I love this podcast. I only started listening this year and I’m already deep into the back catalogue.
As a child psychologist, I really appreciate the thoughtful reflections, honesty and humour that Dr Billy and Dr Nick bring to every episode. They’ve somehow influenced both my professional thinking and my movie watchlist.
I’ve recommended the podcast to heaps of friends, many of whom don’t have kids either. Loved the Melbourne live show too. A very easy 5 stars.
This podcast has helped me be such a better parent. From connecting with my kids, regulating tricky emotions, picking up on cues early, and understanding dirge diversity of kids, it’s taught me practical things I have applied. And the boys have a good laugh along the way.
Thank you for sharing your time, research and vulnerabilities - you’re building better parents and communities to support all children
Incredible podcast for parents and caregivers.
The content once you get to it is useful & valuable, but the production value is poor, there is so much laughing and mumbled commentary.
It’s quite jarring to listen to. Shame as the quality of the advice is good

Hosts Billy Garvey, a developmental pediatrician, and Nick, a developing parent, discuss day-to-day parenting challenges—from managing emotions and routines to supporting neurodivergent kids—through accessible storytelling and film- or TV-scene lenses. Episodes consistently emphasize empathy, resilience, and real-world strategies that families can implement, while underscoring the importance of school partnerships, community resources, and caregiver self-care.
