Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWelcome to the Turning Winds Podcast, where we highlight the voices and ideas that help families navigate teen challenges.This episode features Dr. Foster Cline, one of the most influential voices in modern parenting and child psychology. Dr. Cline is the co-founder of the world-renowned Love and Logic Institute, a bestselling author, and a sought-after speaker who has spent decades shaping how parents, educators, and clinicians connect with children. His work has guided millions of families across the globe and continues to stand as a trusted resource for raising resilient, responsible kids.At Turning Winds, we have seen how Dr. Cline’s philosophy transforms family dynamics. Parents arrive expecting to solve problems with stricter rules or tighter boundaries, but they quickly learn that real progress begins with curiosity and compassion. Dr. Cline explains why asking thoughtful questions like, “What’s your plan?” does more to build responsibility than lectures or commands. He shows how language matters and replacing “advice” with “observations” keeps conversations open rather than defensive.Listeners will hear Dr. Cline describe why teens rebel less against parents who show genuine interest in their lives and how creating systems of natural consequences, not punishments, allows kids to learn without feeling controlled. These approaches are not just theory. They are practical tools families can start using right away to reduce conflict, strengthen trust, and encourage growth.This conversation is also a reminder that seeking care is not a sign of failure but of strength. Turning Winds provides the environment where these ideas come to life every day... a place filled with structure, consistency, and love. Many teens who once resisted guidance later return to mentor or work alongside us, a reflection of the impact that both Turning Winds and Dr. Cline’s work continue to have.Join us for an episode with Dr. Foster Cline, a pioneer in child psychology and one of the most respected parenting experts in the world. His insights will leave you with a renewed sense of how curiosity, connection, and love can change everything for families.To learn more about Turning Winds, visit turningwinds.com or call 800-845-1380.
