Podcasts about toddlers

Toddler emotional regulation feels impossible some days—especially when your child melts down over socks, refuses to listen, or completely falls apart at bedtime. In this conversation with Mama Nous, we talk about why music can calm tantrums, reduce power struggles, and actually help kids build confidence and resilience in everyday moments.If you've ever wondered how to help your toddler cooperate without yelling, how to stay calm during hard parenting moments, or why emotionally intelligent songs seem to “work” when nothing else does, this episode connects the neuroscience with real life. We talk about toddler meltdowns, emotional regulation, parenting triggers, power struggles, confidence-building, and the hidden ways our own childhood experiences shape how we parent today.What You'll Learn:• Why singing can help toddlers transition, cooperate, and calm down faster• How music supports emotional regulation and reduces power struggles• Practical ways to help kids build confidence without pressure or shame• Why “good enough parenting” matters more than perfection• How to model emotional resilience without hiding your own feelingsThis episode blends developmental psychology, neuroscience, and honest parenting conversations in a way that's practical enough to use during the hardest parts of the day.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday & welcome to our FIRST week of 3 episodes a week!!! (Mon/Wed/Fri…) And YES, we are kicking things off with a LITTLE chaos (there were storms in Texas last night and everyone was up all night!!) So if you think this episode feels all over the place… IT IS!! (welcome to the inside of our brains on a Monday morning lol). On today's episode: we get into a parenting concept that has officially rewired our brain: toddlers are SCIENTISTS!!! We are SO down to let our kids experiment + learn from their mistakes (safely). Plus, our #1 toddler hack: give them two choices (it has saved us in SO many standoffs already). First we get into the World Cup… it's taking over our lives (and America) in the best way possible!!! The TikTok video of girls asking "wait, when did the US get into the World Cup?!" sent us, the European fans are LOSING THEIR MINDS over Buc-ee's, ranch, & unlimited refills (& sales tax not being on the list price?!), and Rod Stewart canceled his concert to go to a World Cup game (Harrison's defense: no chance, you'd NEVER do that for a group stage match — it was laryngitis). Plus, Elon Musk officially became the world's FIRST trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO (Stock School with Harrison incoming!), the Summer House butterfly effect (Harrison's wildest theory yet on Jesse, Sierra & West), and the question we cannot stop thinking about: will Taylor & Travis ACTUALLY get married at MSG?! (& who would perform??

No, not Lucy and Jeff, but Adam and Brian. And it's goodbye Jimmus and the longest drawn out gene test in history.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ambridgeonthecouch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentingsimply.com/toddler-tantrums-sibling-rivalry-and-one-tired-mom/ Quotes to ponder: "Tantrums are one of those things that parents need to deal with when their kids are young. They are exhausting and frustrating." "You are teaching them to respect each other's possession. It is a lesson that will not be learned overnight but the training can and should start when they are young." "The best measures are preventative. Try to keep you kids on a schedule so they are getting the sleep they need, they are eating at set times and they are getting regular one on one attention from you." Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we go DEEP on the US maternity leave problem (did you know in 1919, 37 out of 38 industrialized nations adopted 14 weeks of paid leave… and the US was the ONE that held out?! And 100 years later, 1 in 4 American moms will go back to work within 2 weeks of giving birth?!). We learned SO much prepping for this episode & we're excited to figure out what we can do about this. Before we get into that, we start with Harrison's potentially fake World Cup jersey from an Instagram ad (also the CRAZY way he brought up this topic), Alex's mahjong charity event for the Jeremiah Program, and a new idea we're floating: living abroad for a year in 2028?! (Alex is NOT here for hypotheticals). Plus, the #1 unexpected change going from 1 to 2 kids (the CAR is officially a 9 out of 10 in messiness) and the listener Q we've been thinking about all week: how does your heart grow for baby #2?!

Everyone talks about the baby. Nobody talks enough about what happens to you. This week, Sonia and Jessica are diving into the messy, emotional, hormonal, occasionally unhinged reality of postpartum life—the part that doesn't fit into the cute Instagram squares. From postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts to rage, identity shifts, relationship changes, and wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again, they're sharing the conversations more women need to hear. They also discuss the absolute chaos of planning children's birthday parties while trying to function as an adult, homemade cake disasters, why toddlers seem determined to test every emotional boundary known to mankind, and the surprising reality that kids usually handle life's chaos better than we do. Along the way, they unpack the myth that postpartum magically ends after six weeks, how infertility and fertility treatments can impact the postpartum experience, why "bouncing back" is one of the most ridiculous expectations placed on women, and the reality of rebuilding your confidence, marriage, friendships, and identity after becoming a mother. Topics include: ✨ Postpartum anxiety, rage, intrusive thoughts, and mental health ✨ The truth about postpartum recovery after birth ✨ Hormones, fertility treatments, and emotional healing ✨ Identity shifts and learning who you are after motherhood ✨ Relationship changes, intimacy, and feeling like yourself again ✨ Birthday party planning, homemade cake fails, and mom expectations ✨ Toddler overstimulation, meltdowns, and surviving family events ✨ Kristen Doute, The Valley, and why postpartum deserves more honest conversations ✨ Breastfeeding, pumping, maternity leave, and motherhood realities ✨ Building community and finding support during the hardest seasons

What happens inside a child's brain when they're told not to touch something… and immediately reach for it anyway?In this episode we sit down with developmental neuroscientist Dr. Abigail Fiske from Lancaster University to explore how self-control develops in infancy and early childhood.Dr. Fisk studies executive functions, which are the mental skills that help us focus, regulate behaviour, and resist impulses. Using child friendly brain-imaging technology (FNIRS) and longitudinal research, she follows children from infancy through early childhood to understand how these critical abilities emerge and develop.We discuss:Why toddlers struggle with self-controlWhat executive functions actually areHow inhibitory control develops in the brainMeasuring brain activity in babies using non-invasive neuroimagingThe role of the prefrontal cortex in early developmentLessons from the classroom that inspired Dr. Fisk's research careerWhy the first five years of life are so importantEarly intervention, education, and the future of child development researchWhether you're a parent, educator, psychology enthusiast, or simply curious about how the brain develops, this conversation offers fascinating insights into the science behind self-control and learning.Support the showSupport us and reach out!https://smoothbrainsociety.comhttps://www.patreon.com/SmoothBrainSocietyInstagram: @thesmoothbrainsocietyTikTok: @thesmoothbrainsocietyTwitter/X:  @SmoothBrainSocFacebook: @thesmoothbrainsocietyMerch and all other links: Linktreeemail: thesmoothbrainsociety@gmail.com

This week, Sonia and Jessica are back to discuss the glamorous reality of being women in their 40s—which apparently includes hormones doing whatever they want, kids asking the same question 47 times in a row, and spending weeks planning a birthday party that lasts approximately three hours. The conversation bounces from Memorial Day weather pivots and kitty-cat-themed birthday party planning to the emotional rollercoaster of raising strong-willed little humans. They share real parenting moments, the chaos of toddler independence, dance recital memories, children's museum meltdowns, zoo adventures, and the universal experience of trying to make family memories while secretly wondering if everyone is about to lose their minds. Along the way, they discuss the reality of perimenopause, why "sexymenopause" might be one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time, viral social media surprises, fast-food emergencies, and the emotional support Chick-fil-A sauce that got them through it all. Because motherhood after 35 isn't always graceful—but it is usually entertaining. Topics include: ✨ Kitty-cat birthday party planning and execution ✨ Toddler independence, emotions, and power struggles ✨ Dance recitals, zoo trips, and children's museum adventures ✨ The reality of perimenopause and hormonal chaos ✨ Funny parenting wins (and failures) ✨ Family outings that almost go off the rails ✨ Postpartum perseverance and motherhood resilience ✨ Why sometimes surviving the day is the victory Resources & Links: Geriatric Mamas Website Montessori Education Tips for Potty Training Dance Recitals and Costumes Inspiration Connect with the Geriatric Mamas: Instagram Facebook Email us at hello@geriatricmamas.com Want to be a guest?

Show Summary:    Mudita Khurana — Tech Lead at Airbnb and the person who always says, “I got this” No Password Required Season 7: Episode 6 - Mudita Khurana   Mudita Khurana is a Tech Lead for Automated Tooling and Vulnerability Management at Airbnb, where she focuses on building modular, scalable security systems in an era of rapidly evolving AI threats. Before Airbnb, she spent nearly a decade in security roles across Accenture, Meta, and PwC, making bold career pivots along the way, including turning down a PwC return offer to join Facebook's product security team. In this episode, Mudita shares her journey from a family of doctors in India to Carnegie Mellon and into the heart of Big Tech security. She discusses what it means to thrive as a non-traditional engineer in a deeply technical field, why she stepped back from management to get closer to the work, and how she thinks about building security tooling that won't be obsolete in three months. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from Tampa B-Sides at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Mudita firmly plants her flag in the Harry Potter universe as Hermione, explains why Deadpool doesn't qualify as a superhero, debates gym vs. nature as a reset strategy, and reveals her dream remote work base: a high-altitude Buddhist mountain town in the Himalayas.   Follow Mudita on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muditakhurana/     In this episode: Mudita shares her unconventional path into cybersecurity, highlighting the importance of mentorship and curiosity (0:25 - 1:37) The significance of mentorship, especially Vandana Verma, in her career development (2:26 - 4:00) Transition from management to technical IC roles and why staying close to technical work matters (9:29 - 10:23) The influence of her education at Carnegie Mellon and how it broadened her problem-solving skills (6:23 - 7:41) Navigating imposter syndrome and embracing challenges as growth opportunities (3:26 - 5:29) How AI is changing cybersecurity strategies—building modular, layered systems for agility (15:31 - 16:26) The importance of community, trust, and consensus in cybersecurity decision-making (17:06 - 17:47) Mudita's favorite places for remote work and balancing planning with spontaneity in travel (23:01 - 24:13) Her personal approach to wellness, exercise, and resets during busy days (21:32 - 22:36) Her unique perspective on superhero characters, favorite places, and cultural roots (18:54 - 19:36, 25:19 - 26:21) Timestamp Highlights: (00:25) Mudita's 10-year journey into cybersecurity starting from India (02:26) Mentorship's critical role in her growth and her admiration for Vandana Verma (09:29) Transition from management back to technical roles and why staying close to the work matters (15:31) How AI fosters layered, modular security systems for faster adaptation (17:06) The importance of community and trusted information sources in security (21:32) Reset routines—gym versus nature hikes—and staying grounded during busy days (25:19) Leh, Ladakh: Mudita's ideal remote work location nestled in Himalayan beauty Resources & Links: Vandana Verma - Influential mentor in cybersecurity ThreatLocker - Supporter of this podcast Cyber Florida – The Mother Ship

Baby food should not feel like a trade-off between “quick” and “good”. We sit down with Ed van der Lande, founder of More Toddler Meals, to unpack a deceptively simple question: how do you feed toddlers wholesome meals with real texture and visible ingredients when you are exhausted, out of the house, or racing between nursery pick-ups and work?Ed traces the idea back to a moment on deployment in Somalia, watching his wife carry the full load at home and feeling the friction every parent knows. That frustration turned into an unusual solution: freeze drying. We break down, in plain English, how freeze drying differs from retort and pasteurised pouch foods, why heat can change flavour and texture, and why chewing and oral development matter when little ones are learning to eat. If you care about healthy toddler meals in the UK, convenient baby food, and what “shelf-stable” can look like without turning into puree, this will spark ideas.We also get practical about building a product-based business. Ed shares the leap from British Army major to Amazon, the leadership principles he carried over (high standards, curiosity, customer obsession), and the systems he uses now to keep focus. From home recipe trials and brutally honest feedback to selling at markets, walking into independent retailers, and rethinking online growth, this is a candid look at what it really takes to launch and scale a food brand.If you enjoy the conversation, subscribe, share it with a parent or founder, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show

✨ Stop toddler tantrums before they start. Learn the complete system: drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop Stop toddler tantrums before they start by catching the Pivot Window — the specific period before a child fully dysregulates where three strategies can redirect the escalation entirely. Dr. Lindsay Emmerson explains why the instinctive parental responses in this window make meltdowns more likely, and what to do instead. In this episode: → •       What the Pivot Window is and how to recognize it in children ages 1–7 •       Why reasoning, explaining, and waiting all make things worse in this specific window •       Option 1: Redirection — how to shift attention before escalation becomes self-sustaining •       Option 2: Humor — feigned drama, commentator mode, and the deliberate error technique •       Option 3: Tension break — change of subject and change the tone •       Two scripted before-and-after examples (ages 3 and 6) •       A realistic results timeline: what to expect in days 1–3, days 4–7, and week 2+  

If you've ever said "no" to your toddler and watched them do it anyway — you're not failing. You're just missing one piece of information that changes everything.The developing brain under three cannot reliably process negation. "Don't throw" registers as "throw." "No hitting" registers as "hit." And the more you escalate, the more you reinforce the exact behavior you're trying to stop.In this episode, Erin breaks down why throwing, hitting, and grabbing are not three separate problems — they're one neurological reality — and gives you the specific language and strategies your toddler's brain can actually receive and learn from.You'll walk away understanding:→ Why "No" fails — and the developmental timeline behind it→ What's really happening when you lose your patience (it's more honest than you'd expect)→ Why your toddler laughs when they hit — and what that laugh actually means→ How to respond to throwing, hitting, and grabbing in the moment→ The four things that work every time, across every situationThis is the episode to share with every mom in the thick of the toddler years.─────────────────────────────

#203 - Has your toddler started getting upset more quickly than before, leaving you wondering where these big emotions are coming from?In this episode of First Time Mum's Chat, Helen Thompson explores what's often happening beneath those sudden tears, frustrations, and emotional reactions that can seem to appear out of nowhere.You'll discover why toddlers often struggle to make sense of big feelings, why they may sometimes push you away when they're upset, and why your calm presence matters more than having the perfect response.If this stage has been feeling a little confusing lately, this episode will gently reassure you that you're not alone—and that what your little one needs most is often simpler than you think.Check out the show notes at https://www.mybabymassage.net/podcast/202.

Dr. Carole Keim sits down with neurologist and Mama Bird founder Dr. Mika Gupta for an insightful conversation about baby brain development and the critical role nutrition plays from preconception through early childhood. As both a physician and a mom, Dr. Gupta draws on personal experience and explains the concept of the “first 1,000 days”. She explains why this window is so important for building a strong foundation for a child's lifelong brain health. Together, Dr. Keim and Dr. Gupta explore how thoughtful nutritional choices can support mom and baby during this period of rapid growth and development. Dr. Gupta and Dr. Keim discuss key nutrients that support brain development, including iron, DHA, choline, iodine, and methylated B vitamins, along with practical guidance on how to meet these needs through diet and supplementation. Dr. Gupta also breaks down common misconceptions about prenatal vitamins. She highlights the importance of ingredient forms like methylfolate and why one supplement may not cover everything. With Dr. Keim's warm and relatable guidance, this episode empowers parents with knowledge to make informed, supportive choices for themselves and their growing babies. Key Moments 00:00 Meet Dr. Mika Gupta and her journey into neurology and nutrition 02:19 What are the “first 1,000 days” and why they matter 03:03 Why prenatal vitamins should start before pregnancy 04:03 Understanding MTHFR and methylated vitamins 06:22 Key nutrients for baby's brain development explained 08:22 Can you get enough nutrients from food alone? 11:26 Nutrition needs during postpartum and breastfeeding 12:48 Common mistakes when choosing prenatal vitamins 16:44 Why one prenatal vitamin isn't enough for everything 18:38 What “brain-first” vitamins mean 23:55 One key takeaway for supporting baby's brain development About Dr. Mika Gupta: Dr. Mika Gupta is a double board-certified neurologist, MIT-trained, and founder of Mama Bird. She's also a mother of two — a daughter training at the Royal Ballet School and a son with Down syndrome — two radically different brains that taught her more about human potential than any textbook ever could. After her son was born, Dr. Gupta stopped trusting a system that was never built for women and started building what should have existed all along: evidence-based tools for brain health during the first 1000 days, the most critical window of development. She's a brain activist — helping women see that the invisible architecture they build and sustain is the most neurologically important work in human life. __  Resources discussed in this episode: The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on Amazon The Baby Manual is also available on Amazon __ __ Contact Dr. Carole Keim MD Website: CaroleKeim.com Linktree TikTok Instagram Contact Dr. Mika Gupta Website: DrBrainMom.com Website: LoveMamaBird.com Dr. Mika Gupta on LinkedIn Instagram: @drbrainmom ---FullScriptUse this link to get 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50.HIRO DiapersUse code DRCAROLEKEIM for a discount at checkout.

Jenn talks about having more than one toddler at her house. 

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! We are coming off of a SOCIAL weekend (read: Harrison is doing another fast, but we ALSO have tons of fun topics that came out of it). We start with a survey finding that's going viral: 75% of Americans say restaurants should have adults-only sections. 1) We kind of think this already exists (on the down low… hostesses let us know), and 2) there is a HUGE opportunity for someone to create a Hillstone x Chuck E. Cheese crossover. Then we're asking: is THIS the ONLY way kids will actually learn??? (We need to know how YOU would have handled the Tate vs. Coke Zero situation - but we're happy we treated it as a learning opportunity) And another reminder this week: toddlers imitate EVERYTHING (burping your newborn is confusing for your toddler who is not allowed to “hit”). Oh, and body wash is officially being picked up by toes in the shower (watch the full ep for details AND send help).

This episode of the Moms on Call podcast explores practical ways to raise confident, well-adjusted toddlers by treating them as strong, adaptable, and resilient, rather than shielding them from every challenge or moment of upset. Jennifer and Laura discuss using a consistent nighttime routine as a daily touchpoint where parents are fully present, set aside phones and distractions, review simple household rules, and end the day by affirming that their children are loved, believed in, and will be seen “when the sun comes up,” reinforcing trust and security.

Conversations about mental health may include adolescents or children, but they rarely focus on babies or toddlers. A graduate program at Portland State University is teaching child care professionals to do just that.   The Infant/Toddler Mental Health graduate certificate is designed to help educators, social workers, counselors and other early childhood specialists foster strong connections between caregivers and their children during the earliest stages of life. Research shows that consistent, loving feedback from caregivers helps build neural connections that support communication and emotional resilience as a child grows up. We talk with Melissa Williams, an early intervention specialist with the Multnomah Early Childhood Program, and Sally Guyon, the co-coordinator of the Early Childhood: Inclusive Education master’s program and an assistant professor of early childhood care and education at PSU.

In this episode pediatric sleep consultant Meghan Kemna (former educator) breaks down the foundations of healthy sleep for babies and toddlers so families can move from exhausted and overwhelmed to confident and well-rested. We cover what a true sleep foundation looks like across the first few years, realistic expectations by age (newborn, 4–6 months, 6–12 months, toddler), and when to seek support. Meghan also explains the key elements of consistent routines—timing, environment, and cues—plus small, practical changes that produce big improvements, how sleep supports development and parental well‑being, and low-stress strategies for families with unpredictable schedules or multiple children.What you'll learnAge-by-age sleep expectations and common red flags to watch forCore components of an effective sleep routine (timing, cues, environment)Simple tweaks that quickly improve nighttime and nap outcomesHow better sleep supports developmental milestones and parental mental healthLow-effort strategies for chaotic schedules and sibling householdsAbout Our GuestMeghan Kemna is a former educator turned pediatric sleep consultant on a mission to help families go from exhausted and overwhelmed to confident, rested, and sleeping through the night.

This week on Between Us Moms, we are ALL over the place in the best way possible!We debate the absolutely insane cost of toddler birthday parties and try to figure out what's actually reasonable to spend in this economy… because between groceries, inflation, and Pinterest-worthy parties, parenting is getting EXPENSIVE. We each put a dollar amount on much we think a kid's birthday party should cost.Then we get into the “sleep divorce” conversation because Hallie might be getting one — should couples sleep in separate rooms if one partner snores?! We also spiral into a full-blown nostalgic 90s crush conversation after hearing about Hilary Duff's childhood crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Katie and Hallie reveal the heartthrobs that completely defined their childhoods — Joshua Jackson, Hanson, Ryan Phillippe, Scott Speedman, Eric Von Detten, Devon Sawa and more. Plus, they share personal stories and interactions they've had with some of these men that you won't here anywhere else.Plus:• Our thoughts on Netflix's The Crash: Are Madeline's parents also partly responsible?• The REAL mom triggers pushing us over the edge lately: Whining, fighting siblings, bedtime battles, overstimulation and never having enough time to get anything done... we are sharing our personal motherhood moments that make us want to cry.If you're a millennial mom trying to survive parenting, marriage, nostalgia, and the economy all at once… this episode is for you.Make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and follow Between Us Moms for new episodes every week!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you have ever looked at your teenager and thought, “Why are we suddenly having toddler-level emotional meltdowns again?” this episode is going to make so much sense. I had such a fascinating conversation with Tania Johnson from the Institute of Child Psychology about what is actually happening inside the teenage brain, and honestly, it completely reframed some things for me as a parent.We talk about why teens and toddlers are surprisingly similar from a brain development perspective, why emotional outbursts and withdrawal are actually normal parts of development, and what parents can do to stay connected without smothering their kids. I especially loved how practical this conversation became. Tania has such a gift for taking complicated psychology concepts and making them feel doable in real life.One of my biggest takeaways from this episode was the reminder that connection is still the foundation of parenting during the teen years. Even when they roll their eyes, shut their doors, or seem like they do not want us around, attachment and relationship still matter deeply.In this episode, we cover:Why the teenage brain develops similarly to a toddler's brainWhat co-regulation actually looks like during emotional momentsWhy talking less can sometimes help more with teensWhat is happening when your teen explodes and then withdrawsWhy parents should step back into connection after conflictHow attachment continues shaping mental health during adolescenceSimple family rituals that help teens feel loved and connectedWhy family meals matter more than most parents realize! Resources We Mention for Parenting Teens with ConnectionCheck out Tania's book: The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient Children by Tania Johnson and Tammy Schamuhn (Amazon / Bookshop.org)What Is Nervous System Work, and Why Is It Important?Teens Want to Be in Control.
