Help for you!
My primary medium is the Your Parenting Mojo podcast, where episodes run 45-60 mins. I produce two main types of episodes:
Interviews with the top scientists in their respective fields about their research on parenting and child development;
My analysis and insights on issues that cut across the research base.
I know we shouldn’t have favorites, but there are some episodes that I especially enjoyed making:
Authoritative isn’t the best parenting style
How to stop using power over your child (and still get things done)
What to do with the myth of Polyvagal Theory
Why we shouldn’t read the Your X-Year-Old Child books anymore
Here are some episodes that listeners have found especially actionable:
How to get on the same page as your parenting partner
How to create a culture of consent in our families
You don’t have to believe everything you think
Why ‘giving choices’ doesn’t work - and what to do instead
How to get your children to stop fighting
I offer several ways to get more support on your parenting journey:
My book Parenting Beyond Power: How to Use Connection and Collaboration to Transform Your Family - and the World. The book is where I most clearly articulate my ideas about the links between culture and parenting. I also describe the Problem Solving Approach, which helps us to address challenges with our children and which you’ll see elements of in podcast episodes and Substack posts, from start to finish.
The book is available on a gift economy basis here.
You can support my financial wellbeing by purchasing (and leaving a review!) on Amazon, Bookshop.org, or your local bookstore.
If you can’t afford to buy the book, feel free to download it and share a non-financial resources - like suggesting that your local library order it.
The Setting Loving (& Effective!) Limits short course. Become a free subscriber and get this course for $7 (normally $27!). The course also runs for free in ~April each year, with live support.
The Parenting Membership helps you navigate challenges with your child’s behavior. Opens every May; join the waitlist and we’ll send you a coupon when registration opens.
The Taming Your Triggers workshop shows you the real reasons why you feel triggered by your child’s behavior, and helps you to feel triggered much less often. Opens every February and October.
