    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!

  • Bit of a shift recently..

    I’ve enjoyed listening to the podcast for over a year now but in the last month or so I feel like we are hearing less of Kylie and a lot more of Dr. Justin. You captivated me with your back and forth conversations initially. As a fellow mum, I love hearing Kylie’s perspective just as much as Dr Justin’s words of wisdom.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Childcare, ELC, or Home? Making the Right Choice for Your Family
Q: What are your thoughts on ELCs versus childcare for my two-year-old?
Justin and Kylie discuss the connections between emotional needs and the adjustment to ELCs, advising that it may not be ideal for Claire's child, especially given her distress over separations.
Inside the New Social Media Ban for Aussie Kids [with Julie Inman Grant]
Q: Who's policing it and how?
That is my job as the regulator, and I've developed a compliance and enforcement strategy.
Inside the New Social Media Ban for Aussie Kids [with Julie Inman Grant]
Q: Can you step it out in really simple terms? What does it mean for parents and teenagers?
The whole idea is to take the pressure away from parents and the kids themselves and the onus of responsibility on keeping them off social media until the age of 16 falls squarely on the platforms.
Unplugging Childhood (Less Scrolling, More Living) — with Jean Twenge
Q: Why are we happier to have them in the living room or in their bedroom, staring at a screen rather than letting them go to the park or the beach or whatever down the road with their friends?
We've come to see the real world as really dangerous in an exaggerated way.
Unplugging Childhood (Less Scrolling, More Living) — with Jean Twenge
Q: Do you think that kids are ready at 16 to be given carte blanche, full access to everything that the social media environment throws at them?
No. So my rule about social media in the book is no social media until 16 or later.
