Host: Samantha Cieslinski Guest: Brittany Gallagher, LCSW | Founder of The Mom Chat Therapy & WellnessMotherhood changes everything — your schedule, your identity, your emotions, and sometimes, your sanity. Samantha sits down with Brittany Gallagher, licensed clinical social worker and founder of The Mom Chat Therapy & Wellness, to talk about the invisible load moms carry, the myth of “bouncing back,” and how to actually care for yourself while caring for everyone else.They share stories about marathon running, messy mornings, mom guilt, boundaries, and how mindfulness can make even the smallest rituals — like your $8 latte — a form of therapy.If you've ever felt like you're running on fumes, questioning your patience, or trying to find you again, this episode is a gentle reminder: you are not alone, and you are enough.

Even the most connected couples get caught in reactive cycles — especially when parenting. One partner's tone or decision sparks the other's trigger, and suddenly you're not just reacting to the kids… you're reacting to each other. In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack what really happens when partners become reactive in parenting. They share personal experiences, explore Dan Siegel's concept of the “window of tolerance,” and discuss how co-regulation helps partners calm and reconnect when emotions run high. You'll learn practical tools to slow escalation, recognize your body's warning signs, and shift from blame to curiosity — turning conflict into an opportunity for deeper connection.Because staying united as parents doesn't mean never getting triggered. It means learning how to come back together, again and again, with empathy, honesty, and repair. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/triggered-by-your-partner-how-to-stay-united-when-emotions-run-high Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Parenting a child who constantly melts down—even when you've tried every gentle parenting tip out there—can leave you exhausted and doubting yourself.You're doing your best to be calm and validating, yet you still feel like you're walking on eggshells. You're not alone. The truth is, gentle parenting isn't enough on its own—and understanding whycan completely change your family dynamic.Let's break down what gentle parenting gets right, what it misses, and how to help your child truly regulate and thrive. Learn more about why empathy without boundaries backfires, what “Regulate, Connect, Correct” really means, and how to shift from over-validation to true emotional safety.Why Doesn't Gentle Parenting Always Work?Gentle parenting promotes empathy, validation, and connection instead of harsh punishment. That's beautiful in theory—but many parents discover it's not enough in real life.Here's why: Validation alone doesn't calm a dysregulated brain.Kids may feel heard, but not necessarily safe.A dysregulated nervous system can't learn, connect, or cooperate.Empathy without boundaries often fuels anxiety and chaos.When kids stay stuck in big emotions, they become dependent on constant reassurance instead of learning self-regulation. That's when parents start feeling drained and walking on eggshells.

In this insightful episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester talk with psychologist Dr. Tamar Chansky, founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety and author of Freeing Your Child from Anxiety. Together they explore what anxiety really is, how it shows up in children, and how parents can respond with empathy and connection instead of fear. Dr. Chansky offers simple, science-based tools to help kids analyze their worries, practice gradual exposure to fears, and build confidence step by step. You'll learn how to create a safe space for conversations about anxiety, regulate your child's nervous system with calming techniques, and see anxiety not as an enemy—but as a messenger that guides growth. If your child worries often or struggles with big feelings, this conversation will equip you with practical ways to bring more calm, courage, and connection to your parenting. Where to find Dr. Tamar Chansky:www.tamarchansky.com@freeingyourmindwww.worrywisekids.orgView the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/helping-your-child-overcome-anxiety-with-dr-tamar-chansky Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

It's roots come from Alfred AdlerAdvocates promote its compassionate, respectful approach to child-rearing as an alternative to authoritarian or punitive parenting styles. While aspects of gentle parenting align with biblical calls for kindness, patience, and love, there are significant theological and biblical concerns that challenge some of its foundational assumptions. This article explores the principles of gentle parenting, the underlying views about human nature, and examines where it diverges from biblical truth from an evangelical perspective.The Principles of Gentle ParentingAt its core, gentle parenting emphasizes a few key principles:Connection Over Control: Gentle parenting prioritizes forming a strong emotional bond with the child over exerting control. It believes that a connected parent-child relationship is the foundation for healthy behavior, promoting cooperation rather than compliance based on fear.Empathy and Emotional Awareness: Gentle parenting encourages parents to understand and validate their children's emotions. The idea is that emotional intelligence and self-regulation come through modeling empathy, not through punishment or suppression of emotions.Positive Discipline: Gentle parenting replaces punitive measures (like spanking or time-outs) with positive discipline. Misbehavior is viewed as an opportunity to teach and guide rather than punish. Natural consequences and open communication are favored over strict rules or punishments.Respect for Autonomy: This philosophy treats children as autonomous individuals deserving of the same respect as adults. Children are given choices and involved in decision-making processes, even from a young age, to foster a sense of independence.Modeling Desired Behavior: Parents are encouraged to model the behaviors they wish to see in their children. Instead of disciplining through authority, parents demonstrate patience, kindness, and self-control, expecting their children to learn by example.Underlying Assumptions About Human NatureThe principles of gentle parenting rest on certain assumptions about human nature that, while appealing, often conflict with the Bible's teachings on humanity's fallen state and the need for discipline. Biblical parenting embraces the timeless truth of God's Word instead of the changing ideas of popular culture. When evaluating Gentle Parenting, be sure to do it through the lens of the Bible.1. Children: Inherently Good or Sinful?One of the main assumptions behind gentle parenting is that...

Once hailed as the more empathetic approach to raising children, gentle parenting is now facing pushback from exhausted parents who say the expectations are unrealistic. We're joined by Kayla Huszar, a mother who says gentle parenting “broke” her. Then, child psychiatrist Dr. Ashley Miller explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of gentle parenting and how to find a balanced approach that supports both a child's development and a parent's well-being.

We explore why toddlers hit, bite, and grab at playdates and how to respond without shame or panic. Did you know - these behaviors are VERY common stage in the early years of development?! Research shows that these behaviors are actually very common in early childhood. Studies find that between 26% and 70% of toddlers show some form of physical aggression — hitting, biting, pushing, or scratching — depending on how it's measured.  And in real-life parent reports, around 50–60% of children ages 1-3 hit or lash out at least occasionally when frustrated.So first off.. not need to think you are failing or raising a psychopath. When your child hits, spits, or scratches at a playdate, it can feel mortifying — but these moments are actually powerful teaching opportunities. In this episode, I'll share 3 Playdate Reset Tips, including:How to remember what really matters, How to teach your child the new behaviors in a way that will finally STICK.How to get the end results of more FUN and EASY playdates, without any amount of panic.Don't forget, we'd be honored to have you share this episode with a friend.

What is gentle parenting? We'll explain what this recent trend is...and why it isn't always the best...with Dr. Judy Ho, a licensed clinical therapist.

Joining me is Dr. Stephen Porges, one of the most influential voices in modern neuroscience and the creator of Polyvagal Theory, the framework that has transformed how we understand safety, connection, and emotional regulation.   Together we explore:   - How Polyvagal Theory emerged and how it builds upon attachment theory to explain our biological need for safety and connection. - The science behind our “gut feelings,” and how the body reflexively detects safety and threat in our environment. - Why hypersensitivities can cause us to misread others' intentions and what this reveals about our own physiological state. - Why thinking in circular patterns rather than cause-and-effect can transform how we interpret behavior. - Why so many parenting strategies fall flat when a child's nervous system is in a defensive state, and practical ways to reshape these moments to be more effective. - The hopeful truth that the nervous system is flexible and how “retuning” it can repair patterns of stress and disconnection.   Dr. Porges's groundbreaking research offers a powerful new lens for understanding the human condition, revealing how our nervous system shapes behavior and influences the way we relate to our children, our partners, and ourselves. At its core, it's a reminder that beneath all our words and actions lies a shared biological need to feel safe, seen, and connected.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Siggie Cohen — Child Development & Parenting Specialist — to talk all things discipline. The first thing we learned - discipline doesn't ACTUALLY mean punishment (and definitely not spanking). Dr. Siggie walks us through what discipline REALLY is, when it should begin (earlier than you think), and how to respond with clarity (not frustration) when your toddler tests the limits. We also get into how communication sets the tone for everything, a real-life example of disciplining a 5-year-old, and her thoughts on gentle parenting (+ how her approach differs).  Dr. Siggie leaves us with her biggest takeaways on raising disciplined, confident kids — and honestly, this one feels like a masterclass for anyone with toddlers or young kids!!!  LOVE YOU GUYS!

In this episode of Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester dive into the common strategy of removing phones as punishment and explore why it often backfires. They discuss how this approach can damage trust, block communication, and fail to teach the self-regulation kids really need.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   Why your child may not calm down, even when you lead with empathy and connection. How to redefine what it means for a strategy to “work” in the heat of the moment. The role of patience and presence when your child's nervous system just isn't ready to shift. Why successful co-regulation doesn't always mean a calm child. How to disengage without disconnecting—and why that can sometimes be the most effective approach. Practical ways to support yourself so you can stay regulated when your child isn't.   If you've ever tried "all the right things" and still found yourself stuck with a child who can't calm down, this episode will help you feel validated, supported, and grounded in what you can (and can't) control.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:
