I am a big fan of your instagram account and podcast. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my email a while back and do an episode about the struggles our family has and I’m sure so many other families have.

It has made my relationship wit... more

Such a great episode that I needed to hear! Explained it so well that I can clearly understand and apply it. Love the way to both talk through the topic to each other makes it easy to digest. You guys honestly help me be a better parent, the parent I want to be for my kids. Thanks so much x
Apple Podcasts5Noah MDAustralia8 months ago - Permissive parenting
Transformative content in modernising parenting. Loved the last episode on permissive parenting. How does this sit and fit when the child and/or the parents are neurodiverse (ASD/ADHD)?

Thank you both for being so honest and open about your dialogue. I love that Scott can ask questions and also receive answers in such a calm manner with you. I also appreciate your real life experiences and hearing about hardships that you shared about being a kid and dealing with hard things. Thank you so much!
