Episode Synopsis

Parenting doesn’t break in straight lines—and neither do we. Today we sit with the mess and meaning of raising kids in a world that moves too fast: a 3½-year-old flipping from cuddly to combative, a seven-year-old overwhelmed by karaoke lights, and those heavy days where dishes, deadlines, and “Daddy, play with me” all collide.We talk about the moments that sting—“I hate you,” slammed doors, shop-floor tantrums—and what might be going on underneath. Home is where kids feel safest, so it’s where the biggest feelings land. That’s not failure; that’s attachment. What helped us: clear, predictable screen limits (without turning tech into the villain), swapping devices for modelling clay to unlock calm focus, short visual routines for mornings/bedtime, and repairing fast after blow-ups so trust grows faster than guilt. Along the way: neurodiversity, grief, flexible schools—and why no single “method” fits every child.This isn’t a lecture; it’s a hand on your shoulder. If you’ve ever felt like a good parent having a terrible day, you’ll find yourself here.Got expertise?
