  • Invaluable to every parent

    As a mom to 3 young kids and a therapist who works with kids, this is a must-listen for every parent (and anyone who works with kids). I have the pleasure of calling Leah a friend and colleague, and she is an absolute expert in all things parenting. Every episode is helpful to me. Not to mention, she truly cares about who she brings on the show because she wants parents listening to get the best information out there on topics that affect every parent.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Co-Regulate With Your Toddler (So It Actually Works) with Emma Girard
Q: What should a parent do if they're already at the end of their rope during a meltdown?
Pause to regulate yourself first, use deep breathing or a quick break if needed, and rely on the CARES steps to re-enter the moment with calm and clarity to support the child rather than escalate the situation.
How to Co-Regulate With Your Toddler (So It Actually Works) with Emma Girard
Q: All right. So how do we do it? Give us some strategies that the parents of the youngest kids here can use tonight. How are we going to co-regulate our kids when they can't do it for themselves?
Start with CARES: ensure you are regulated, then come in close to the child, assist with problem solving, reassure them you're there, validate the emotion, and keep a soothing, gentle tone to help them move from distress toward connection and the next activity.
How to Help Your Teen Choose a Career (Without Increasing Their Anxiety) with Jocelyn Abrams
Q: What are three things parents who want to support their kids on this journey of figuring out what they want to do?
Encourage exploration and avoid pressure, focus on identifying strengths and interests, and normalize a non-linear path by validating that trying different things helps reveal what they like and don't like.
Should I Be Concerned About My Child’s Reading? How To Know and What To Do with Dyanna Villesca
Q: What would you say to parents about the downsides of getting their child assessed for dyslexia?
There are essentially no downsides to assessment; understanding early if a child has dyslexia or specific reading needs allows for timely interventions, while reassurance can come if results are typical, and costs or access are manageable through school or public screening.
Should I Be Concerned About My Child’s Reading? How To Know and What To Do with Dyanna Villesca
Q: What are three signs you regularly see that would prompt seeking an intervention?
Three signs include persistent difficulty decoding and blending sounds, reliance on guessing instead of sounding out words, and when sight words don't become automatic or fluently recognized, all of which should prompt consideration of an evaluation.
