  • I love Lisa but I don’t love the podcast

    I feel this podcast feels repetitive and as much as I value Amy’s input I do truly feel the constant need to state she is not a parent is not needed it is very obvious she is not a parent and I think it would be so much better to have a parent on board with Lisa instead. There are so many follow up questions that could be asked to Lisa that would add 1000x more value to the podcast but they are not asked. Even referring to the follow up questions in some of Lisa’s instagram posts would spark mor... more

  • Toxic Parenting Advice

    Run for the hills. Only listen to this podcast if you want your toddler to control your home. These toxic parenting ideas are why children today have anxiety and depression.

  • Thank you Lisa and Amy!!

    My oldest daughter is 4 and has a very strong personality (or is very dynamic as Lisa calls it). I also have a 2 1/2 year old boy and 8 month old girl so my days can feel chaotic to say the least. I initially completed the behavior board free course and felt very connected to her methods! After years of feeling like I was stuck between the pendulum of authoritative parenting and gentle parenting, in which one left me feeling terrible and the other just felt like SO MUCH unnecessary effort… Lisa’... more

  • My role model

    Lisa you're a great leader and I love learning from you. My mom wasn't always the best leader and I sometimes find myself getting emotional listening to your podcast! For example the pool story; or, when you told your own kids that monsters are really scared of you - it made me cry!

    It's helpful but also healing to hear this type of parenting being modeled! And my response to that is crying I guess.

    I'm looking forward to being that leader and fun parent now. Much love

  • Common Sense Parenting advice is hard to find.

    So grateful for this podcast! Knee deep in raising toddlers. Lisa has helped me realize what I’m doing well, what’s just part of normal childhood development, and where I need to step up my leadership. Thank y’all so much!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

End Defiance: Tactics for Strong-Willed 3-Year-Olds
Q: How long should a bedtime tantrum last if the child is determined to bring toys to bed?
Stay present calmly, ignore the demand while offering quiet support, and avoid giving in; if needed, read a book quietly in the room to model calm persistence without escalating the situation.
End Defiance: Tactics for Strong-Willed 3-Year-Olds
Q: What about giving too many choices to a three-year-old?
Limit daily decisions they truly don't need to make and let them choose only in low-stakes play; otherwise, they end up leading the day and becoming resistant when asked to follow rules.
End Defiance: Tactics for Strong-Willed 3-Year-Olds
Q: How do you handle a three-year-old who argues about every instruction?
You acknowledge the argument briefly, restate the rule clearly, and move to the Behaviour Board for a concrete consequence, avoiding extended dialogue that fuels the resistance.
End Defiance: Tactics for Strong-Willed 3-Year-Olds
Q: What kind of parenting traits or methods do you see when these kids are becoming more difficult at three?
The common pattern is more frequent big emotions and power struggles, but the core solution is to shift from endless reasoning to clear, consistent actions and time-limited consequences, while staying connected through play and respect.
Stop Reacting When Your Child Yells (& Do This Instead)
Q: Ray from the United States: Is there a consolidated Leadership Parenting crash course and how to introduce it to my husband who won't watch shorter videos?
Lisa points to a pool story as a concise illustrative example of discipline and connection. She recommends using the free Behaviour Board as an entry point and upgrading to courses if interested, with practical pathways to share with a partner.
