This is a special bonus episode of The Disagreement. In our most recent episode, nurse Megan Tucker and parent coach Sarah Moore talked about sleep training: specifically, the “cry-it-out” method (also known as the extinction method). It's a controversial parenting technique — one which Megan often advises, but Sarah Moore does not.We wanted to get into the alternatives, but didn't have enough time in the main disagreement. Sarah agreed to come back and talk about the other options available to parents — what she calls the more ‘gentle techniques.' Sarah Moore is a conscious parenting trainer and founder of Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting. Sarah is Board Chair for the American Society for the Positive Care of Children, and the author of Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science & Better Behavior.If you haven't listened to the original disagreement between Megan and Sarah yet, head over to our feed and take a listen. Or start right here and then circle back for the more comprehensive dive into the topic. 

The “Cry-It-Out” method is also known as the extinction method. Here's what it looks like: at bedtime, parents put the baby in the crib drowsy, but still awake. Then they leave the room and get the baby at a set time the next morning. They don't respond to crying or protest unless there's a concern for health or safety. Is this the best way to help a new baby sleep through the night? Or are there better alternatives? The GuestsSarah Moore is a conscious parenting trainer and founder of Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting.

When Sarah R. Moore hears someone bemoaning a toddler's tantrum with, “Oh, he just wants attention,” she's likely to respond with, “Yes, and?” It's a term she learned from an improv class but one she frequently applies to parenting. And in terms of tantrums—be it from a toddler or teen—she believes the cry for attention is due to an unmet need. Sarah joins Dr. Amy and Sandy on the Brainy Moms podcast to talk about a variety of tools she believes can be beneficial in helping children, teens, and us feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure...including story teaching, connection, and co-creating boundaries. If you're looking for new ways to grow as a parent and help your child communicate, build resiliency, and deepen their trust and respect for you, this episode is not to be missed! Join us for this upbeat, fun, (and sometimes funny!) discussion with the author of “Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science & Better Behavior.” ABOUT SARAH: Sarah R.

QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS CHRIS: “...not all diseases are visible. And what we're talking about are people walking around who on the outside look perfectly quote unquote normal, and yet are dealing with a crap storm inside of their brain...” CHRIS:  “...with everything going on and everything being thrown at kids, they just wanna know that they matter.”  CHRIS:  “Nobody who has a family member who gets cancer, goes, oh my gosh, what did I do that gave them cancer? We just don't do that. And, and we need to stop doing that about mental health.” CHRIS:  “The past is where depression develops and the future is where anxiety lives. “ PAT: “There is... a generational shift in how mental illness is perceived. Millennials and the Generation Z's, they're much more accepting and knowledgeable about mental illness than previous generations.” CHRIS:  “Kindness could be the simplest thing...people say, I don't have any education in mental health and I don't have any experience...

Join us in this week's episode as we speak on a very heavy topic, in which we discuss the code of silence. What needs to change and how we can become allies to those whom have been victims of any form sexual assault. The code of silence is something that has gone on for way too long and needs to be broken. Many times, victims have stayed silent about the assault they have gone through because of fear tactics. What is sad, is that sometimes these tactics are applied by family members rather than the offender themselves. Mothers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, and uncles, at times tell the victim not to speak out and protect the offender with excuses such as “we don't want to start any family drama”, “if this person finds out they will kill them and then he'll go to jail.” It's time to stop this behavior that puts pressure on an individual that is already going through a lot of emotions as it is. It's time to encourage victims to speak out, it's time to tell them they did nothing wrong by speaking out, it's time to protect victims and make them feel safe, it's time to side with the victims and not the offenders. If you or anyone you may know have been victims of sexual assault, I want you to know you are not alone.
