  • Thoughtful Parenting Advice & Tips

    I’ve been following Dr. Mona on Instagram for a while and as a new parent have found great comfort in all of the topics she covers. The podcast does a deeper dive for those of us who like more details and info. Her calm, reassuring voice is exactly what I need as a new mom. I also love that you can search the podcasts for topics that are pertinent to what you need to know for the stage or phase you’re in with your child. Truly my Google of knowledge when it comes to child health and development.... more

    I love this podcast and Dr. Amin’s social media content. It has been relatable and insightful during this season of my life. I would also love to hear more episodes with your husband because it has helped me to be more understanding, present, and observant of my family overall.

  • Actually useful

    I feel a lot of people start podcasts just as a marketing tool and don’t want to give away too much free information (understandable) and and as a result their podcast isn’t really worth listening to. Not so with this one. There’s a lot of great information in this podcast that makes it well worth listening to. I also love that it’s evidence-based.

  • One sided viewpoint on parenting and ethics

    I previously loved your show but as of recent, you’ve become so “progressive” that you’re not even sharing both sides of the subject at hand. If something is highly debated, like IVF and surrogacy, there are going to be strong arguments on both sides. You have your blinders on and are so focused on the desires of the parents that you fail to recognize the direct impact on the life of the child who is entitled to both a mother and father. And if you don’t agree with that, what about the children... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Revenge Is Addictive-Here’s How to Break the Cycle in Childhood Before it Begins
Q: How do early behaviors like hitting a sibling or lashing out reflect the roots of revenge in childhood?
Kimmel said perceived grievances activate the brain's pain network and can trigger reward circuitry when someone retaliates. This urge can appear in toddlers, and adults can help children learn safer ways to manage it.
Revenge Is Addictive-Here’s How to Break the Cycle in Childhood Before it Begins
Q: What made you passionate about studying revenge and how it works as a behavioral addiction?
Kimmel described being excluded and bullied after his family moved to a farm. After his dog was shot and his mailbox was blown up, he pursued his tormentors with a gun but stopped himself. He later became a lawyer and researcher, studying how revenge operates in the brain.
The Follow-Up: Baby Wearing
Q: When can a baby switch from facing the wearer to facing outward?
Brown says there is no set age. A baby needs complete head and neck control and must be able to clear the top of the carrier panel.
The Follow-Up: Baby Wearing
Q: What are the benefits of baby wearing?
Brown says it can make daily activities easier, support bonding and closeness for parents and family, reduce babies' crying, and help parents learn to read their babies' cues.
Milestones and Myths: The Truth About Tummy Time, Crawling, and More with a Pediatric Physical Therapist
Q: Is crawling a critical milestone or is the lack of crawling a red flag?
Schultz explains that not crawling alone is not necessarily a red flag. A child's overall development and any other delays or concerns matter, and there are other ways to build strength and sensory experiences.
