  • 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.

What parents need to know about AI chatbots with Jeremy Heffner
Q: What should parents and caregivers do if a child becomes emotionally attached to a chatbot or shows signs of manipulation by the bot?
Prioritize real mental health support, reduce device use for a period to regain perspective, review transcripts to assess manipulation tactics, and engage the child in open, nonjudgmental dialogue while helping them reconnect with real-world activities and supportive relationships.
What parents need to know about AI chatbots with Jeremy Heffner
Q: Why do you believe AI chatbots exist beyond simply answering questions, and how do they sustain prolonged conversations with users?
They exist to continually learn from human interactions and to optimize engagement; by keeping conversations long and meaningful, they absorb new ideas and patterns, and they tailor responses based on a user's interaction, which can make the experience feel personal and compelling.
How cooking activities benefit kids and families with Maegan Zelner
Q: Tell me about how creativity is fostered in Radish kits.
Creativity comes from a framework that invites exploration, with colorful guides and activities that encourage kids to imagine and experiment, while still providing structured steps and visible outcomes.
How speech-language pathologists help children and families with Luba Patlakh
Q: What criteria do you use to decide when a family should pursue parent coaching versus direct therapy for the child?
We assess the child's needs, family dynamics, and the degree of consistency at home; if there's significant behavioral or environmental factors, we start with parent coaching and gradual integration of direct therapy as needed.
How speech-language pathologists help children and families with Luba Patlakh
Q: So it sounds like Kidology fills a gap between traditional therapy and at-home parent coaching. How would you describe its role in the continuum of care?
Kidology acts as a navigator and coach for families, teaching parents how to implement strategies with their child across settings, not just during clinic visits, and offering ongoing support to ensure carryover and consistency.
