  • Dip in and out- amazing!

    This is the best podcast that I didn’t know that I needed. These different subject podcasts are so relevant to anyone with preteens or teens to just dip in and out when you’re faced with a challenging situation, which lets be honest happens about five times a week with teenagers. Educational, relatable, engaging with presenters and guests that are nonjudgemental. A fresh perspective and a little coparent in your pocket!! Fantastic!!

  • Every parent should listen

    I have gained so many insights into being a parent, what my teens are going through and what they’re likely to go through. It’s reinforced my views but also given me a new perspective on what I could be doing differently. So many different subjects all handled in a very non judgmental and sensitive way. Thank you so much, every parent should listen to your podcasts.

Why Some Kids Stop Talking to Their Parents
Q: What do you think has changed in modern parenting that might be fueling estrangement?
There has been a rise in estrangements over the past several decades due to various factors including divorce, social media, and increasing individualism.
The Thing We All Need Most: Mattering
Q: So coming back to when we're dealing with the home and trying to support our kids and make them feel like they matter, how do we show our kids that they actually matter to us?
Show unconditional worth and love through minimizing criticism and prioritizing affection.
The Thing We All Need Most: Mattering
Q: But when you look at the world of teenagers and the way they're growing up now, socially, digitally, academically, what do you think is making that need to matter so much harder?
The adolescent years are particularly fragile as the need to matter is built around a sturdy sense of self, which becomes less sturdy when societal expectations weigh heavily.
Body image, and getting teens to do chores. Vintage
Q: Whenever I ask my child to do something around the house, he just says, why me? And claims that I don't ask the other kids to do these things. Should I keep a tally?
It's better to assign chores ahead of time rather than ambushing your child at the moment, as this often leads to resistance.
