Really informative podcast from highly reputable physicians. Worth the listen!
Ok, so my hubby and I may both be physicians, but we are not pediatricians and things fall apart when we try to put out these baby/toddler fires. This podcast is great because 1) Drs Val and Phil keep me laughing and 2) there is actually useful pieces of advice to use right away. That Feb 2 “Toddler v Sibling” podcast with guest speaker Christy really helped us learn how to diffuse situations with our middle child and her jealousy feelings toward her little 2 year old brother. Oh and 3) I like t... more
I rarely leave reviews, but I really like how these two doctors break down the parenting process. After our first two kids, I thought I had this "parenting thing down," but with this third one I found I still have much to learn. This is a podcast that's in my rotation about things that didn't come up with my first two kids as well as some things that I needed reminding. Great job. Can't wait for more!
Parenting isn’t exactly a walk in the park and so many parenting resources tell you what to do but don’t commiserate with you. There’s something so refreshing about WNS? And Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Magcalas’ ability to provide insights while also making you feel like you’re not alone. They’re awesome.
You’ll find yourself laughing at the shock of recognition as we all march through this child rearing parade…. TOGETHER. Great podcast. Full recommendation!
Two pediatricians present the facts, and then they level with you from their own experiences as parents. This podcast is as funny as it is informative, and practical, too!
They have been answering some great questions from listeners, and bringing in guests with tons of awesome real world advice.
So nice to have a parenting podcast that manages to be down to earth, but with a strong foundation backed by evidence. I’ve gotten some little tips and tricks that I haven’t gotten from ANYone else, fr... more
Love two tired docs! Hope they get some sleep soon ☺️
