    This is the best parenting podcast I have found. Jon gives you bites sizes information to help you with your parenting that I have been following for two years now . His book is equally amazing, and I cannot recommend him enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Courage to Be Disliked (and Why Your Child Needs It) #77
Q: Hey, I'm a dad of a four-year-old, and I'm trying to do this whole validating feelings thing. But sometimes it feels like it just drags things out. When do you validate versus when you just make a thing happen?
Validation means acknowledging the feeling and the child's experience while still providing clear boundaries and taking the next necessary step, such as getting ready to leave, so the day can move forward without abandoning the child's emotions.
Stop Telling Kids “Don’t Be Bossy”; Do This Instead #73
Q: Is it bad that my kid kind of takes charge at the playground?
It's not bad at all; encourage her leadership but also teach her to recognize and include the needs of others in play.
Stop Telling Kids “Don’t Be Bossy”; Do This Instead #73
Q: What should I do if my daughter is being bossy with her friends?
Encourage her to check in with her friends before directing the game. Teach her the importance of collaboration and that leadership includes considering others' feelings.
What If ODD Is A Cry For Autonomy... #75
Q: Is there any way to stop from being the bad guy without losing all authority?
Reframe your mindset; you can hold boundaries while granting autonomy without feeling threatened by the child's reactions.
What If ODD Is A Cry For Autonomy... #75
Q: Do you have any tips for how I can support him and get him to follow the rules of not being able to touch and play with certain things?
Instead of strictly enforcing rules, find alternative activities that fulfill your child's need for stimulation and offer choices to redirect their behaviors.
