    Ivy Insights

    The Because I Said So! podcast is truly amazing and a must-listen for parents seeking guidance and wisdom. Host John Rosemond is incredibly knowledgeable and his advice is spot on. I eagerly tune in every week and only wish that the episodes were longer!

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is John Rosemond's deep understanding of child-rearing. In an era where many parents are raising self-focused and entitled kids, John provides a refreshing perspective. He consistently emphasizes the responsibility that parents have to raise well-adjusted, emotionally resilient, and contributing members of society. He also sheds light on how the new parenting phenomenon is negatively impacting our culture. His insights provide hope and inspiration for parents who want to do right by their children.

    However, one downside of the podcast is that it seems to have shifted focus from practical, everyday tips/strategies for parents to more political and psychological discussions. While it's great to hear John's thoughts on these topics, some listeners may be looking for more actionable advice and strategies they can implement in their daily lives as parents. It would be beneficial if the podcast could strike a balance between these broader discussions and specific parenting tips.

    In conclusion, The Because I Said So! podcast with John Rosemond offers a much-needed dose of common sense parenting in our increasingly chaotic world. John's straightforward approach and timeless wisdom make him a trusted source of guidance for parents everywhere. Despite its current slight deviation from practical parenting tips, this podcast remains an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to raise responsible young adults and restore peace in their families.

By sharing my insights from inside the psychology profession and from my own creative musings, this episode proposes a reevaluation of parenting norms and mental health rhetoric.

    Welcome to the only podcast where hard truths about parenting are no-holds-barred. Today, I'm tackling a contentious narrative: Socialist Parenting, inspired by an article by Elizabeth Bastos in the Washington Post. I'm not merely unpacking this hot topic, but digging deep into the philosophies it purports, examining the concerning trend of "gentle parenting", and venturing my own critique. I'm challenging the widespread misconception that contemporary child discipline is about controlling children. Instead, I'm championing the need to nurture self-control within our children. Hear my argument for a balanced blend of freedom, responsibility, and accountability in parenting. I offer a critical perspective on parents' misguided desires to be liked by their children and how this cultural trend is reshaping parenting norms. I strongly believe that obedient children are happier - a notion that might raise a few eyebrows, but hold on, as I build my case for this belief. So, brace yourselves to delve into the crux of successful parenting, shattering some popular parenting myths along the way.ParentGuru: Better Parenting Starts Here Thousands of stressed parents are finding their way to better parenting with the help of ParentGuru.Parenting With Love and Leadership Weekly Substack newsletter by Parenting Expert John Rosemond.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    Have you ever stopped to question the narratives spun by mental health professionals or the sensationalism surrounding adoption? This episode of 'Because I Said So' invites you to do just that. I'm challenging the idea that adoption is an inherently traumatic experience, laden with existential crises and psychological pitfalls. With the story of my friend Pat, who discovered he was adopted at 19 and reacted with nonchalance, I challenge this sensationalized narrative and question if it's a mere invention by mental health professionals to create a cash stream.I also explore the adoption specialist cabal, who often push narratives leading adoptive parents to feel guilty and inadequate. These narratives, such as 'bonding' with a biological mother's heartbeat, can negatively impact a child's behavior and trigger parental anxiety. Hear about the Romanian orphans adopted by American parents who thrived against the odds and debunk the theory that bonding must occur at birth. Stay tuned as I conclude with an invitation to join my mission - sparking a retro revolution in child-rearing. ParentGuru: Better Parenting Starts Here Thousands of stressed parents are finding their way to better parenting with the help of ParentGuru.Parenting With Love and Leadership Weekly Substack newsletter by Parenting Expert John Rosemond.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
