  • Play therapy

    I’m so grateful I came across your podcast. My son is 13. He is level 2 autism along with adhd, odd and pda. I never realized simple emojis were apart of play therapy my son and I did this here and there but now I’m going to make it part of our routine. Everything you said in the play therapy episode I felt and felt heard! Thank you for sharing

  • The ADHD episode is fantastic!!

    Dr. Sheryl brings so much warmth and steadiness to these topics. The ADHD in particular was super straightforward and helpful.

  • Needs more!

    I am a big fan of the Good Inside movement and listen to a lot of podcasts.

    I recently listened to the puberty and period podcast with high hopes and I was disappointed. I didn’t feel like any of the information was compelling and didn’t walk away with any practical guidance as the episode promised.

  • A Relief

    I enjoyed the first episode and really appreciated the honesty, and the suggestions as a mom of a 9 y/o boy. The “sprinkles of lessons” at dinner and the coming shoulder to shoulder with our growing up but not yet grown kids was really helpful. I also felt and heard the slowing down of things here, which I appreciate because I’m always thinking I have to handle things and it will be over, and I need these reminders that it’s a process - both their growth and mine.

  • Unclear

    I can’t tell if she’s helpful. I’ve listened to every episode and each time I can’t help but feel she doesn’t answer the question head on. I understand she’s teaching concepts on a more meta level but I just never emerge with an answer to what the caller asked.

Naming Feelings Through Nature, with 9-Year-Old Author Clay Vilhauer
Q: When you are, whether that's confused or you're mad or you're sad, do you go outside? Do you go to a special place in your house? What do you do with all your different feelings?
Clay says he takes his soccer ball outside into the big backyard and kicks it when he feels sad or mad.
Naming Feelings Through Nature, with 9-Year-Old Author Clay Vilhauer
Q: So have you ever had days like that, that feel kind of like half shadow and half light, or half good and half stormy?
Clay says it can happen when he wears a specific shirt, when he may say nice things and then not nice things or act kindly and then not act kindly.
Your Teenager Still Wants to Help You, They're Just Waiting to Be Asked
Q: Can you name one or two of those interesting findings that you share in the book? It made me smile and think about how these are constructs rather than universal rules.
One of the key findings is that in many cultures, adults welcome children into adult tasks and responsibilities rather than forcing them into a 'child world,' which fosters natural skill development and a sense of belonging. This approach contrasts with the modern tendency to micromanage and entertain, which can reduce kids' willingness to contribute. Another insight is that praise is relatively new and often ineffective long-term; instead, purpose and meaningful participation cultivate genuine self-esteem and motivation.
Your Kid Doesn't Need Fixing. They Need Witnessing.
Q: What is the role of witnessing in parenting older kids and teens?
Witnessing means being present with the child's emotions, providing a container for them to express themselves, and offering empathy rather than rushing to solve the problem.
Your Kid Doesn't Need Fixing. They Need Witnessing.
Q: How do you define worth in a way that parents can actually apply at home?
Worth is about treating your internal world as if it matters, acknowledging your feelings and values, which helps kids learn to do the same and build resilience.
