Reflective Parenting Podcast by Curious Neuron
Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.You don’t snap at your kids because you’re a bad parent. You snap because your stress builds faster than your awareness, and no one ever taught you how to handle that.

- Personal Growth
The Reflective Parenting Club Podcast is exactly as it says, it makes us reflect on our own journey as parents. Cindy brings lots of ressources and connects us with great leaders specialized in their respective fields.
I highly recommend joining the club. I have been part of it for just 1 year and already the personal growth I have accomplished is felt all around in my relationships. I feel like I am better equipped to self-regulate and co-regulate with my kids AND my partner!

Canadaa year ago - Best parenting podcast based on actual science
Not only Cindy is incredibly good at talking and explaining complicated things but she brings on her own experience and gives good tricks on how to navigate the difficult and tricky role of a parent. In addition, as a scientist myself, I love the fact that she bases her talks on science and cites actual studies. Overall a 5/5 rating ♥️

United Statesa year ago - Thankful for this content
So thankful I found this podcast. I love that the focus is on me as the parent becoming a better person and less on how to parent my little one. I’m especially loving the move to reflective parenting and learning emotional regulation. I’m excited to learn this skill and become a better mama. Thank you for all you’re doing!
