Today I sit down with Claire Lerner to discuss practical approaches for parents managing highly sensitive, highly reactive, or 'orchid' children. We address common struggles parents face, such as interpreting sensitive caregiving, setting boundaries, and dealing with tantrums. Using real-life case studies, the importance of creating 'positive discomfort' for growth is emphasized. Tips include setting firm limits, using 'mommy/daddy moments' for decision-making, and the concept of sensitive caregiving that balances meeting children's needs with family dynamics.Pre-order her book HEREI WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Amy chats with parenting writer and The Mom Hour podcaster Meagan Francis about her new book, The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read: How We Let Our Kids Go and Embrace What's Next. Together, they reflect on the identity shift that comes with parenting an emptying nest, the emotional complexity of "lasts," and why transitioning out of the "hands-on" years of parenting requires the same patience with ourselves that entering those years did.

It takes a man to turn a boy into a man. And a dad to show his daughter what she should be looking for in a future husband. That's why I'm constantly nagging you to choose wisely before getting married… to pick a man who will be a good husband and who'll also be a good father. Dads aren't there to just be another adult in the home. They bring something important and essential to their kids' lives.

In this snack episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg catches up with comedian and dad Mike Cannon, who's juggling life with a kindergartener and a new baby. Mike talks honestly about how parenting the second time around comes with fewer toys, more perspective, and the realization that kids' interests change faster than you can declutter. He recounts the chaotic beauty of raising a son who alphabetizes his dinosaurs, breaks toys within minutes, and treasures a lion stuffy so much that it once sparked a Medieval Times rescue mission. Mike shares the emotional toll of not finding a therapist and how cold plunging—yes, in a backyard ice tank—unexpectedly became his mental health lifeline. The episode also covers the perks and pitfalls of moving back to your hometown, coordinating dual creative careers with his floral-designer wife, and why yelling is off-limits in their household. Even without a therapist, Mike has figured out how to use cold water, deep breathing, and a sense of humor to stay present in the chaos of raising two small kids.

Romero's lesser-known work, 'There's Always Vanilla'.

They explore the film's themes of counterculture, character development, and the challenges faced during its writing and production.

In this episode, the hosts delve into the evolution of comedy, critiquing the film 'Morons from Outer Space' for its juvenile humor and lack of substance. They transition into discussing 'The Nun', exploring its themes, character dynamics, and the effectiveness of its horror elements. The conversation culminates in a detailed review of 'Bring Her Back', highlighting its emotional depth and strong performances, ultimately leading to high praise for the film.
Man, when I see my grown children eat now, it surprises me they ever needed help! But they did. And, of course, they're doing great now all by themselves. But there was a time when they had to be fed. And then I watched that with my grandchildren. See, sometimes - especially the very little ones - they need help, especially when they have this big piece of meat or chicken placed in front of them. If you're little and you can barely see over the top of the table, a piece of meat on your plate looks like this pretty daunting challenge! You can imagine as you sit there you might be going, "How do I tackle that?" So, Dads come or Moms come and cut that meat into little pieces that the little guy can handle. That's how you tackle it. Well, I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Parenting in Bite-Sized Chunks." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 118:24. It's a familiar verse, probably one you've sung or maybe memorized. But let's apply it to life's great challenge called parenting. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." I have repeated here that scriptural impression that life is meant to be handled in days. It comes up over and over again, not just here. David said, "This is the day...I'm going to handle life as days." But all through the Bible it talks about these 24-hour bite-sized chunks that we're supposed to do. It talks about strength that comes as your days come; picking up your cross daily, getting mercies that are new every morning. The Bible says "our inward man is renewed day by day," and then the Psalmist comes along and says, "I've got this day the Lord made." Not this year, not this month, not this life - I've got this day. Now, that's really helpful when it comes to the challenge of parenting. Man, you look at all that needs to be done in your child's life. They need to know that they're loved by you. You say, "Oh, there's so much to learn about discipline. They've got weaknesses I really need to work on! They've got strengths they don't believe they have, and I really need to build them up. And they have so much to learn about the Lord. There's so much to learn about life, and I have so much to get done in their life." And you look at all you need to accomplish in their lives and you're overwhelmed; you're paralyzed like a little child looking at this big piece of meat on his plate. But you've got to cut it into bite-sized chunks called days. Your mission is simply to have a good day with your child. Don't try to put a whole life, or even a whole month together. Have one good day. One day where you show your child demonstrated affection, where you debrief each other's day; one good day where you just have some laughs with each other. One day where you deal with one piece of an issue in your life or their life. One day when you give them a specific compliment. One day where you touch the Lord together and talk to Him together about something. And then let the Lord stitch those days together into a tapestry that makes a life. See, we tend to be paralyzed by guilt over the past or anxiety over the future. Our fears. Why not trust the Lord to cover both of those, and you have a good day today. That's how you build a better future. So, don't be overwhelmed by that whole piece of things you need to do as a parent. Just take it one bite at a time.
Your child just slammed their door (again), and every parenting book on your shelf is screaming "CONSEQUENCE!" But what if the secret to cooperation isn't control—it's curiosity?

In today's episode, brought to you by WaterWipes, co-founders, authors and chemists, Gloria Lu and Victoria Fu of Chemist Confessions crack the case on hidden ingredients that may be found in a parent's most used product, Baby Wipes.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "How do I teach my kids accountability when I'm not always perfect myself?" "Does admitting my mistakes actually make me a weaker dad?" "What does it truly take to build unbreakable trust with my children?" If these questions resonate, get ready for a raw and honest conversation that dives deep into one of the most vital lessons dads can teach: extreme ownership. Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner share unfiltered stories from their family's journey—moments of frustration, tough conversations, heartfelt apologies, and the profound vulnerability that comes with admitting when you're wrong. Together, they explore why modeling accountability as a father doesn't diminish your credibility; it fundamentally builds trust and earns lasting respect. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this powerful conversation, we dig into: The Counterintuitive Power of Apology: Larry recounts difficult parenting seasons, including struggles with anger and the immense pressure to be a "perfect" dad, and how genuine apologies transformed those moments. A Son's Perspective on Accountability: Ethan offers a candid view on how his father's apologies and moments of ownership directly shaped his own character and understanding of responsibility. Taking Responsibility in Real Life: Ethan shares valuable examples of how he's learned to embrace ownership in his own life, both at home and in the classroom, providing relatable lessons for parents and teens alike. Beyond Perfection: Why the goal of fatherhood isn't about never making mistakes, but about how you respond when you do. Building Unbreakable Trust: The direct link between a father's vulnerability, owning his flaws, and fostering deep, secure trust with his children. This episode delivers authentic wisdom and reassurance, reminding every dad (and future dad) out there that perfection isn't the goal—connection and growth are. Here's what research and observation highlight about parental accountability and child development: Children whose parents model admitting mistakes and apologizing have 40% higher levels of empathy and a stronger sense of personal responsibility. Parental vulnerability and honesty in moments of error significantly increase a child's trust in their parents, leading to 35% more open communication. Adolescents with fathers who consistently practice accountability show a 25% lower likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

In this heart-centered and thought-provoking episode, Wendy welcomes Dr. Camden Morgante, a licensed psychologist and progressive Christian writer, to explore how we can thoughtfully deconstruct aspects of our faith—without losing our integrity or connection to Jesus. Together, they navigate the intersection of spiritual growth and parenting, sharing personal stories about shifting belief systems, healing from harmful theology, and raising children in a home rooted in values of curiosity, compassion, and respect. Dr. Camden shares her journey from purity culture and evangelical fundamentalism to a more expansive, inclusive, and emotionally healthy faith—and how this evolution shapes the way she parents and supports others doing the same. This episode is an invitation to all families who feel the tension of shifting spiritual beliefs while trying to raise kind, confident, and faith-filled kids. Whether you're unraveling toxic teachings or reimagining what faith can look like in your home, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.

Get ready to LAUGH because that's just about all we do for the first 15 minutes of this coffee talk!
We're diving into how to solve transition battles with kids to help you move seamlessly from one activity to the next with more joy and ease. By the time you finish listening, you'll know:How to stop the ineffective "coo-coo cycle" of commands and consequences and instead become the C.E.O. of transitions - with a powerful four-step approach.1) Connection first (come alongside and notice what they have been playing with, or name it: "Boy! You have been having so much fun playing in this sand and building that castle. Look at it!"2) Direct them to their "Last thing" when you have 2-5 min. left- like they say in Daniel Tiger's episode. This gives more empowerment and makes the child feel like they ended on the note THEY choose.: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ve0cp3) Use tools that give choice/playfulness to encourage cooperation (from the "Empowering statements" handout: https://drive.google.com/.../114xMIG_i5SZv-OzZct.../view...). This is CRITICAL. Instead of just saying "we have to go", put their brain on choices 4) "2 roads" if needed. If they continue to not be motivated by all that - give a happy choice that has a happy result, vs. sad choice and sad result. Like: "well, you can go hopping or skipping, or I will hold your hand and help your body move to the car. You choose." I love the "What should Danny do" books to reinforce this idea in a way kids really like. https://www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_undefined...!Check out episodes 111 and 112 for more summer parenting strategies.

People often ask me why I care so much about parenting when I am not, myself, a parent. This question is always so weird to me — of course I care about parenting norms, because I'm surrounded by parents! The choices that parents make (in the voting booth, as consumers, as community members, as friends) have so many direct and indirect effects on my life and everyone's lives. Plus I'm always interested in how people try and make sense of a ton of contradictory information and “best practices” about how to be in the world, and whew, that is contemporary parenting right now.I'm so pleased that Melinda Wenner Moyer, author of Hello, Cruel World!, agreed to join us to unpack your questions about contemporary parenting trends — she is so good at balancing empathy (for why we gravitate towards certain strategies) with reassurance (less is almost always more). So if you want to talk about the weird ways gentle parenting rhetoric has seeped into the playground, the pressure to overschedule, and the deeply annoying professionalization of kids' sports, whew is this the episode for you. And if you're not a parent but affected by parenting practices: you'll also find so much here.

Have you heard it said that “a parent is only as happy as their unhappiest child”? We know that when you have an unhappy or hurting child, life feels heavy and hard and you may not know how to respond. As part of the Parenting in the Weeds series, Lynn Roush and Austin Conner explore a much needed topic: how to connect with your child when they're hurting. Parents often want to avoid painful feelings in their kids, hoping that they will go away on their own. Or, they jump in to fix the hurt and bypass the opportunity to connect with their child. We want to equip you to lean into your child's heart when you sense that they are in emotional pain. This conversation looks at what hurts kids both inside and outside of the home, how to recognize hurt in your child, how to respond to your child's pain and the relevant topic of recognizing warning signs for suicide. Austin and Lynn offer practical ways to be present, build resilience, and model God's love to your children through life's pain. You can download our free Managing Your Emotions guide at withyouintheweeds.com to help you and your child identify their feelings.

Shana discusses how understanding her own biases and limitations has been key to her growth as a parent.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids. Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography. Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
#SWAMPWATCH – Gary and Shannon are reporting the latest news from Washington, D.C. Former President Donald Trump makes a bold announcement: he says a new trade deal with China is “done.” But what's actually in the deal — and is it really a breakthrough, or just more bluster? We unpack what's known and what's still in the shadows. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is doing something rare — expressing regret. After a string of controversial tweets sparked backlash and confusion, Musk is now walking some of it back. Is this damage control, or a shift in tone from the billionaire CEO? We went live on the ground as L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and regional mayors issued an urgent call: stop the raids. With growing tension and community outrage, local leaders are demanding answers — and action. #PARENTING is talking about Dad's.
