Podcasts about toddlers

In this week's episode, I'm joined by NY Times bestselling author and host of Pulling The Thread Podcast Elise Loehnen for a conversation about the stories women absorb—about being good, selfless, agreeable—and how those narratives shape our lives in ways we rarely notice. We talk about the difference between feelings and facts, why so many of us default to over-functioning, and how these inherited scripts show up during big transitions like pregnancy and early motherhood. Elise and I unpack what it takes to step out of the drama triangle, why martyrdom feels familiar but unsustainable, and how to build a more spacious inner voice that lets you respond instead of react.

Marketing exec Jamal Jimoh shares his fatherhood journey in raising his 2 1/2 -year-old daughter.

Dr. Carole Keim welcomes Dr. David Tusek, board-certified Family Physician and Founder of Cloud Medical, to the show to discuss early childhood development and the good habits that set children up for life. Dr. Tusek identifies the five pillars of health and discusses personalized and preventive childhood medicine with Dr. Keim. The conversation explores modern habits and their impact on children, the critical role of parents, and the idea of introducing a whole-person health framework into children's growth to ensure emotional and physical well-being.The five pillars of health identified by Dr. Tusek are hydration, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. He and Dr. Keim expand on each pillar, describing how sugar functions in nutrition, the glycemic index and its relation to prediabetes in children. The importance of movement and outdoor play is highlighted, especially as screens take priority in children's lives, and they stress the need for better sleep hygiene. The conversation investigates how healthy whole-person habits can be fostered from a young age and how the right habits can help steer children away from chronic disease.   Dr. David Tusek:Dr. Tusek is a board-certified family physician who also has experience as an emergency room doctor.  He is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine.Dr. Tusek relishes the close connectivity with his Cloud DPC patient-members, whether they are training for the Olympics, dealing with an illness, or simply trying to lose a few pounds.  He believes that enhancing one's quality of life is just as important as extending the quantity of our years.Dr. Tusek combines expertise in advanced diagnostics and optimization of brain and body function using a broad-based approach, blending cutting-edge technologies with a natural orientation.  He uses a wide variety of gentle, needle-based therapies to treat musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions and injuries (including PRP and Botox).  He performs various office-based surgeries, cryosurgeries, and treatments of minor trauma.  In 2004, he became one of the first practitioners in Colorado to offer bio-identical hormone implants, and has been working closely with compounding pharmacies (those pharmacies that prepare personalized medications for patients), to provide the purest, most effective forms of natural therapies.In 2009, Dr. Tusek founded one of the nation's first DPC programs, which he sold in 2016.  He then went on to launch Cloud Medical DPC, and currently oversees several other healthcare ventures and projects related to health optimization, behavior change, and addiction medicine.He believes that the soul of primary care medicine lies both in diagnosing and treating existing health problems with the most advanced technologies, as well as deeply considering what it means to be healthy and to heal as human beings, and how to most efficiently unlock our innate capacities for thriving and flourishing.  In the spirit of this pursuit, Cloud Medical has launched a variety of programs under the “School of Health” banner.As a previous member of the steering committee of the Direct Primary Care Coalition based in Washington, DC, Dr. Tusek is a recognized leader in healthcare transformation and was invited to the White House to discuss the future of American medicine.  He was named among the “Top Doctors in Concierge Medicine” and is a former qualifier for the Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.  He enjoys skiing, cycling, and spending time with his wife and two daughters in the playground that is Colorado.__ Resources discussed in this episode:The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on AmazonThe Baby Manual is also available on Amazon“Heartful Kitchen: A Cookbook for Every Body” by Chef Maria Cooper__Contact Dr. Carole Keim MDlinktree | tiktok | instagram Contact Dr. David TusekWebsite: CloudMedical.ioBlog: CloudMedical.io/blogLinkedIn: drtusek Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   - If it's normal for a toddlers to say "I'm sorry" constantly, even when they haven't done anything wrong. - Breaking down child development: How repetition and "theory of mind" shape early empathy and build social awareness. - How to know when frequent apologizing is just a normal developmental phase (and when it might signal something more). - The subtle ways parents can unintentionally reinforce this habit (and some phrases and actions to try instead.) - How to respond to your child in the moment to build confidence, connection, and emotional understanding.   If your little one apologizes for every stubbed toe, sibling squabble, or frustrated sigh, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and how to gently guide them toward more accurate empathy, without worry or overcorrection.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

Send us a textWelcome to the November Q&A! Today, we start with a topic that always stirs strong feelings—birth partners. From the gestures that truly helped to the ones that fell short, we chat about your experiences of your partner's support, presence, connection or not.Next, we respond to an emotional call for help from a sleep-deprived and emotionally exhausted mother whose husband threatens to call the cops on her for how she handled an overwhelming moment with her toddler. Today's episode includes a special guest appearance from Nancy Wainer, world-renowned midwife and the woman who coined the term VBAC. Nancy answers a listener's question about an anterior placenta in a planned VBAC and explains what her decades of experience tell us about how placentas behave in utero. We also discuss endometrial polyps and whether a biopsy could affect future fertility, how to handle conversations about home birth within a hospital work environment, and how to choose a midwife when you have numerous options and like them all. In Quickies, we cover making baby-wearing more comfortable, the myth that labor “starts” at one centimeter, chiropractic versus pelvic floor PT in pregnancy, relieving newborn gas, timing big changes during teething, postpartum nutrition, and even whether to skip airport scanners while pregnant. We end with each of us pondering which baby names we'd choose today and our favorite ways to spend a slow morning at home.VBAC: How to Plan for Success#257 | Labor & Delivery Nurses' Roundtable: How Their Hands are Tied to Doctors' Orders#273 | Special Q&A Featuring Nancy Wainer on VBAC and More********** Needed

Dr. Ron Clark was on with Chaz and AJ this morning to talk about the most common Thanksgiving injuries he sees in the E.R. (0:00)  Lt. Jordan Brown with the Waterbury Fire Department, was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about the rescue of a toddler who had their head stuck in a toilet. Plus, The Tribe continued to call in about the people they are not grateful for this season. (8:00)   News 8's Mike Cerulli is an expert at getting out of talking about politics, so he was in this morning to help the Tribe with his methods for the Thanksgiving table. (19:47)  Darren Monahan, a former prison guard at San Quentin, was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about the 5 years he spent there. During his time, he was in charge of the infamous "Fame Row," which housed Charles Manson and Richard Ramirez. (29:30)  In Dumb Ass News, a valet in Cleveland took a $100,000 car for a joyride. (40:33) 

n this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm back with Victoria for another honest Q&A on the realities of eating disorder and anorexia recovery – from parenting a toddler in the city to grieving a soul dog, coping with extreme hunger, and facing fear foods.We explore:Walking vs compensation when you're a mumCan you still walk everywhere with a toddler when you've quit compulsive running? We talk about honestly checking your motivation, using public transport where you can, and why “perfect recovery” (never moving) isn't real life – especially with a small child.The ‘fat and frumpy' phase & lost motivationHow calling yourself “fat and frumpy” keeps you stuck, the difference between preference and moral judgement about body size, and why motivation is unreliable. We look at choosing freedom over thinness, dressing the body you have now, and remembering that weight gain is a sign of healing, not failure.Triggers: avoid them or sit through them?We explain comfort, stretch and panic zones and how to push yourself without re-traumatising yourself. Diet talk, social events and other triggers become teachers, as you practise boundaries and still move forwards.Who am I without my eating disorder?When the ED has been your main coping mechanism, it's normal to feel like you don't know how to “be you.” We talk about inner child work, self-compassion, trusting that your authentic self emerges as you remove coping behaviours, and allowing curiosity instead of perfection.Extreme hunger, hypermetabolism & “eating crazy amounts”We normalise huge appetite early in recovery, talk about hypermetabolism, and why fast weight gain can actually shorten the most agonising part of the process. Your biology is trying to save your life – not sabotage you.“Is it okay to just eat snacks?”Is it genuine preference or avoidance of meals and fullness? We suggest experimenting with both meals and snacks, following the fear, and noticing whether your choices are driven by freedom or control.Fear you'll never be happy in a weight-restored bodyBoth of us share how we once believed happiness depended on staying small, and how we're now the happiest we've ever been in bodies we wouldn't necessarily choose aesthetically. We reframe the goal from constant happiness to deep contentment and encourage collecting daily “glimmers” of joy.Grieving a soul dog & the ED pullWe discuss why big emotional pain wakes up old ED pathways, and how this is also your chance to rewire them: mechanical eating when appetite vanishes, huge compassion, and letting grief be proof of love.The moment you freeze before a scary recovery actionWe share practical tools for the exact second you want to back out: predicting and writing down what your ED will say, using humour and anger to separate from the ED voice, and adopting a “feel the fear and do it anyway” approach.This episode is for you if:You're in eating disorder or anorexia recovery and trying to live real life (kids, work, city living) without falling back into compensation.You're stuck in the “fat and frumpy” stage and wondering how on earth to keep going.You're afraid of triggers, grief, or big emotions pulling you back into old behaviours.You're terrified you'll never be happy in a weight-restored body.You want lived-experience, straight-talking reassurance that you are not doing recovery “wrong.”Resources mentionedFeel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan JeffersThe Eating Disorder Recovery Circle – my online community with courses, workshops, Q&As, the Feelings Navigator and daily support for every stage of recovery: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/join

In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at how parents can protect their kids in a fast-moving digital world. After a recent conversation about AI left many listeners worried, I wanted to offer practical guidance—not panic. I'm joined by Hari Ravichandran, founder of a leading digital safety platform Aura, to talk about what kids are actually doing on their devices, how AI chatbots are being used, and why so much of it happens out of parents' view. We break down simple, transparent ways to keep young people safe online without spying, how to set expectations when introducing a device, and what to watch for as kids navigate phones, apps, and AI. This is a grounded, actionable conversation for any parent trying to stay ahead of a rapidly changing digital landscape.Visit Aura.com/Humans to receive a 2-week free trial and 60%. off your first yearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's episode, I talk with New York Times reporter Matt Richtel about what adolescence actually is—and why so much of what we think we know about teens is outdated. We discuss an entirely new framework for understanding the adolescent brain: a period designed for intense information processing, where kids are constantly reconciling what they've been taught with a fast-changing world. We unpack why teens don't listen (and why it's not personal), why overwhelm shows up as emotional explosions or rumination, and how parents can help their kids “reboot” instead of pushing more information into an already overloaded system. We also explore what adults can model—curiosity, coping skills, and the ability to live with ambiguity—to support teens through this challenging, necessary, and deeply meaningful developmental stage.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

The new trend of 'underconsumption core' is taking on Black Friday, but is this thrifty, anti-consumerist vibe even achievable for parents who are the ultimate victims of the 'stuff' economy? Special guest host Luca Lavigne joins Stacey Hicks and Monique Bowley to unpack. Plus, casual nudity is slowly disappearing from the public pool and gym change rooms but what does this mean for our kids? Welcome to the era of physical prudes but emotional nudists. And, we're stumbling into Spotify Wrapped season, the annual moment of profound parental shame. We unpack the need for a 'Parent Incognito Mode' that censors results because nobody wants their friends seeing 9,000 hours of Chicken Boonana or KPop Demon Hunters. Our Recommendations:

Out of margin? Whether you're navigating a new baby, a demanding job, a strained relationship, grief, or a big transition, this conversation gives you practical ways to stay grounded when life won't slow down. We share Romi's birth story and the grief that unexpectedly opened the door to peace, unpack why people "borrow" each other's nervous systems, and walk through simple, repeatable practices to regulate in real time—without perfection or spiritual jargon. Who This Is For (and Why It Helps) Parents and caregivers feeling stretched thin and reactive—learn how to co-regulate and repair. Singles and married couples without kids facing career pressure, loneliness, or change—use micro-practices to steady your inner world.

Today we're unpacking a topic that so many families struggle to understand—Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD—especially when it shows up in children. My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity. Tamar walks us through her five-step approach for helping kids manage OCD effectively, and she offers a message of hope—reminding us that with the right support, children can learn to take charge of their thoughts and lead full, joyful lives. About Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D. Tamar E. Chansky, Ph.D., founder of the Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, has helped thousands of children overcome fears and gripping mental compulsions. She is also the author of Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking, Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Freeing Yourself from Anxiety. Things you'll learn from this episode How OCD can deeply impact family life and why awareness and understanding make such a difference Why recognizing the difference between typical anxiety and OCD is key to getting the right support How intrusive thoughts are more common than many realize—and can be effectively managed with treatment Why parents play a central role in helping children navigate OCD using structured, behavior-focused approaches How the five-step model empowers families to support change without reinforcing compulsions Why education, support, and understanding can ease parental fears and lead to better outcomes for kids Resources mentioned Dr. Tamar Chansky's website Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Powerful, Practical Program for Parents of Children and Adolescents (Updated in 2025) by Dr. Tamar  Chansky Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking: Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness by Dr. Tamar Chansky Freeing Yourself from Anxiety: Practical Strategies to Overcome Fears, Worries, and Phobias and Be Prepared for Life–from Toddlers to Teens by Dr. Tamar Chansky Children's and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PA Dr. Tamar Chansky on How to Free Children from Negative Thinking (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Tamar on Instagram Natasha Daniels on Helping Kids Crush OCD (Full-Tilt Parenting podcast) Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids: 50 Fun Activities to Overcome OCD With CBT and Exposures by Natasha Daniels Filmmaker Chris Baier Helps Families Get Unstuck from OCD (Tilt Parenting Podcast) UNSTUCK: An OCD Kids Movie (Available with Spanish, French, Russian, Greek, Portuguese subtitles and an audio description) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode, I speak with Professor Michael Pluess, renowned temperament researcher, to explore what it really means to have a "sensitive" child. We break down the science behind sensitivity as a key part of temperament, why some kids are more reactive to both positive and negative experiences, and how parenting can shape their outcomes. We discuss the genetic and environmental roots of sensitivity, common misunderstandings around the trait, and what parents can do to support emotional regulation.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
