  • Advice for Anxious Parents: What to Say Instead of "Are You Okay?"

    Advice for Anxious Parents: What to Say Instead of "Are You Okay?"
    Jun 25 2026
    In this week’s The Parent Chat, clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Wendy Mogel joins Dylan Dreyer to make the case that our instinct to protect, schedule, and smooth everything over for our kids is actually making them more fragile — and what to do instead. They get into the real stuff: why "teacup" kids break under the lightest pressure, how to tell if your child's fighting with siblings is normal or a problem, and why the working parent guilt about overscheduling is largely misplaced. Plus the two words Dr. Mogel says every parent should know — "wow" and "uffda" — and why Dylan's been using one of them her whole life without knowing what it meant. And Dr. Mogel's parenting confession: she sent her sick daughter to ski school in Italy with a broken thermometer. The daughter ended up hallucinating that her fingers were chicken bones. She's never forgiven herself — even though her daughters call her a really good mom. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Dylan Dreyer and The Office's Brian Baumgartner on Finding Your People as a Parent
    Jun 18 2026
    On this week’s The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with her real-life friend — The Office star Brian Baumgartner — for a conversation about how hard it is to make friends as an adult, let alone find another family your whole family actually likes. They tell the full story of how they met, why their kids clicked instantly despite boys-vs-girls dinner table teasing, and what it actually takes to make family vacations work — including the ski trip where Brian's booming voice reduced Dylan’s son Ollie to tears.
