In this episode, Jon explores why losing hits kids so hard—and why meltdowns over games are rarely about the game itself. Centered on the idea that “losing feels like a threat when a nervous system can’t predict what’s coming next,” he reframes sore ... more

I’ve found this podcast recently and am finding it so useful. Jon explains different concepts simply and I appreciate that he refers to experts and books we can then read up on. I came across him from the episode on highly sensitive kids and that episode was a game changer. I feel like the cover photo of the podcast doesn’t do him justice and initially put me off, to be honest. He sounds so different than what he looks like there.

What a lovely podcast. Quick, entertaining, moral, and brilliantly on point. I wish that every educator and parent could hear this.
I was a child therapist/MFT before having my own two boys. Boy, is it harder than I expected. Jon Fogel has the most amazing way of teaching me why I react or feel the way I do while I parent. He gives very practical strategies for how better to connect with my kids and help them grow into the amazing children they are meant to be - with my support and without my own baggage getting in the way…as much. Love this podcast so much and highly recommend it!
I have worked in early education for the past 10 years. However, I’m 6months into being a new mom. And the things I’ve learned in this podcast have changed my views and options across the board. I am so excited to have these tools in my tool box as my baby grows up. Thank you for this research, and the work you’ve done.
This is one of the best parenting podcasts I’ve come across. Practical tips for everyday parenting that is easily digestible and backed in science. Incredible work, found you on instagram and so grateful you have made this podcast!
