    How good is this duo? The best. I have a very deep feeling kid and honestly wouldn’t be the parent I am without Gen & Amy in my ear each week. They make things feel normal & give me strategies I never knew I needed. I look forward to listening every week.

  • Social Media and children.

    It would be interesting to hear Amy’s and other co hosts opinions about ‘Posting about your child/children on social media or not? And to Amy how she navigates the balance between privacy and connection and why this decision is different for everyone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"I Have A Hyperactive Child, Is This 'Normal'?"
Q: What should I look for to know if my child's movement is normal at this age?
The hosts suggest considering developmental norms, teacher feedback, and whether movement serves regulation; they stress that many behaviors can be typical and emphasize observing over diagnosing immediately, with practical steps like trying after-school activities or OT-informed strategies.
The Heartbreak Of Your Child Saying And Doing Hurtful Things
Q: What immediate steps can I take to help a seven‑year‑old calm down during an outburst?
Name the emotions, move close without judgment, set a quick safe boundary, then move to a calmer, private space for a brief, reflective chat when the child has settled.
Separation Anxiety, Meal Prepping, and "I Hate You Mum"
Q: Hi ladies, how do we support our kid without feeling like we're abandoning them, especially when separation anxiety shows up around daycare or preschool?
The hosts emphasize normal development, encourage validating the child's feelings, and suggest practical steps like left-behind rituals, pre-learned routines, and a steady, confident goodbye. They also highlight the caregiver's need for moments of respite and modeling healthy boundaries, which supports both attachment and independence.
Do 'Time Outs' Ever Actually Work?
Q: My son is seven and gets timeouts at school; what can I suggest to the school that respects his need to move while teaching accountability?
Consider proactive check-ins before lunch, opportunities for movement or walking with a teacher, and providing purposeful 'jobs' during lunch to channel energy. Focus on connection and skills-building rather than isolating him, and explore gradual exposure to regulation strategies.
Why Your Child 'Pushing Your Buttons' Is Not What You Think
Q: How can I stay calm in the moment when my child is backchatting or being rude, especially around homework?
Focus on regulating yourself first, use deep breathing, name the underlying feeling, and delay addressing the behavior until you're out of the peak moment, then have a calm conversation to set expectations.
