Podcasts about parent hacks

"It was clear to me that parents, especially moms, weren't opposed to talking to their kids about p*rn*graphy. Or listening to me talk about it. But they wanted guidance, resources, help and hope. They wanted someone on their team. I was ready to step up and be that person." -- Greta Eskridge This episode is tough but absolutely essential listening for parents of kids of all ages. The unfortunate reality is that our kids will be exposed to horrible things that we don't want them to see and we need to know what to do.  Author, speaking, podcaster and mom Greta Eskridge wants you to be prepared BEFORE it happens so you'll know how to react and what to say when confronted by this inevitable topic. Her newest book is called It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: A Parent's Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity, out now from Nelson Books, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, March 4, 2025. This must-have book equips parents to have age-appropriate, honest and hope-filled conversations about pornography with kids of any age so that they can help their children develop lifelong sexual integrity. In this book, Eskridge helps parents to navigate those tough conversations and connect with their children to create a safe space for conversation while tackling the toughest topics with confidence.   About the Author: Greta Eskridge is a second-generation homeschooling mom to four and wife of twenty-six years to Aaron. She is passionate about creating connection, preserving childhood and chasing adventure. Along with loving nature, books and coffee, Greta is the host of the popular Greta Eskridge Podcast, the author of Adventuring Together and 100 Days of Adventure, and she travels the country as a speaker, encouraging families to create connection in a disconnected world. Eskridge lives in sunny southern California with her artist husband, Aaron, and their four kids – one young adult and three teens Find Greta on her website: https://www.gretaeskridge.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maandpamodern Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maandpamodern/ Full disclosure: I was provided a copy of the book for review.  Please listen and subscribe to our podcast and leave a 5-star review so we can reach more parents like you!

Please I need some help, my 12 yr old son took a knife from the kitchen and was standing looking at me, when I went close to him to take it away he said I'm sorry. What happened before all this was that he was upset because every Sunday we let him pick a place to go to, park, restaurant, mall, etc and he also gets to eat fries which is his favorite, we'll the night before I checked his history on his tablet and found cartoons that he knows he can't watch became these cartoons show very inappropriate behaviors like beating people up and cursing, I have blocked the page so many times but somehow he manages to find it, so I took his phone and table away, that was the beginning of everything the next morning which is Sunday he kept asking for his tablet I said you can't use it yet, so he then started screaming, yelling and saying things like I want you to die mom, I'm leaving the house and never coming back and proceeded to get dressed and try to go out, I stopped him and he then started screaming more, I told him that we were not going out that Sunday because of his behavior and I say on the couch that's when I heard him in the kitchen getting something and I told him to come to the living room, that's when I saw he had the knife in his hands, he said he was sorry and he didn't want to go to jail, I told him what he did was very bad, he proceeded to scream and cry. He has a psychiatrist he sees once a month, he's on Sertraline 25mg 1x a day. I'm so devastated don't know what to do. I'm also scared don't know if he would attempt to hurt me, normally he's always saying he loves me and wants hugs from me. Don't know what to do please give me some advice. Normally he's loving kid. Lately he hass been defiant, he curses and just want to do what he wants, but I never seen him do this before, I'm so devastated, don't know what to think, say or do.   29:48 Helpful Tips for Unwanted Dietitian Visits I am going to a dietitian tomorrow and me and dietitians don't mix. I can't stand when people try to change my eating habits.

As autistics tend to be immature as they grow up.   43:33 Do you have any advice on the Nemechek protocol?   45:24 What to do When the School Takes Away Your Child's Biggest Reinforcer I'm working on this with the school right now, Quinton likes to use his hand drawings as reinforcements. He had one bad day, where he lost one of them, and he went a little extreme. That day they said no more pictures without giving him an alternate type of random reinforcement, they tried to say absolutely no pictures, it was a punishment, everyone in his circle disagreed with With a School said they wanted to do. I've been taking a lot of data; this happened a week ago last Friday.   46:47 I need tips on how to address a BCBA who is overworked. I have the most amazing RBT but the BCBA isn't giving enough attention to my sons programming. She is assigning goals but not being specific, so it leaves the RBT to interpret how the goal should be run instead of her modeling. During supervision little to no feedback is given even when we are looking at her for direction. Help!

Season 5 of the Pot Moms Podcast has a new twist on parenting and cannabis. In this week's episode, Kait and Natalie talk about having birthday parties as kids and now also what it's like throwing them for their own family. A recent survey of 2,000 parents with kids ages 3–12 found 73% say their youngsters are not so easy to impress. According to parents, kids expect their favorite foods (67%) and clowns or costumed characters (56%) for their birthday party, more so than inflatable playsets (44%) or laser tag (43%). As for party themes, 81% of parents receive a specific request from their kids, with unicorns (46%) rising to the top, and video game-themed (41%) birthdays among kids' popular picks. That's a lot of fucking pressure! What happened to a good old family meal at Applebee's?! Or your favorite Taco Tuesday? Tune in each week as they provide an open and honest perspective on cannabis-use as it relates to parenting, mental health, and life in general.

S2 Episode 29: The Importance of Adult Emotional Regulation In this episode, Tangie and Alicia chat about adult emotions. Poor or lack of sleep, hunger and stress can all create a way for emotions to feel overwhelming for adults. And throw kids in the mix and it can feel unbearable. The beautiful thing is kids watch and listen to everything we do, even when we're learning to manage our own adult emotions. We're not afraid to tell our kids how we feel and model how we manage emotions in healthy ways. Now we know when we're mindful of allowing space for our kids' emotions, they internalize the space and have access to it when others need space to express their emotions. Listen as we discuss: • Tangie Shares A Revelation She Has About Her Child's Ability To Regulate His Emotions • Alicia Shares A Time When She Held And Let Be The Emotions Of Her 5 Year Old Resources: How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self by Dr. Nicole LePera https://www.amazon.com/dp/006301209X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_350J0K5T6KXY18QP4HGB----Subscribe, rate, comment, tag, like and share!

Episode #076 — Hacking Parenting, Mindfully & Intentionally  Motherhood is wildly unpredictable, and it is easy to feel incompetent if your baby doesn’t behave the way the parenting books promised. How do you learn to live in the moment and accept that your experience is okay, even if it’s different from what the experts advertised? Can you parent in a mindful way, giving your intuition the same weight as what you are reading and hearing? Is there a way to hack parenting? When her son was born, Asha Dornfest felt abandoned by the experts. The experience of parenting wasn’t lining up with what she had read about in preparation, and Asha was desperate for practical advice. So, she created a community where parents could swap useful tips and share creative advice: Parent Hacks. Today, Asha joins me to discuss the unpredictable nature of parenting and how her early struggles led to the creation of Parent Hacks. She shares the process of turning the blog into a book, the origin of the phrase, and the hacks that had the biggest impact on her life. I ask Asha about her minimalist philosophy, and she explains the idea of making space for many different versions of motherhood. Listen in for Asha’s insight on mindful parenting and learn how she measures success in terms of connection rather than numbers.

Parenting fails are a such a big part of this podcast, I thought it would be fun to create a countdown of the best parenting fails shared on the show. Because who doesn’t love a countdown? Now, obviously, it is really strange to say one parenting fail is better than another. That’s obviously not the case. But there have been some really entertaining stories shared on the show. Of course, like any countdown, there are probably some stories that should have made the list but didn’t. And there are probably some stories ranked too high or too low. The reality is that all of these stories are great for parents to hear, and the takeaway I hope you get from listening is that we all make mistakes, but it’s better to laugh than get stressed out to the point of crying. So this is part 1 of 3 episodes counting down the "best" parenting fails shared on the podcast. Parents in Part 1 of the countdown include: 30. Norine Dworkin-McDaniel, one of moms behind the Science of Parenthood book and website, who was interviewed in episode 9 of the podcast. 29. Karen Alpert, the New York Times bestselling author of I Heart My Little A-Holes and I Want My Epidural Back, who was interviewed in episode 31 of the podcast. 28. Rosie Pope, who starred in the Bravo Network's Reality Show Pregnant in Heels, who was interviewed in episode 30 of the podcast. 27. Mary Elizabeth Williams, author of A Series of Catastrophes and Miracles: A True Story of Love, Science and Cancer, who was interviewed in episode 35 of the podcast. 26. Brian Gordon, creator of the Fowl Language webcomic, who was interviewed in episode 29 of the podcast. 25. Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor in chief of the Huffington Post, who was interviewed in episode 34 of the podcast. 24. Asha Dornfest, author of Parent Hacks: 134 Genius Shortcuts for Life with Kids, who was interviewed in episode 56 of the podcast. 23. Clint Edwards, author of This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, who was inteviewed in episode 10 of the podcast. 22. Amy Bellgardt, the mom who runs Mom Spark, who was interviewed in episode 57 of the podcast. 21. Mike Spohr, editor of BuzzFeed Parents, who was interviewed in episode 36 of the podcast.

This Saturday, women across the country will march in a national show of unity and strength. Now more than ever, women need to support one another and rise up together, both at work and at home. In Episode 66 of Edit Your Life, Christine and Asha interview rock star business owner and community builder Morra Aarons-Mele, founder of social media agency Women Online and host of the popular podcast Hiding In the Bathroom. We discuss why women need to cultivate what Morra calls “weak ties” to form a “new girls’ club,” her top piece of advice for building community, why it’s crucial for women to gain financial power (and how that power sits in both earning and spending), why getting active in your immediate community is EVERYTHING, and how there’s no singular way to parent as a feminist.

As much as we love the holidays, let’s be honest -- they often come with a lot of crap (both emotional and physical).
