On this episode of Childproof, Parasocial Parenting, we discuss if our kids are actually growing up to be villains and how to successfully tell our children they actually suck. (Well, not that they suck but that their book is really very bad.) There’s a muddy bit in the beginning where we distracted ourselves with weather but if you slog through that bit, it gets better.

Ever feel like the days bleed together and you’re not sure how time works anymore? That’s how Tori and Gwenna felt most of the summer. Tuesday? What is that? Feels fake. But now that school is back in session, time has gone less wibbly wobbly. It’s not making more sense because it’s still kids and those, generally speaking, rarely make sense. (Well, by adult standards anyway, but we aren’t ready for that conversation…). Also for the record, Gwenna would like it known these Show descriptions have begun to blur and she no longer knows what she’s supposed to be doing with them. Hence this one looking like…*this*?

Don't worry, the freezer section is overwhelming for us too. In this episode, Gwenna and Tori address tantrums, explaining why they can occur and sharing creative ways they have worked through them. To assist with this, Tori introduces their "Toddler Grief Theory" which raises the question... When was the last time you felt a completely new emotion? They also discuss the judgment of others when dealing with tantrums in public, and they both agree that they would prefer to be criticized for loving their children rather than yelling at them.

Hey kid, you're going to be okay. In this episode, Gwenna and Tori chat about using the phrase "You're okay" with their kids, because sometimes your kids actually are okay.

Disclaimer! Mom rants ahead (but don’t worry, we’re not judging you). We are all about ranting here at Childproof because ranting is regulation and in this episode, Gwenna and Tori bring you the best and worst of their mom rants.
