>.</p> <p>Topics we discussed:</p> <ul> <li>How to navigate the “Medium Friend”</li> <li>The surprising results to a poll on Kristin’s Instagram</li> <li>Does our culture not allow people to TRY?</li> </ul>

<p>This back-to-school week can feel like one giant heart squeeze. They say we get 18 summers with our children, and another one has already come and gone. It’s enough to make us moms weep. From first to second grade or high school to college, it can be sad to see the time move so quickly.</p> <p>Studio 5 Parenting Contributor <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/heather-johnson">Heather Johnson</a> helped us find our footing.

<p>At this point of summer, it's easy to fall back on screens and let the kids watch TV and movies more than we'd like them to. But, a good book could be motivation enough to keep your teens and tweens reading!</p> <p>Provo City Librarian <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/joella-bagshaw">Joella Bagshaw</a> shares seven books kids will love so much - they may even go screen free!</p> <p>Read more here: https://studio5.ksl.com/down-screen-up-good-read-books-for-tweens/</p>

<p>In today’s digital age, the question of when and how to introduce children to social media is a hot topic among parents.</p> <p>Celebrity couple Chip and Joanna Gaines have set a hard stance. “Our house rule is you get social media the summer before you go to college. So, we have that time to kind of work through things,” Joanna told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on <em>Today’</em>s 3<sup>rd</sup> hour.</p> <p>They aren’t alone. Actress and TV host Drew Barrymore says no to phones. She passionately expressed to her live studio audience, “It is amazing to have wanted so badly for my kids to love me and to love their environment and feel safe, and none of us want our children to resent us, and we don’t want to be their enemy. It is such a hard choice to say, I don’t care if you hate me for this. I don’t care if you’re mad at me for this. I know that I’m doing the right thing by you and I accept your anger.”</p> <p>The research supports the celebrities concerns too. The book, “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt has been at the center of this conversation. The author claims the decline of a play-based childhood and the rise of a phone-based childhood has contributed largely to the significant increase in anxiety and depression among young people. He advises parents to hold off on smartphones until high school and say no to social media until 16.</p> <p><strong>But what is the everyday mom doing with this somewhat new, concrete information?</strong></p> <p>In a recent roundtable discussion with three mothers we admire, friends of the show <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/kelly-jensen">Kelly Jensen</a>, <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/emily-bell-mccormick">Emily Bell McCormick</a>, and <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/shima-baughman">Shima Baughman</a> shared their experiences and perspectives on social media use and phone privileges in their homes.</p>

<p>A lot of couples think that in a healthy marriage, sexual intimacy should be easy.
