  • I stumbled across Lisa on tik tok

    I was scrolling one day when Lisa’s words hit me like a train. The first message was the pool story, and it has stuck with me since.

    I have been listening to every podcast during all times I have available.

    Her parenting advice for me just makes sense.

    I have a 9 year old, 7 year old and a 20 month old. I have been trying to change the way I parent with Lisa’s tips and advice, so far helping and working!

  • Great concrete advice

    This is probably my favorite parenting podcast. And it’s so funny, because I adhere to the more “gentle parenting” philosophy and honestly Lisa instinctively follows a lot of it too. No yelling, no time outs, connect with the child through fun, show that you’re not perfect either, respect your kids, delight in their presence… it’s all very similar to what the authors I like advise, like Daniel Siegel.

    I really appreciate the advice, because a lot of the other parenting podcasts are a bit more ... more

  • All the values I was looking for in parenting

    As a brand new mom, I had certain values I wanted to abide by in my parenting, however I was unsure how to implement them, I was surprised to find Lisa had those same values and explains very well how to parent as a leader. I especially love that she specializes in teenagers, ensuring the knowledge that what you implement in your young kids is a result of how they will be as teens. I’m excited to keep up with bratbusters as I navigate motherhood

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Letting Your Child Control You
Q: What should you do about a child who interrupts meals or talks over others and won't listen to instructions?
Set a clear meal-time routine on the board with steps and a post-meal review; ignore the behavior when it violates the routine, and apply a measured consequence if rules are broken, keeping calm and steering the interaction back to leadership.
Stop Letting Your Child Control You
Q: How do you know what the right kind of discipline is for actions like attitude or disrespect?
Use the Free Behavior Board to set concrete, observable rules (e.g., avoid using attitude) and tie consequences to specific actions within a structured routine like meals; avoid reacting in the moment and focus on consistent application of the board.
Stop Letting Your Child Control You
Q: My nine-year-old has a pretty big ego. She feels like she knows everything she needs to and doesn't listen to advice. How do you address that with a child this age?
Avoid unsolicited advice and lectures; listen first, and when advising, do so only if asked. The goal is to listen to understand and offer guidance only when the child invites it, otherwise you risk reinforcing a know-it-all dynamic.
Why Reasoning With Toddlers Can Actually Backfire
Q: The next one is Nabila from the United States. I have a very strong-willed 35-month-old daughter who scratches, pinches, or hits when upset, especially at bedtime. We leave the room and create distance to avoid escalation, but is there a more effective approach?
Maintain a consistent approach and consider using the Behavior Board for older toddlers while ensuring you still supervise. When aggression happens, say no, remove your child from the situation, and then engage calmly after she's calmed down. Try not to discuss tantrums in the moment; reconnect after the emotion subsides and keep expectations clear.
Why Reasoning With Toddlers Can Actually Backfire
Q: The first one here is Wendy from the United States. Hi, I'm raising my 20-month-old boy in a bilingual Spanish English home. I noticed he gets really frustrated when he tries to communicate and then throws a fit. I switch between languages while correcting his behavior. To keep discipline clear, should I stick to just one language for rules? How can I best manage code switching when emotions are high?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all rule; discipline tends to work best when you're consistent, and you can use one language for discipline to keep it clear. It's more about the child's personality and consistency than the number of languages. Try sticking to one language for disciplinary moments to avoid confusion.
