Spencer Doman joins me to share the life-changing philosophy behind The Doman Method, a globally respected approach to child brain development that's helped thousands of children, including those with autism and developmental delays, reach their fullest potential. We talk about the real science of early learning, why the first three years of life are the most important for brain growth, and how everyday parents can shape their child's cognitive, physical, and emotional foundation—no degree or fancy preschool required. Spencer explains why movement is brain-building, how screens affect speech and social skills, and what parents can do to nurture strong language, balance, coordination, and curiosity from birth. He also opens up about his grandfather Glenn Doman's pioneering work, his family's legacy, and how The Doman Method continues to transform lives today. Whether you're a new parent, a soon-to-be parent, or raising a neurodivergent child, this conversation will inspire you to rethink everything you've been told about learning—and rediscover your power as your child's first and most important teacher. In this episode, we discuss: The six pillars of early development: vision, hearing, movement, manual skills, balance, and language The link between tummy time, crawling, and reading Why real human connection—not screens—builds the strongest brains How parents can naturally boost their child's learning in just 10 minutes a day Hope and healing for children with autism and developmental delays Resources: → PUORI | Shop Puori grass-fed protein powder + supplements (Clean Label Certified and third-party tested!!!) discount code: HEALINGTHESOURCE Check out Doman Learning website to join 100,000s of parents who have used the Doman Method® to teach their children reading, math and other subjects before school age.

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.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   By the time Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables came together to launch a parenting podcast in 2016, both had already achieved some mainstream success in traditional Hollywood. Amy landed multiple roles in TV sitcoms and Margaret had worked for several years as a senior writer at Nickelodeon. They teamed up on the podcast, which is called What Fresh Hell, because it offered them more creative freedom and ownership over their work. Within years, advertisers were beating down their door to reach their enormous audience, which mostly consists of moms. In 2022, they leveraged that success to launch Adalyst Media, a podcast network that sells ads for other shows targeting female audiences. In a recent interview, Amy walked me through why she left traditional Hollywood, their decision to launch a network, and how she thinks the podcast industry will evolve in the coming years.

Reset your nervous system to decrease emotional chaos in your life, career, and parenting. In a world where stress seems omnipresent, understanding and managing your nervous system can transform your life. Many of us experience overwhelming feelings and stress without realizing the root cause might be an unregulated nervous system. When you reset your nervous system, you equip yourself to handle stress, improve relationships with your children, and enhance your leadership potential. Understanding the Nervous System Your nervous system is the communication network between your brain and body, sending signals back and forth. When dysregulated, you might experience anxiety, tension, or even illness. Recognizing these signs is the first step in restoring balance. For many, symptoms may manifest as stress, tension, or worry, making it difficult to function at their best. Awareness and understanding of how your body reacts allow you to take control and make necessary adjustments. Recognizing Dysregulation Key to improving your well-being is recognizing when your nervous system is dysregulated. Symptoms appear in various forms, such as overthinking, stress, defensiveness, or even perfectionism. Your body's response, like persistent tension or discomfort, signals the need for change. By tuning into these signals, you can start to identify patterns and take proactive steps to address them. This recognition is vital for regaining a state of calm and focus. Steps to Reset Your Nervous System To reset your nervous system, focus on bringing your prefrontal cortex back online. This part of your brain, crucial for rational thinking, is often bypassed when stressed. Begin by acknowledging any tension and practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or muscle relaxation exercises. Creating a 'safety sequence'—asking yourself if you are safe, feel safe, and identifying physical reactions—can also guide you towards regulation. Implementing these techniques regularly can help shift your baseline state to one of calm and flexibility.   Read the full show notes and access all links.
