  • This podcast is so useful!

    I’m so tired of the nonsense that uninformed people are posting online about parenting. This is really logical, well-informed advice. It’s not always what you “want to hear”, but it’s important.

  • Reminders for Life

    I have been listening to Ryan and Mike since the podcast began and have not missed an episode. For me it’s is life changing to learn that many of my child’s behaviors are typical and there ARE practical ways to handle them. I recommend this to all my adhd parent friends because thework they are doing to stand out for parents with evidence based treatments is essential! Otherwise parents are misled by coaches and opinions that don’t work and make us more hopeless. THANK YOU Ryan and Mike!

  • Great podcast

    This is the best parenting podcast I’ve found. (And I’ve tried a LOT.) I appreciate how they focus on evidence-based strategies rather than “what feels good.”
