Can a podcast change someone's life or the way they parent? Listen as Ligia, one of my loyal and most dedicated listeners shares her expereince having consumed the ENTIRE 7 years worth of the content of this podcast. 

Ligia became a mom at age 41. She is a mom to a 9 year old girl who has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. 

• What lessons has she learned?
• How has her life changed? In what ways has she grown? 
• What concrete things has she applied from the show into her own parenting? Has she seen results? Was it all worth it in the end? 
• Has she gotten tired of me and my voice? 
• Where is she now and what is next for her?

Here is a quote from this epsiode: 

"Great parenting begins with knnowing who you are." 

The hardest part about parenting is NNOT parenting. It's dowing your own work, while raising kids. 

Please enjoy and remember doing your own work while parenting is hard. Stay on course, be gentle and easy on yourself. It’s a worthwhile journey. Continue learning and growing, and pause to recognize and celebrate your wins along the way.

This is Part 2 of a two part show.

We took a deep dive into the topic of chores. In the first part we talked about our feelings about the word-chores, shared our own experiences of growing up doing chores, unpacked the why of assigning chores to kids, started a discussion of ages and development and expectations and answered a listener question.

As well as, we talked about the importance of parental attitude, engaging kids seamlessly into the process using playfulness and teaching crucial lessons and life-long skills, like responsibility and helpfulness and imparting our values without control.

In this part we continue the discussion of what kids are capable of doing at different ages, we both share how we do chores with our own kiddos, answer some fantastic listener questions, talk about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and tell you what we think about paying kids for doing chores. A super-packed, useful and really helpful episode sprinkled with humor and fun.

If you have listened to EPISODE 336 with Gabor Maté, then you're going to enjoy today’s conversation, as it features his eldest son–Daniel Maté who is the co-author of The Myth of Normal. 

Daniel Maté is an award-winning musical theatre dramatist, songwriter, and educator. 

This conversation explores the complicated parent-child relationship in childhood and beyond. 

Childhood is a short period in the entire span of the parent-child relationship. Yes, it’s impactful and formative but If you think about it, we are going to have more time with our kids as adult children. The adult child-parent relationship is much longer, which means there is always hope and potential for reparation, improvement and transformation of that relationship.

SOME KEY POINTS 

• What was it like collaborating on the book project with his dad?
• What was it like growing up with Dr. Gabor Mate?
• Parental inability to see and accept children for who they are
• What children really want is to be seen and heard
• Parent+child fusion
• Parental Intolerance of the child's separateness 
• Parenting as gardening
• Discovering one's self
• On personal responsibility, agency, and cultivating resources
• What a calling?

Carla Naumburg, a clinical social worker, mother, and author of five non-fiction books, including her international bestseller, How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids is back to the show.

Have you ever thought that you were a bad parent, doing a shitty job, failing your kids or just doubting whther you were doing it "right"?

Parents feel that way. And there are real good reasons for that. We talk about that on the show. In addition, Carla shares tangible steps for how to use each to help parents reduce their anxiety, trust their instincts, move past the guilt and become a calmer, more confident parent. Which, in the end, benefits your child as much as you.

Great parenting is not the same thing as perfect parenting. Great parenting starts with true self-compassion, the kind that means you don't judge yourself. Harnessing this self-compassion is the key to giving yourself a break and embracing your best qualities as a parent.

ATTENTION: This episode touches on sensitive topics such as poverty, homelessness, parental mental illness and foster care. Listener discretion is advised.

For my guest David and his two siblings, their mother's paranoid schizophrenia brought with it poverty, violence, and instability. They traveled through New York and neighboring areas seeking shelter: they found it in train stations, 24-hour diners, anywhere warm and dry. The first 11 years of his life he was homeless, then he was placed in foster care. At first, it felt like salvation but soon proved to be just as unsafe for him.

As a gay child, David's coming-off age is fusrther marked by anti-gay abuse at the hands of caregiovers and therpists.

David Ambroz is a national poverty and child welfare expert and advocate. He was recognized by President Obama as an American Champion of Change. He currently serves as the Head of Community Engagement (West) for Amazon, coordinating with non-profits and community leaders for social good. Previously he led Corporate Social Responsibility for Walt Disney Television, and served as the President of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission, and as a California Child Welfare Councilmember.

SOME KEY POINTS

• What is home? Where is home?
• What people get right and get wrong about childhood poverty
• How to create ground-up change in foster care system
• How to encourage more educated, middle-class families to foster
• Effective ways anyone can help improve the lives of foster kids
