  • Perfect blend of comedy, love and discipline!

    So much of my parenting journey has been spent, “trying not to mess up”…give my kids good memories and lots of love, but don’t be a pushover. Sean does a great job of balancing the fun, love and the discipline needed for our children to grow to become healthy adults that will love us enough to come back and thank us later! Thank you Sean Donohue!

  • Great podcast for all of us

    We all grew up in a whole different world than our kids are growing up in now and I appreciate Sean’s perspective because he sees the kids for who they are and what they need. Not who we want and need them to be. I’m constantly getting new ideas and ways to speak to my son in a way I feel he listens.

  • Great podcast!

    Such incredible insight. My parents were great, but times and society has changed so much that we need different tools and tactics in order to raise well rounded children. I love Sean’s TikTok too, as it’s a daily reminder for me to listen and to work on my patience.

  • Life changing!

    Listening to these podcasts often have turned me from an extremely reactive parent to someone who thinks about their actions & consequences before reacting. I’m still not perfect but I no longer loathe myself for losing it at my children. My hubby has found them amazing too.. whenever one of us is having a particularly hard day we go for a walk & re listen to on of our favourite episodes. Thank you Sean! In your role playing you sounds exactly like our eldest son! It’s scary how similar! We felt... more
