  • Inspires improvement & health in parenting

    I listen to a lot of parenting podcasts, and read a lot of books. This is by far the one I recommend most to others. I love the encouragement, grace, and facts that David & Sissy offer. They offer a balance that’s hard to find— they encourage connection and emotional attunement with your kids, but they also encourage parents to have boundaries and correct our kids when their behaviors are inappropriate. True experts with a wealth of experience and research that informs their practical tips. List... more

    This podcast has become one of my absolute favorites. David and Cissy offer such helpful topics and practical tools for guiding children toward healthy development. As gifted counselors, they don’t just equip you to support your kids, they gently help you grow in maturity along the way.

  • What an encouragement!

    RBG is one of my favorite podcasts. David and Sissy have been such a gift to me as a mom of three little boys. I have learned so much, both from their books and from this podcast over the last several years. But I have to say, there is something uniquely encouraging about hearing from them and their lovely guests weekly on a variety of topics. It’s often just the boost I need.
