This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're covering it all — from our AI school tour (yes, AI school is a real thing??) to wedding and honeymoon updates (we may have picked a destination?? (& its a SECRET)) and life with a toddler who's officially transitioning to one nap. We're also talking first-trimester nausea (Sea-Bands for the win - maybe??), Harrison's (and Jules'!!!) Jonas Brothers concert night out (plus Rob's Backstage Popcorn BTS), and a recap of the Louvre jewel heist bc  we can't stop thinking about it.  Then, we get into etiquette that still matters (thank-you notes, “Mr.” and “Ms.”, saying hi to other parents) before Things We DMed Each Other — like the funniest things that are physically impossible during pregnancy and the fact that your heart literally grows while pregnant (!!!).

In this conversation, toddler expert Devon Kuntzman returns to reframe the years we're told to dread as a season rich with firsts, wonder, and essential brain development. She explains why toddlerhood and the teen years are “parallel tracks,” and how learning the skills now—setting realistic expectations, scaffolding independence, and embracing the full spectrum of emotions—pays off for the long haul. Devon's new book, Transforming Toddlerhood, distills real-life challenges into 45 fast, practical chapters with scripts, FAQs, and red flags, so you can flip straight to “tantrums,” “sharing,” “whining,” or “leaving the park” and get calm, actionable help. You'll hear why less is more during meltdowns (create safety, ground yourself, uphold warm limits), how to handle the “broken granola bar” moments without panic or bribery, and why it's not your job to make your child happy—it's your job to help them feel seen, heard, and loved. We dig into playful transitions, outside-first playdates, roughhousing as a surprising path to self-regulation and consent, and the sneaky ways screens can reinforce the behaviors you're trying to reduce. This is a hopeful, dignity-honoring guide for raising resilient kids—and growing right alongside them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joining me this week is Devon Kuntzman, the author of the brand-new book Transforming Toddlerhood: How to Go From Surviving to Thriving in the Toddler Years. Devon is here to talk about what's really going on beneath the surface of those big toddler behaviors—and how parents can respond with calm, confidence, and connection.   Together we explore:   Why those “challenging” toddler behaviors (like tantrums, hitting, and defiance) are actually developmentally appropriate—and what they're communicating. How to shift from punishment to teaching, and use discipline as a tool for learning rather than control. The meaning behind Devon's concept of developmentally smart parenting and how it helps you set firm but kind limits. Practical tools for staying grounded and patient during your child's biggest meltdowns. How to step out of power struggles without giving up your authority. Why your calm, confident presence is the most powerful parenting strategy you have.   Whether you're deep in the toddler trenches or preparing for this next stage, this conversation will help you see your child's behavior through a new lens—and bring more confidence, connection, and compassion into your parenting.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Ari Brown (board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 book series) for a conversation about what truly matters for your baby's health. Dr. Brown brings decades of experience helping parents cut through the noise of modern parenting.

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in. A flicker of envy at a friend's house, a small moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a quiet thought that says, “Why not me, God?” In today's episode, we're talking about how to be on guard against Satan's work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose. Mentioned in this Episode

Ever had one of those days when your toddler is flopping on the floor like a fish out of water, screaming because you gave them the wrong color cup? And while they're losing it, you're standing there thinking, “Yup… I'm about to lose it too.” You are not alone, mama. In this episode, parenting coach Devon Kuntzman, PCC, shares exactly how to handle toddler tantrums without losing your cool. You'll hear the simple first step that instantly changes the meltdown dynamic, how to ground yourself when your nerves are fried, and why setting limits doesn't make you the “mean mom”—it makes you the leader your toddler actually craves.

In this episode, I'm sharing the truth behind my 75 Hard journey — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the way it completely changed my life. From rediscovering my drive to deepening my faith, this process taught me what it really means to show up, even when it's hard.I didn't start 75 Hard to lose weight. I really started it because I didn't recognize who I was anymore. For years, I told myself I needed to get consistent, but the truth was I had become comfortable making excuses. This challenge was my wake-up call. It pushed me to deny myself, rebuild discipline, and lean on God in ways I never had before.If you've been struggling with consistency, purpose, or just feeling stuck — this episode is your reminder that you can do hard things. Not because you have to prove something, but because you're worth the effort.✨ Scripture: Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”FOLLOW US: @girlirlpod @mariahclayton_   Don't forget to leave a 5 star rating!

There is a renewed call for a ban on pop up pools following the drowning of another toddler in a temporary backyard pool. It is at least the second drowning of an under two year old in a temporary pool in just over a year. Water Safety New Zealand wants the sale and use of above-ground cheap temporary pools banned altogether, because people are unware of the rules or don't fence them. Auckland Council licensing and environmental health manager Mervyn Chetty spoke to Lisa Owen.

Annabel and Dale sit down for a heartfelt talk about the food narratives we grew up with and how they surface now that we're raising kids.

Few things break a parent’s heart like leaving your toddler at childcare while they cry, scream, and beg you not to go. Is this the same as “cry it out”? Is it harming their development—or just part of growing up? In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the science of separation anxiety and share practical, compassionate strategies to ease drop-off stress—for your child and for you. KEY POINTS Why toddler separation anxiety is different from cry-it-out sleep training The role of support networks, emotional development, and cognition in how kids cope Two critical signs that reveal if your child is actually okay When to worry: What ongoing distress might really mean Practical strategies: routines, comfort items, quick goodbyes, and positive pick-up rituals QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Separation hurts—but if your child settles quickly, connects with others, and greets you with joy at the end of the day, you can breathe easier. They’re okay.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Little People, Big Feelings [The Summit] The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn – a beautiful story for easing separation anxiety ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stick to routine – predictability builds security. Use comfort anchors – a hand-kiss, fabric scrap, or pocket token. Keep drop-offs short – no lingering, quick and confident goodbye. Plan pick-up rituals – a special “after care” routine your child can look forward to. Check in with carers – ask how quickly your child settles and how they engage during the day.
