  • Love this!

    I binge these podcasts because they make me feel like I’m not the only mom dealing with this. They cover so many good topics but also explain the reason behind it. There is so much truth in these episodes and I absolutely love listening and putting into practice things that I’m learning. Raising 2 boys is better with this resource!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How spatial awareness affects kids with Meenal Agarwal
Q: How can you tell?
Agarwal says spatial awareness can interact with anxiety and other conditions rather than being wholly separate from them. She describes mapping a space visually before entering as a way to reduce overwhelm, and recommends real-world spatial experiences to help recalibrate.
How spatial awareness affects kids with Meenal Agarwal
Q: So for my listeners, can you just define spatial awareness, please?
Agarwal defines it as the brain's ability to sense and process where a person is in space in relation to themselves, other people, and their environment. She says it develops through life experiences and milestones.
How family-focused interventions benefit everyone with Mike Loverde
Q: What does a family-focused intervention look like?
Loverde first works with the family to understand the treatment process, align their approach, prepare supportive letters, anticipate objections and improve communication. The intervention follows, with continued family support afterward.
How family-focused interventions benefit everyone with Mike Loverde
Q: Do you have any idea why the field had moved away from family-focused interventions?
Loverde attributes the shift partly to treatment models that center the individual as a victim who must want help, and says treatment centers cannot bill for family services.
What you need to know about the newborn gut microbiome with Stephanie Culler
Q: If parents are shopping for a prebiotic or probiotic to support their newborn's gut health, what should they look out for?
Culler recommends choosing products with clinical validation and third-party analysis, and scrutinizing manufacturing practices and product quality.
