Just because you are a doctor and have six children, it doesn’t mean that you know everything about parenting. ADHD is a real, lifelong disability. And the reason that so many accomplished & high functioning people are seeking referrals and help later in life is because they have been suffering for decades- real suffering!! And yes these are fit, healthy people with proper diets. Medication is not the only solution, it’s one option in a toolkit. Medications for conditions like ADHD or depression... more
I have listened to the podcast from the beginning and don’t
think I have missed an episode. The Coulsons are brilliant parenting role models, with sensible science-backed advice paired with vulnerability and real life experiences and discussions. Keeping the episodes short means you can listen each day without being overwhelmed trying to fit in lengthy discussions. Hugely relatable and I love the focus on reducing screen time.

Thank you for reminding me that saying no is okay, As a mum of a 14 year old without a mobile phone and an 11 year old not on Roblox, I am reminded at times that I’m the “world’s worst mum”. But listening to your podcast over the years, and having had the joy of meeting you in person, Justin has given me the strength to remember why I say no. Some days the battles are hard, and I don’t feel like the ally my kids want but I will always stand strong as the mum they NEED!

Reasoned and thoughtful advice given through laughter, stories and easy to understand explanations. I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year now. It has changed the way I parent and I now have amazing relationships with each of my kids and my husband despite the many dramas and inconsistencies of everyday life. Many thanks to Kylie and Justin, don’t stop doing what you’re doing!

The program centers on practical, research-informed parenting guidance for time-poor families, blending real-life stories with evidence-backed strategies. Episodes frequently tackle digital-age challenges (AI in schools, smartphone boundaries, online safety), mental health and emotional regulation, and parenting styles, all delivered with warmth, humor, and a focus on achievable everyday steps for caregivers and teachers. A notable strength is the balance between expert input and relatable parent anecdotes, plus a recurring emphasis on intentional, connected family life and democratic parenting decisions rather than punitive measures.
