This month's Deep Dive series is about parenting through uncertainty. Listen to all of the episodes in the series with this Spotify playlist. “Information overload” is defined as the tipping point when the input of information exceeds an individual's capacity to process it all. When we begin to feel overwhelmed and stressed by the amount of information that is available, we can end up feeling more stressed and overwhelmed than knowledgeable. For parents, the urge to find certainty through online research—only to end up feeling even less certain—is particularly common. How can we make the constant availability of information, useful and otherwise, work for us rather than against? Amy and Margaret discuss: How "information overload" can reduce decision-making abilities Whether obsessive internet searching is the result, or cause, of low self-confidence in parents How to know your limits, and then set them Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Terese Glatz and Melissa A.

Every kid is afraid of something. Sometimes their fears make sense; sometimes their extreme anxiety over every ant that crosses their path can seem a little excessive. But our job isn't to make sure our kids never see ants; our job is to help them learn to navigate those feelings on their own. In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss: Why kids facing their fears is an appropriate part of their emotional development Why just our presence, when they're feeling fear, can be a great support How more anxious parents tend to create more fearful children—and what to do about it Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Lior Abramson et. al for Developmental Science: "The effects of parental presence on amygdala and mPFC activation during fear conditioning: An exploratory study" Dr. Cara Goodwin for Parenting Translator: "New Study Alert: Your Presence Matters More Than You Think" NYU Langone Health: "Proven Strategies for Anxious Parents Who May Pass Their Anxiety on to Their Children" Naître et Grandir: "Fear in Children" Canadian Paediatric Society: “Helping children deal with their fears” Butterfield, Moira: Everybody Feels...Scared!

Let's talk about the awkwardness of puberty. Things have changed since we were going through it, and most of us want to be much more open with our children than our parents are with us.  But how do we do that without confusing them further or embarrassing them?Today, we're joined by Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll-Bennett from the Puberty Podcast to discuss the importance of open communication, using accurate terminology, and teaching kids about consent. We also highlight the impact of social media on body image and self-perception during puberty, and the need for critical thinking and parental involvement. The modern puberty experience is unquestionably different, and this episode will help guide you through it.------Dr. Cara Natterson is a pediatrician, popular speaker, consultant, and New York Times bestselling author of multiple parenting and health books, including The Care and Keeping of You, a three-book series with more than six million copies in print, and Guy Stuff, the corollary for boys.

Is Santa Claus a fun holiday tradition or a harmful lie?Critics of Santa argue that using a fictional character to judge behavior and the idea of a naughty and nice list is not only ineffective, but moreover teaches children to behave only to avoid being on the naughty list. And this messaging may even have a negative impact on children in the longterm.Many parents are worried. So what does the research tell us? Does Santa encourage good behavior? Is it lying to encourage a belief in Santa? Will children be upset when they find out the truth? And can parents encourage children to believe for longer?Let's find out! ------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

Today, Dr. Cara Goodwin and Dr. Emily Edlynn discuss the concept of autonomy supportive parenting - a style of parenting based on the idea of three fundamental needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

No one should ever shame you for how you parent on Instagram. I have said it before and I will say it again—if you feel shamed then it is time to unfollow. Today we talk to Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, a licensed psychologist and mother of four, with a passion for parenting grounded in science and love to debunk the biggest Instagram myths and lies. We're going after whether screentime breaks your kids' brains (nope), whether you should make your kids say thank you (I still think so), Whether time outs are effective (yes) and the best way to potty train (no one knows). All of Dr. Goodwin's posts and advice are grounded in research and not pseudoscience like so many of the parenting influencers and coaches who are flooding your Instagram accounts. Follow Dr. Goodwin @parentingtranslatorAnd visit her website here. 

Nearly every parent has a moment when they say or do something and they wonder, "Oh my gosh, am I turning into my mother/father?" This particularly happens at times of stress or overwhelm, and it seems that we can't help but default to parenting in the same way our parents did when we are stressed out and overwhelmed.For some parents who don't want to repeat the mistakes of their own parents, this experience is beyond frustrating and they may feel desperate for any way to break this generational cycle.  So does research really find that you are destined to parent in the same way as your own parents?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

Tis the season to be bombarded with toy advertisements at every turn! Every influencer on social media, and every parenting blogger seems to have a gift guide with hundreds of potential gifts for children. It's overwhelming for us as parents to dig through all of this information and choose a reasonable number of gifts for our children. So this episode is a different kind of gift guide - one that actually helps you to understand the research behind toy quality and determine which toys might actually be beneficial for your child.------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

Playfulness, as we all know, is something that comes really easily and naturally to our children. It seems like they could turn any object into a toy. They can turn the most boring thing into a game, but it does not come so easily to us parents. Our lives are serious and stressful, and we often don't have the time or the capacity to be playful.It's hard to be playful when you're thinking about all the tragic world events that are going on right now, or when you're preoccupied by a work email, or even what's for dinner. So what can we we do to be there for our children, by being playful?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

This week's episode is on tongue ties, which seems like a very niche topic, but it's actually one of my most requested topics that I have on my platform.With a difficult parenting decision, medical professionals on this topic are likely to give parents different guidance based on their area of expertise, and they often leave the decision up to parents. So this leaves parents in a position where it's really important to understand the pros and cons of their decision and to make a really informed decision.I also wanted to address this topic because I couldn't find this research compiled anywhere else. So I really hope that this newsletter will help parents like myself who have faced this difficult decision.So what does the research on tongue ties tell us?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

Today is all about how to handle ungrateful children, and the research behind what is commonly called bratty or even spoiled behavior. So as many of us are spending increased time with extended family members over the holidays, We may be feeling dread or stress about our children showing a lack of gratitude, or as some of our older relatives may call it, bratty or spoiled behavior.For some reason, our children being ungrateful towards others, particularly older relatives, seems to be worse than when they are ungrateful with us in the comfort of our own home. So for example, my children occasionally refer to the meals I make for them as disgusting or gross, and it really, at this point, rarely fazes me.But if they did this to someone else, like an older relative, I would be mortified. So, it's often situations like this that make us wonder whether we are raising spoiled brats, even though we might hate that term, and feel desperate for a way to prevent this behavior. So let's dig into the research - why is ungrateful behavior so common in young children and how do we as parents respond to ungrateful behavior in a way that discourages it in the future?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

Have you ever worried that you may be too overprotective as a parent?Previous research has found that overprotective parenting is linked to anxiety in children, but researchers do not fully understand why this relationship exists. In a new study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, researchers examined whether emotional regulation skills might explain the relationship between overprotective parenting and anxiety.So what did they find?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, Ph.D., is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

This episode of Not Every Fight Ends at the Bell features Cara Goodwin, who is currently training to compete in the Bells of the Brawl 10 charity boxing event on October 12th, 2022. Cara started boxing in 2017 as an outlet during a stressful time in her life. She was originally drawn to Haymakers because it looked challenging and fun. More recently, Cara was inspired to compete after a friend's young daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric brain cancer.Cara has been training remotely between North Carolina and Massachusetts. She discusses the ups and downs of training, especially balancing it with work and family obligations, but says having a purpose makes her not want to quit. Her main motivation is raising money for pediatric cancer research, especially for her friend's daughter Emme who is battling choroid plexus carcinoma.Notable moments:(11:13) "If you have a cause that gives you purpose. You won't quit.”(12:19) "The amount of personal growth from it for me has been well worth the journey and then some in terms of just challenging myself to do things that I didn't know I could."(15:14) "You have an opportunity to make a difference. I think when people find out like you're actually fighting somebody else to raise funds, they're like, oh, you know, wow."(19:34) "It's you against you most of the time, which is another, another challenging aspect of it."(23:39) "I work really freaking hard. I do, like, every damn day I'm out there, like, regardless of how I'm feeling."(27:20) "My hope for Fight Night is just to enjoy it, to take it all in. We've worked so hard and now it's like at the pinnacle, and just trying to remember what I know, what I've learned."(29:51) "If you have a purpose behind this cause and have been impacted by cancer and you're also not afraid to commit to something that's going to be really challenging, but really, really rewarding. Do it."Resource Links:Donate to Cara GoodwinDonate to Haymakers for HopeFollow Haymakers on InstagramHaymakers for Hope is an official 501(c)(3) charity organization that gives you the opportunity to fight back against cancer.

Would you like to have a translator to make sense of all the parenting advice out there? Listen in to find out what some of the research is saying. The information we have access to can be overwhelming at times. How can we really process it all? My guest today does just that, she translates it all for us. What We Talked About: Finding reliable science-backed  resources for parents Did the global Pandemic affect our children's cognitive and emotional development How parents can help their children affected  with PTSD  How accommodating our children's fear is doing them a disservice What the research is saying about screen time for our young children Toilet and sleep training Things to Remember: “Parenting is the art of combining multiple sources of information and choosing what is best for your individual child and family.” “Sometimes research can be misinterpreted.” “The most effective for anxiety is validating their feelings and pushing them to face their fears and challenge themselves.”  “We don't want our children to live a life with absolutely no anxiety. That's not the real world.”  “We do know that screen time is correlated with a lot of negative child outcomes." “High-quality interactions between a child and a caregiver is better for a child's learning and development than screen time.” “Parent's mental health has a huge impact on children's well-being." - Dr. Cara Goodwin   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor

On today's episode, we're going to do a deep dive into the different sleep training methods, considering that recent high-quality studies have shown that sleep training is not just the strict "cry it out" method that some people might assume. Instead, researchers and experts now recommend a more gentle and gradual approach. Below are some of the sleep training methods we'll be discussing: Different sleep training methods Extinction "Cry it out Method" Modified extinction "intermittent responding" Camping out/parental presence Bedtime Feeding Sleep education/positive routines limitations of sleep research Is there a particular approach that works better than others?

Parents often hear about the dangers of screen time for children, but rarely does there seem to be a distinction among different types of screen time.  Every day research finds that infants and toddlers on average spend 10 to 45 minutes per day on touchscreen devices. Many apps on these devices claim to be educational, and some apps are even used as part of the curriculum in elementary schools and even in early childhood education centers. Yet apps for young children are largely unregulated, and the number of choices alone may be extremely overwhelming for parents.So does research find that young children can actually learn from this technology? Are apps more educational than TV shows or movies?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

As I enter the final stretch of my pregnancy, I'm asked again and again what I'm planning to name my baby and what I really wanna say to all those people who ask this incredibly sensitive question is that no matter what answer you provide, you're opening yourself up to unsolicited comments and criticism.The name that you choose for your child will go with them throughout life. And of course, this is a personal decision that's based on countless factors. For parents who feel stuck in this very important decision, it can help to have some research to turn to.

In this podcast and on my social media pages, I often discuss very controversial and sensitive subjects such as birth trauma and maternal morbidity. I've never used a trigger warning or a content warning on any of this material, and you might be wondering why. So my reasoning is not due to a lack of sensitivity, but rather is based in research.

The journey of parenting requires a unique approach for every family. Don't get discouraged by claims that there is one right way to raise a child; this is simply not true. Dr. Cara Goodwin, an experienced child psychologist, author, and mother, was amazed at the volume of misinformation shared online by self-proclaimed 'experts'. To combat this, she created the “Parenting Translator”- a source of trustworthy, science-based research and information on parenting and child development.  As a well-known voice in the online parenting world, we are super fortunate to have Cara join us to help us learn how to recognize pseudoscience, interpret research accurately, and use social media more strategically. Her message is clear: No single approach to parenting fits everyone, and we should be mindful of research that does not take individual differences into account.

I had planned to start with vegetable purees and then move to fruit and I stocked up on everything Gerber had to offer and I got my iPhone ready to record this big moment.

Kate Baer has always been a writer, and as soon as she became a mother, her blog and essays became about motherhood. Even with success, she felt boxed in, that people weren't respecting her work as literary. So she took a break for four years and started working on a novel - but then she started to cheat on that novel with poetry.That poetry has become a gift for mothers, art that makes us feel like we're not alone. It verbalizes a lot of the things we've been scared to say out loud because it's taboo or it seems like this isn't what a good mother would say. Today, Cara chats with Kate about her writing and motherhood journeys, and asks about some of her favorite poems.Kate Baer is the 3x New York Times bestselling author of What Kind Of Woman, I Hope This Finds You Well, & And Yet.

As parents, our short term goal is to get our children to listen to us and follow the rules and limits we set for our family. But our long-term goal is really to raise children who truly understand why we have created these rules and limits, and develop an internal motivation to be kind and to do the right thing.We want them to follow rules because they care about being a kind moral person, not just because they're scared or they might get in trouble. So how do we make sure we are working toward this long-term goal?

Ms. Rachel has become a household name for nearly every parent with a baby or toddler. Her YouTube channel, Songs for Littles- Toddler Learning Videos, has over 2.6 million subscribers and her videos have hundreds of millions of views. The woman behind the Ms. Rachel is Rachel Griffin Accurso, a preschool teacher and mother living in New York City. Her husband is a Broadway composer who helps to produce her YouTube channel. As she explained in a recent interview on the Today Show, she started the YouTube channel because her son did not speak his first word until nearly 3 years old and she could not find a television show that targeted language development to help him. Her website claims that her videos help “children learn to talk, learn letters, numbers, colors, animal sounds and more." On her website, she also states that her team works with speech language pathologists to “provide speech practice techniques on video for toddlers!” and she has a quote from a speech language pathologist saying that she uses “all of the right techniques.” Ms. Rachel isn't alone in creating “educational” shows for babies on YouTube. Little Baby Bum has 40.6 million subscribers and claims to “support cognitive development” in its show description. A similar channel called Super Simple Songs has 37 million subscribers and is described as being “created by a team of educators.” Hey Sensory Bear has 1.48 million subscribers and seems geared towards very young babies, as it features black-and-white and contrasting colors which are known to hold the attention of newborns.So is the marketing on these shows accurate? Can babies actually learn from a television show?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

The COVID 19 pandemic caused widespread disruptions across the world that led to financial strains, social isolation, and decreased support for many. These disruptions in turn led to increased stress in parents and caregivers and a mental health crisis among adults and children. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many parents and experts have raised concerns that the pandemic and all of its terrible side effects would also impact the development of children.And very slowly, a body of research is coming out that can address these concerns. So what is the research telling us? Did the pandemic cause subtle changes in development that children will eventually compensate? Or did it cause serious developmental delays that may ultimately result in more children meeting criteria for developmental disabilities, meaning conditions that emerge in childhood may result in lifelong impairments and functioning?Let's discuss.------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

ADHD in girls and women has been historically difficult to diagnose. According to today's guest Dr. Julia Schechter, "ADHD does tend to look different than boys with ADHD generally, but not always. They do seem to have more of those inattentive symptoms - things like trouble staying focused for longer periods of time, easily getting distracted, difficulty organizing. Inattentive girls, they might kind of get labeled as spacey or seem kind of really forgetful, just often appear overwhelmed."So what can we do about it?Dr. Julia Schechter is the co-director of the Duke Center for Girls and Women with ADHD.------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

One of my favorite things to do on my Parenting Translator platform is to debunk common parenting myths. Not only does it provide great conversation starters but it also shows why we need research. Although a lot of research backs up our observations as parents, some research helps us to see our own biases and misconceptions. Tune in for the three of the most common parenting myths and what the research actually finds on these topics.------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

If you are like me, you can't wait to get back to a routine after weeks of having no structure, eating too much, and relaxing a few too many family rules. Over winter break, even my 4-year-old said, “I can't wait to get back to school so I can be in a routine.” It is clear that both kids and parents seem to do best with some kind of routine or structure. So let's discuss the research behind routines. Why do routines matter? How do you create good routines and stick to them? What are some routines that are backed by research that you can start today?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

When I was a child, I fought frequently with my older brother. We were only 18 months apart and we would both tease each other mercilessly until one of us snapped. Because he was older, he was often the one who got blamed for the fighting. My mom would always say “Apologize to your sister this instant!” and he would eventually yell through gritted teeth “I'm sorry, YOU STUPID IDIOT!” This apology eventually became a family joke and we will still say it to each other to this day in jest. Yet, it raises the question of whether this type of disingenuous apology benefits anyone? Should we be asking our children to apologize when they don't really mean it? Does this type of prompted or “forced” apology actually make a difference? Yet, conversely, if we don't ask our children to apologize, how exactly do we teach them to acknowledge when they have hurt others, take responsibility, and learn from their mistakes?------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Cara Goodwin, licensed psychologist and parenting translator. Dr. Cara describes what it means to be a "parenting translator" and how she transitioned in to disseminating the current parenting research into digestible blog posts, social media posts, and newsletters for the average parent. We dive deep into the parenting style that has taken over social media - "gentle parenting". Dr. Cara defines what "gentle parenting is and what the research (and lack there of) says about gentle parenting. Dr. Cara describes strategies used in gentle parenting, what aspects of gentle parenting have been studied in the literature, and the outcomes of such strategies. Dr. Cara emphasizes that parenting is not one size fits all and that different children may need different parenting strategies. She also describes some misconceptions about parenting, as well as reduces the shame around not parenting "perfectly".Connect with Cara:IG: @parentingtranslatorTikTok: @parentingtranslatorWebsite: https://www.parentingtranslator.com/Sign up for Dr. Cara Goodwin's newsletter here!Ways to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Welcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughIntro/Outro Music:Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic LicenseSupport the show

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Cara Goodwin, founder of Parenting Translator. We discuss what research tells us about the influences of child care on child development, and potential variations in child outcomes based on the type of care children receive. More specifically, we discuss what research tells us about associations between group child care and/or a consistent babysitter and children's parental attachment relationships. We delve into more depth about the potential role of child care quality on children's development of attachments to caregivers, as well as parents, and the evidence regarding the role of having multiple attachment figures in young children's lives. Further, we discuss research demonstrating how parental sensitivity and satisfaction with one's work situation relates to the parent-child attachment relationship.  For more information on Dr. Cara Goodwin and Parenting Translator please visit https://www.parentingtranslator.com/ and on instagram: @parentingtranslator  For more information on Cooper please visit us on instagram @your_cooper and on-line at beta.yourcooper.com .

Today we are talking about toddlers - specifically toddler aggression, and even more specific to toddler hitting. We work with many families with toddlers and pre-schoolers to manage sleep challenges at those ages. Which also means we are dealing with families who are in the thick of toddler sleep regressions and behaviors that are new to both the child and parents - and hitting is often at the center of this. We heard Dr. Cara Goodwin on an episode of The Mom Room podcast with host Renee Reina - which brought up so many additional questions about toddler behaviour regressions and hitting, as so many of my clients are managing these difficult situations. So I am beyond thrilled to have Dr. Cara Goodwin, on today's episode - she is a mother of 3, licensed child psychologist, PhD and author - listen in to hear her expert opinion on this topic!
