Podcasts about bringing up bebe

Dr. Amy Conrad is a board certified pediatrician and a working mom. She is the founder of Kinder Digital Pediatric Clinic and the host of the Ask Doctor Amy podcast. Dr. Amy is on a mission to help families raise healthy and happy kids by paving a more simple and natural path to parenting. We live in a culture of wanting to optimize each part of parenthood and childhood, but this often leads us to believe that we aren't doing enough. The goal of motherhood shouldn't be perfection, but rather a focus on what we are learning along the way. I know I'm grateful for the mistakes I've made as a mother because sometimes the benefit is learning from the things that didn't work. The mentality surrounding our thoughts of, "Am I doing enough?" tends to trickle down to our kids and affects them and their mental health as well. Learn why Dr. Amy advocates her "Do less, connect more" mantra. If you feel disconnected to your kids in any way, it's not too late to make changes. Mom Card Drawing of the Week: "Happiness is not in our circumstance, but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are." -John B.

We are so pleased to share an interview that Jess had with Pamela Druckerman, author of Bringing Up Bebe. This was the first (and only) parenting book Jess read during her pregnancy, and although the author has more than one child, the attitude of French parenting has shaped the way we parent. We chat about maintaining your identity after having a child, American expectations of mothers, and the pressures we tend to put on ourselves. It was absolutely fascinating to speak with this best-selling author, and we hope you all join us in reading the book over the summer so we can chat with her again at our book club!

Who would have thought I needed a sleep coach with no longer having babies and toddlers?  Well, with the move and Leilani having worry/concern for me leading up to my surgery, we started a habit of bed sharing, which first started in hotel stays.  This is when I reached out to none other than Whitney Weber, a certified sleep coach, for help in getting Leilani back into her own bed.  Whitney Weber Resources:Website: When Skies Are GreyFollow Whitney Weber in IG:    @whitney.weber6815 SLUMBERPODHatch Baby Rest Sound Machine, Night Light and Time-to-Rise Sign up for the next DAC Bootcamp Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IGAmy on Facebook Resources:AmyLedin.comLean Bodies Consulting (LBC)LBC University

Happy New Year, friend!    Joining me today on the show is mental health advocate, viral TED speaker, and author Hannah Brencher. Hannah is a dear friend of mine, and I'm thrilled to kick off the new year by sharing our conversation with you!   She shares with us the story of God leading her to show up for her life and how that inspired her latest book, Fighting Forward. In Fighting Forward Hannah cheers us on and encourages us to battle the lies we tell ourselves that hold us back from living out the life God wants for us.    We also talk about:   Taking back our stories from fear and how to practice courage and strength regularly Partnering with God to make changes for the better, not just for the sake of the calendar Digging deeper to look for God in new ways when we're experiencing pain and loss   I sincerely hope you walk away from this conversation with Hannah feeling empowered to fight for God's calling in your life this year.   Favorite quotes: 1. A lot of times I feel,  in the monotonous and the mundane, when we're getting to the edge we want to quit. That's when the breakthrough actually happens, you're actually closer than you think. 2. If I can look at the things that I'm doing as if all of this is progress, none of this is for naught, then I can't quit before I start to see the evidence of the actual moving and shaking of what God is doing. 3. The devil can't do much when you make the decision. Regardless, I am still going to keep showing up and that is not going to change the outcome of how I'm going to be here. 4. There are a lot of us sitting right now, waiting on something. And I think what's really important to know is that just because we've gone through these things, doesn't mean that you won't grieve, doesn't mean that you won't mourn. But at the same time, we cannot believe the lie that life is on pause because we are in this waiting or because we are suffering. Life is still very much happening all around us.   Great things we discussed:    1. Hannah Brencher Website   2.

Meredith and Kaytee are back with SO many books my fingers are cramped (this is becoming a theme…). You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: family presentation at homeschool group and going into a new book completely blind. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We’ve got five current reads this week, and they are sci-fi/fantasy heavy, which is WEIRD for us! Lots of strong opinions here! We’ve got an update for you on our Slow But Steady reads and what’s been happening in the past week. Also a short grammar lesson on “Swifties”. For our deep dive this week, we had a number of listeners (and real life friends) request our favorite parenting books. This will span everything from pregnancy/birth to infanthood to growing children to adding siblings. Plus one funny pick for when you just want to laugh it off. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands. We’ve got books “with caveats” this week. So, stay tuned and listen closely to see if they are actually right for you!

The best way to make your child miserable is to give them everything they want. - Jean Jacques Rousseau In today's episode we talked about teaching your kids patience, delayed gratification and laying out rules to kids.

Being a working mom can have plenty of “bumps” in the road (…see what I did there?) but your postpartum rights shouldn't be one of them. I absolutely loved chatting with attorney Emily Kearney on today's show! Emily has experience in postpartum rights in the workplace and speaking with her about our rights if we're returning to a secular workplace post-childbirth was fascinating. We also talked about her work in the area of broader disability rights, why she feels we're so indifferent about ableist discrimination, and why these are pro-life issues. This episode is a total powerhouse of legal, empowering goodness—enjoy! Emily also provided us with an INCREDIBLY generous handout on our rights as moms int he workplace.

My first request is for book recommendations for the two girls who I will be taking care of. I would like to bring them something when I arrive (a shameless bribe) and books are easy to transport. The older one is 10 and is an avid reader and has read the first Harry Potter book in English. She had some struggles, but reads about the same as an American 10 year old. I'd love to get her a chapter book so I can help out with her reading and so she can feel super accomplished. She's a huge Harry Potter fan and also likes graphic novels. The younger girl is almost 9 and reads more like a first grader. She is not a reader but will sometimes pick up graphic novels. I'd love to find something cool to strike up her interest in learning English since according to her mother and previous au pairs, she understands spoken English, but has a tough time reading and speaking it. She is much more active and likes sports and board games. My second request should be easy. I'd love some books to get me psyched up for the big move. Ideally, a fish out of water story set in Paris, either fiction or non fiction is fine. I loved Paris for One and Bringing Up Bebe and Me Talk Pretty One Day. I found Paris to the Moon a little tedious and My Life in France is already on my list. My favorite books are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Station Eleven and The Bone Clocks. Thanks! --Jennie   2. Hi Jenn and Amanda! Love this show so much, my TBR grows exponentially after each episode. I'm looking for some book recommendations for my younger sister, who is a bit of a reluctant reader but would like to read more because when she finds a book she she genuinely loves, she can't put it down or stop talking about it and I want to help nurture her inner book nerd. She likes historical fiction, and in particular books that follow a woman's life over a long period of time. She prefers books set far in the past, like 300 years plus to ancient history, and has expressed that she would like books that deal less with "mainstream western history." Two books she has really loved are The Red Tent by Anita Diamant and The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill, and we both loved chatting about these books together. I'd love to pass along some more similar suggestions to her so we can do sister read-a-longs and book chats. Thanks so very much! --Kate   3. Hello Get Booked, I've just finished the latest entry in Kristin Britain's Green Rider series and now have 3-4 long years to wait for the next one. I'm wondering if you can recommend me some 'woman goes on a quest/journey through a fantasy land' books to make the wait easier. (While I don't mind a bit of pain and suffering on the way, I'm not a fan of relentlessy grim stories.) I've already read everything by: Robin McKinley Tamora Pierce Tanya Huff Thanks in advance. --Marie   4. Hey ladies! I'm looking for fiction (or even nonfiction) recommendations for books involving scientists and adventure. I've read The Signature of All Things, and The Lost City of Z, I really enjoyed both of those. I have also read The Unseen World, books similar to that are also welcome. I love science and history so anything historical is also a bonus. Thanks so much, I love the podcast! --Kristy   5. My older brother is an enthusiastic reader and I read all the time. He still lives in our hometown in rural Wisconsin and I live in Boston. We've recently started building an adult relationship by talking about books. I want to introduce him to more diverse books. My brother's favorite books are To Kill a Mockingbird and Lonesome Dove, we read The Winter of Our Discontent together and he loved it. He takes his time reading, so it has to be something that will keep him interested over time. I want to expose him to more women/poc authors without alienating him. --Sarah   6. Hello Amanda and Jenn, I have always really enjoyed reading aloud (that is, as an adult reading aloud to other adults). With my parents, I have read the entire Harry Potter series and many Jasper Fforde books and found them especially enjoyable to share because of the cleverness and humor. However, I am now in a relationship with a man who not really a book person (and, yes, it took a lot for me to trust a man with no bookshelves in his home). He has indulged my interest in reading to him, but we have not found many books that appeal to him. We enjoyed The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd (one of my absolute favorites since I attended art school) and Daisy Fay and The Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg. I wanted to revisit Jasper Fforde with him but he is vehemently opposed to all things fantasy/sci fi (even magical realism). Any suggestions for books that would have that kind of smart Jasper Fforde humor but be more grounded in the real world? I actually submitted this request close to a year ago and (unless I missed it somehow), it has not appeared on the show. In that time, the relationship I mentioned has turned into an engagement. So, as I look forward to spending the rest of my life with this non-reader, I would really appreciate some brilliant inspirations for read-alouds that will help me share my love of books with him. Thanks, --Sasha   7. Hello Amanda and Jenn! I recently read Malinche by Laura Esquivel and, while I wasn't actually a big fan of it (her writing style just didn't do it for me), it left me hungry for more historical fiction that takes place in Mexico and Central America. I would love books that are Pre-Columbian, preferably written by people who are Latinx, and where the place/culture is a character. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! --Heidi   8. I recently finished an advanced degree and am starting my own business. Thanks to some major hits to my self-confidence and some pretty significant imposter syndrome, I'm finding myself hesitant to move forward. I need to feel inspired and need a major confidence boost--but I can't stand self-help books or anything that sounds like a self-help book. They make me roll my eyes and sometimes get thrown in disgust. I need to be inspired, not just told I should be inspired or fed a bunch of woo-woo bs. I hated Eat, Pray, Love with a passion hotter than a thousand suns, if that helps (and side note: I'm always glad to find those who felt the same way since at the time everyone else loved it). I'm open to fiction or non-fiction. Please help me find something to distract me from wondering who in the hell actually gave me me a law degree & licence and that will make me feel worthy. Thanks! (As another side note, I'm also a former bookseller who desperately misses being in the know, so I'm loving all of the Book Riot's podcasts!) --NoName Because of Reasons     Books Discussed Cast in Shadow by Michelle Sagara When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson Dud Avocado by Helen Dundy See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt Mountain of Light by Indu Sundaresan Tombs of Atuan by Ursula LeGuin Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne A Guide for the Perplexed by Dara Horn Four Souls by Louise Erdrich Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue David Sedaris, literally anything, who cares (Me Talk Pretty One Day) Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome Funny books flow chart from Slate Ines of My Soul by Isabel Allende, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden Servant of the Underworld (Obsidian & Blood series #1) by Aliette de Bodard (writing outside her own culture) Girl Up by Laura Bates Grit by Angela Duckworth
