A parent describes her past year as “brutal” and lists a series of traumatic life events. “I am not okay,” she admits. She says she doesn’t have the energy to remain unruffled when dealing with her kids and feels that she is failing them. While this ... more
When our kids won't go with the flow of the day and seem to push back on everything, it's often because they're sitting on feelings they can't easily express. In this episode, Janet responds to a note from a parent whose nine-year-old son won't respo... more

I feel like this podcast has really gone downhill. She used to give some tangible tactics but now every episode is the same. “Have a respectful and authentic dialogue with your child.” Great, but that’s all it ever is, over and over. Just filling time between ads.
A great podcast the way Janet narrates is very captivating and sounds like a dear friend talking to you. I listened to her even before having my baby. I love listening to her daily as a daily affirmation:D
Thank you for the work you do.
This is the only parenting podcast I listen to. Janet has such a simple way of addressing complex topics and I really appreciate how she approaches everyone, the children and adults with respect. She also helps parents advocate for themselves in their relationships with their children, which is a little different than some other approaches I’ve seen with “gentle parenting.” I definitely recommend this podcast!
I came across Janet’s blog while searching for respectful authoritative parenting advice. After reading a few essays, I purchased the Master Class and started listening to the podcast. The way Janet reinforces parents’ confidence in relating to their children and handling specific situations is so helpful. Her presentation on the podcast is very casual and easy to absorb. I appreciate Janet’s work and the RIE approach. I find it refreshing compared to authoritarian advice from relatives. T... more
Found this podcast through a parent group. It’s not always applicable to highly active, strong willed kids. The host’s vocal fry voice is grating on my nervous system. Her voice is all over the place. The info is good but it takes forever to get to the point.
