  • interesting..

    This was such an interesting episode to listen to, especially the shift from seeing screen time as a discipline issue to understanding the deeper brain patterns behind it. I liked how the conversation balanced science with practical parenting strategies in a way that felt thoughtful and approachable.

  • So valuable

    This podcast has become so valuable and important to me. Dr. Becky makes me feel SO seen as a parent and it’s rare that I can finish an episode without being a little teary. Her topics cover just about everything in parenthood and even though my son is only one and half, I feel better prepared to parent him at all stages of his childhood. It’s also been incredibly healing for some parts of my own childhood that still hurt. Thank you, thank you ❤️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sex? After Kids? Tell Me More, Esther Perel - Revisit
Q: What practical steps can a couple take when they feel distant or overwhelmed by parenting demands?
Start by acknowledging how the relationship matters, then express that need clearly, take responsibility for one's own contributions, and invite the partner back into closeness with specific, non-blaming requests. Creating shared rituals and prioritizing time away together helps restore connection.
Sex? After Kids? Tell Me More, Esther Perel - Revisit
Q: Tell us about how parenting changes the couple's erotic energy and what couples can do to keep the spark alive.
Esther explains that when children come along, the energy shifts toward stability and the adults must deliberately preserve play, novelty, and connection. She suggests identifying and nurturing erotic energy through shared activities, open communication, and intentional moments of closeness rather than waiting for natural sparks to reappear.
You Are the Technology That Builds Your Child's Brain
Q: What are the themes you're seeing around raising kids in an AI world?
The themes center on attachment, the importance of friction in human relationships for secure development, the risk of artificial attachments that don't teach true social skills, and the need to design technology to augment rather than replace parental presence.
You Are the Technology That Builds Your Child's Brain
Q: Okay, can a parent be replaced by a machine?
Short answer, no. A robot cannot replace a parent because children need authentic human connection to learn to relate to others, regulate emotions, and navigate the human world.
Are You Pushing Your Kid or Managing Your Fear?
Q: What should I do after receiving a low grade to avoid overreacting and instead support my child's growth?
Take time to journal and reflect, separate your own triggers from your child's experience, and focus on a calm, collaborative discussion that centers on effort, strategies, and long-term learning instead of the grade itself.
