In this episode of the Just Say Something Podcast, host Phil Clark sits down with Lynn Hooper, longtime parenting educator and program leader at Just Say Something, to discuss how parenting has evolved and what challenges families face today.
Lynn shares insight from decades of experience leading programs like Parenting Wisely, Back in Control, and Transparenting, which help parents build communication, set boundaries, and strengthen relationships at home. She explains how social media has transformed family life, why consistency and saying “no” matter, and how encouragement and praise can go a long way in helping teens thrive.
Phil and Lynn also talk about the importance of community support, free parenting classes, and how small changes, like family meals without phones, can make a big difference. It’s an honest, practical conversation for parents, caregivers, and anyone raising the next generation.
