Podcasts about gentle parenting

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:

Few words cut deeper for a parent than hearing your child say, “I hate you.” In the heat of the moment, it's easy to feel hurt, angry, or even tempted to pull away. But what if those words don't actually mean what they sound like? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester explore the deeper meaning behind those painful outbursts. Drawing on developmental science and research on emotional intelligence, they share how kids often use strong words when they're overwhelmed, disconnected, or lacking the language to express their true feelings. You'll hear:Why kids say “I hate you” — and what's really happening in their brains and heartsCommon parent reactions that can unintentionally add shame or distancePractical ways to stay calm, set boundaries, and respond with connectionHow to reassure your kids that your love is never conditionalEvery “I hate you” moment can become a doorway to deeper trust and connection.

Is gentle parenting officially over? After years of dominating parenting books and Instagram feeds, many moms and dads are embracing a new-old philosophy: “F Around and Find Out” parenting. Instead of constant negotiating, this approach leans into natural consequences, letting kids learn by doing (and sometimes failing). In this episode, we dig into why gentle parenting resonated, why some parents are moving on, and what it really means to balance empathy with boundaries.

Is Gentle parenting dissolving or evolving? For years, this approach to raising kids, built on empathy, respect, and emotional awareness, has been the go-to model for modern parents. But now, many moms and dads are asking: Does Gentle Parenting go too far?  No, many are saying it just isn't working. Without clear boundaries, can children truly learn responsiblity, resilience, and respect for authority?  If you've ever felt guilty for losing your patience or wondered if you're being too soft or too strict, this episode is for you. I'll explain the growing pushback against Gentle Parenting, the everyday struggles parents face trying to stay calm and patient, and why the pressure to 'always be gentle' can leave families feeling exhausted.  More importantly, you learn practical ways to keep the connection and compassion you love, while adding back the structure, firmness, and logical consequences kids need to thrive.  Gentle Parenting isn't collapsing; it's changing. Tune in and find out why the next chapter of parenting may be stronger than ever.    Read the full show notes with links here: Is Gentle Parenting Dissolving or Evolving?

Most parents would say, “Of course I love my child unconditionally.” But what if — without even realizing it — we sometimes make our kids feel like our love depends on their behavior, their grades, or how easy they are to parent? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, we (Kyle & Sara Wester) unpack 13 powerful insights from Alfie Kohn's book Unconditional Parenting. As we read and reflect on each one, you may find yourself thinking: “Oh wow, I didn't realize I was doing that.” You'll hear:The hidden ways we accidentally attach conditions to our love.Why these patterns shape how children see themselves and us.13 shifts that help kids grow up knowing our love is steady, even when they struggle. This episode isn't about blame or guilt. It's about uncovering the blind spots we all have and learning how to build a relationship where our children feel truly secure in our love, no matter what. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/are-you-loving-unconditionally-13-surprising-ways-we-put-strings-on-our-love. 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.

Are you clearing every obstacle out of your child's way? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack snow plow parenting—why it happens, how it holds kids back, and what to do instead. Snow plow parenting is when parents try to remove every challenge or discomfort from their child's path. While it often comes from love and fear, this approach can unintentionally rob kids of the resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive. Kyle and Sara share why parents fall into this trap, the long-term costs to children, and how to shift toward a healthier approach. You'll learn practical strategies for recognizing when you're “snow plowing,” scaffolding instead of rescuing, and coaching kids through life's challenges while still offering the support they need. Key Takeaways: Snow plow parenting means clearing obstacles to prevent failure or discomfort.While motivated by love, it can lead to anxiety and low confidence in kids.Children miss opportunities to build resilience and emotional intelligence when parents over-intervene.Recognizing when you're snow plowing is the first step to change.Coaching and scaffolding help children learn to solve problems at their own pace.Allowing small struggles is essential for long-term growth.Validating feelings—without rushing to fix—is a powerful parenting tool.Trusting children to handle challenges builds their confidence and independence. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/stop-snow-plow-parenting-build-resilient-confident-kids. 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.

In this episode of Anthony Thomas Podcast, I open up about a parenting mistake I made—and why I'm owning it.

Send us a textFor years, “gentle parenting” has been the go-to trend, but has it actually raised respectful, responsible kids—or just created entitlement and chaos in the home? In this episode, we dive into why “gentle parenting” is falling apart and why it's time for something different: FAFO parenting. We'll explore what Scripture says about discipline, boundaries, and raising children who know right from wrong. This isn't about harshness—it's about love that corrects, authority that protects, and parenting that doesn't cave to culture.

We take a look at the trend in gentle and conscious parenting to discuss where it stems from and whether it's effective. Most parents want to be gentle and self-aware, but is that enough and is there more to add to the conversation?

A viral trend called “FAFO parenting” is exploding on TikTok and even making headlines in the Wall Street Journal. Advocates say it’s the antidote to “soft” parenting — let kids fuss around and find out the hard way. But is this tough-love comeback really preparing kids for life or setting them up for harm? In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the hype, the dangers, and the research-backed alternative every parent needs to hear. In this episode: What FAFO (“Fuss Around and Find Out”) parenting actually looks like — and why it’s trending The three big claims FAFO parents make Why FAFO backfires The vital difference between natural consequences and manufactured hardships How “need-supportive parenting” builds resilience without breaking trust QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Discipline isn’t about hurting kids to prove a point. It’s about problem-solving so they can discover the lesson.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Wall Street Journal article on FAFO parenting (subscription required) Alfie Kohn, Punished by Rewards More parenting resources: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Resist the temptation to outsource learning to punishment.

What does it mean to raise a child who trusts themselves while also healing the parts of you that were never given that chance? In this conversation, I sit down with Sterna Suissa, parenting coach and trauma-informed educator, to explore how our own childhood experiences shape the way we show up as parents. We unpack the subtle ways control sneaks in, why respecting a child's “no” is the foundation for lifelong self-trust, and how to repair when we inevitably miss the mark. And this isn't just for parents! Even if you don't have kids, this is a deeply healing conversation about being human. Every single one of us was once a child, raised by people who made mistakes. Sterna's insights on boundaries, emotional safety, and self-trust will help you reflect on your own upbringing and begin to reparent yourself with more compassion.

Meghan and Miranda are heading out on a quick summer break, but not before getting ahead of everyone's favorite rumor. No, they didn't have a falling out. And if they ever do? Miranda promises a live couples therapy episode with all the messy details (you're welcome). Before they pack their bags, they dive into the viral debate over Gentle Parenting vs. FAFO Parenting, joined by columnist and mom-of-three Karol Markowicz for her unfiltered take. Also on the docket: Elizabeth Warren's eyebrow-raising endorsement of Zohran Mamdani Jim Acosta interviewing an AI-generated Parkland victim (yes, that really happened) Rumors swirling around Gayle King and Howard Stern's possible “retirements” And of course, they couldn't leave you without a little dose of Annabelle. Is the spirit of Lorraine Warren now haunting Matt Rife and Elton Castee? Meghan and Miranda absolutely think so. This one's a sendoff filled with hot takes, ghost gossip, and promises of chaos to come. See you in two weeks!

What's in a name? Turns out we've been debating that for a hot second. On the heels of a Wall Street Journal piece comparing “Gentle Parenting” with “FAFO Parenting” Tori and Gwenna discuss the difference (Is there one? *shrug*)They also discuss some visual and production changes upcoming for Childproof as the podcast enters its next era. Ever wondered why Childproof parted ways with our old production company?

We worry a lot about being the best possible parents for our kids...or at least trying not to mess up our children too much. In this conversation we discuss the pros and cons of what's commonly called "Gentle Parenting," and offer our personal - if imperfect - experiences as parents. 

Join Better Dad bulletin: https://better-dad-bulletin.beehiiv.com/subscribeSubscribe to the Dynamic Daddy YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DynamicDaddyThis week, we're diving into the calm, cuddly, no-yelling world of gentle parenting—and asking the real question: is it actually doable… or just social media fantasy?We trace its roots from 1950s attachment theory all the way to your TikTok feed in 2025, where it's all about empathy over punishment, and connection over correction. Sounds great on paper, right? But in real life—when you're sleep-deprived, stepping on LEGOs, and your toddler just screamed “NO!” for the 9th time—does it hold up?We get honest about the gap between theory and lived experience, why gentle parenting might be more of an overcorrection than a solution, and how it impacts emotional intelligence and boundary-setting in kids (and parents, honestly).

There's been a surge of gambling influencers on social media, with young people streaming their pokies sessions and big-ticket bets to hundreds of thousands of followers... but should we be worried about the impact on young viewers who can't even legally enter a casino? Plus, we're unpacking the latest "tough love" parenting trend and whether letting kids face harsh consequences without support is actually helpful or harmful.

Vanessa chats with "Spicy Ones" coach Mary Van Geffen for a conversation about what it really takes to parent strong-willed, defiant kids. Mary shares how her own journey—from being a spicy child herself to raising one—led her to become a gentle parenting coach.  They swap tips on how to stay calm, kind, and firm even on the days your child pushes all your buttons. You'll hear why separating your worth from your child's behavior is one of the most important things you can do as a mom, and how choosing to love your child unconditionally—even when they are hard to love—is actually a spiritual discipline. If you're raising a spicy one this is your reminder that you're not broken, your kid's not broken, and you're not alone! Mary has opened her Moms of Spicy Ones®️ group program back up.

We'll shift the lens from “my child is being mean” to “my child is missing a skill or struggling with a need”—and that shift changes everything.You'll hear how one simple principle—all feelings are allowed, but not all actions are—became a total game-changer for one mom I worked with. We'll explore what it looks like to hold firm boundaries without shame or yelling, and instead respond with tools that build your child's emotional regulation and confidence.You'll also learn about a favorite strategy called “Bugs and Wishes,” which helps kids say what's bothering them without name-calling, aggression, or defiance. And we'll talk about how to break free from the exhausting “cuckoo cycle” of commands and consequences, and step into something so much more sustainable.These are Positive Parenting Strategies that work—not just in the moment, but long-term. They help you raise respectful, emotionally healthy kids while also enjoying your role as a parent again.So if you're ready to bring more connection, cooperation, and calm into your home... press play.

Do you ever lie awake at night feeling like you're failing your children? You're not alone. Research shows a staggering 78% of mothers believe they aren't doing enough for their kids. But what if everything we've been told about perfect parenting is wrong?This episode delivers a revolutionary truth that might just set you free: according to Circle of Security research spanning decades and thousands of families, you only need to "get it right" about 30% of the time for your child to develop secure attachment. That's right—30% is an A+ in the parenting world. When I first learned this as a mother years ago, I literally wept with relief. After all the books, courses, and well-meaning advice about everything parents should do perfectly, discovering this 30% threshold felt like someone had finally released the pressure valve on impossible expectations.Even more fascinating, research from psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott on "the good enough mother" shows that our imperfections actually benefit our children. Just as trees grown without wind eventually topple because they never develop strong roots, children need the "wind" of manageable disappointments to build what I call their "struggle muscles." Your child's frustration tolerance and resilience grow stronger precisely because you aren't perfect. As Dr. Jane Nelsen, co-founder of Positive Discipline, told me in a previous interview: "The one thing parents need to do differently is stop trying to be perfect."Ready to learn more about sustainable parenting that balances kindness with firmness?

Today we're joined by author Abigail Shrier to discuss her newest book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up." She dives into the unknown dangers of therapy for children, the differences between worry and anxiety, depression, and sadness and why therapy is different for adults. She also explains the dark motives that fuel some therapists and inevitably cause harm to the family unit as a whole. We discuss whether gentle parenting is a valid parenting style and the dangers of manipulative empathy. Abigail answers a few of the most pressing questions about mental health, such as: Is therapy the "responsible" thing to do? What is "social emotional learning," and why is it in our children's schools? And is the widespread use of antidepressants an example of social contagion?

As parents, how do we raise our kids to be resilient against life's inevitable hardships? Good Inside author Dr. Becky Kennedy shares her insights here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1163What We Discuss with Dr. Becky Kennedy:Boundaries are what parents tell kids they will do — not what kids must do. "If you're not off the couch by the time I get there, I'll pick you up" works better than threats or punishments that require kid compliance.Optimizing for happiness in childhood creates fragility in adulthood. Kids who avoid hard feelings never learn they can handle disappointment, jealousy, or failure — leaving them with a narrow range of emotions they feel capable managing.Parents have two jobs: setting boundaries and validating emotions. These aren't opposites — they work together. Set the limit, then acknowledge their feelings: "You really wish you could keep jumping on the couch.""Do nothing" is often the best parenting strategy. It's mindful restraint — choosing not to react in the moment when kids are upset. This prevents escalation and models emotional regulation better than immediate correction.Build confidence by letting kids struggle through puzzles, conflicts, and challenges. Tell them: "The best feeling is when you think you can't do something, then watch yourself make progress."
