  • Being Authentic When It Feels Mean

    Being Authentic When It Feels Mean
    Jun 30 2026
    Can we be authentic with our kids without making them feel rejected? Is it wrong to find their behavior so annoying at times? A parent worries that saying "I don't want a hug right now" when she's feeling angry or annoyed will damage her relationship with her 3-year-old. Janet explores what genuine authenticity looks like with children, and how understanding a child's behavior makes it easier to respond with confidence and connection.

  • When Daily Tasks Turn Into Daily Battles: Transitions, Conflict, and Real Connection

    When Daily Tasks Turn Into Daily Battles: Transitions, Conflict, and Real Connection
    Jun 23 2026
    A parent writes that her 5-year-old consistently resists getting dressed, brushing her hair, bathing, or brushing her teeth. "What starts as a simple transition can turn into an hour-long battle, with both of us ending up overwhelmed and the task often still unfinished." This mom has tried everything she can think of—timers, countdowns, reward charts, silly games, punishments—but nothing seems to help. Janet explains why these well-meaning strategies can sometimes work against connection, reframes what these daily struggles may really be asking of us, and offers a perspective on confidence that could change the way this parent approaches the next difficult moment.

  • Peer Play. Using Our Power to Help Kids Thrive Socially

    Peer Play. Using Our Power to Help Kids Thrive Socially
    Jun 16 2026
    A 4-year-old struggles when friends won't follow her rules of play. A 3-year-old is reserved around other people. Another preschooler is routinely excluded from a group of friends. Janet weighs in on these issues and explores how parents may be playing a bigger role in these dynamics than they realize, and what they can do instead to encourage their kids to build confidence, resilience, and healthy social skills.

I've listened to Janet's books and quite a few of these podcasts, it's absolutely life changing. I've implented a lot of the advice given for my nearly 3 year old and we are seeing some fantastic results, he also seems so much happier and connected to me, I haven't lost my temper in months, even his dad is picking up and implementing the things I'm doing and their relationship is even stronger now too. Overall, I'm going to keep listening and following Janet's advice. I love that they're small bite sized information, which I find very easy to digest and put into practice. Thankyou janet!

I absolutely adore this podcast, it's changing our lives. but why, after 266 episodes, are new episodes "no longer included in my membership"?? are you guys at audible seriously saying I need to use a £7.99 credit EVERY TIME I want to listen to a half hour episode?! That's ridiculous, I'm baffled and annoyed 😒

New episodes suddenly unavailable??
