Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Why Smart Kids Still Struggle With Studying: 4 Tips from Evan Weinberger on How to Help Your Child Study
Q: Evan, when people need some extra help with this, when parents realize that they don't know how to study exactly and they don't know how to guide their child, what is the best way for people to reach out to you?
The best way is to contact Staying Ahead of the Game through their office numbers or social channels; they offer coaching and tutoring focused on executive function, organization, time management, and study skills, and they also share timely tips via Instagram and their newsletter.
Why YOU Should Talk to Your Kids About Sex: PART 1 of Advice on Parenting and Age Appropriate Sex Talk With Melissa Goldberg Mintz

Yes. The experts agree that parents should initiate age-appropriate, honest conversations to normalize discussion of hard topics, establish the parent as a trusted resource, and reduce the risk of misinformation or unsafe situations.
How to Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth: Toothbrushing Tips with Dr. Robert Geiman
Q: What do you think about the electric toothbrushes that are being marketed to us a lot?
