Parent Like A Psychologist

Episode 123: That Quiet Feeling You Keep Ignoring


Listen Later

Have you ever had a small, uncomfortable feeling that something isn’t quite right for your child – and then immediately talked yourself out of it?

In this episode, I talk about that quiet gut feeling many parents have and why it matters. The one that whispers “something’s off” even when others say, “They’ll grow out of it” or *“You’re overthinking it.”

Drawing on my work as a psychologist, I unpack why parental intuition is information, not overreaction. We explore why it’s so easy to dismiss our concerns, how this can delay support, and why listening earlier can actually reduce stress for both you and your child.

This episode is especially helpful if you’re wondering:

  • Whether your child’s struggles are “normal” or need support

  • If you’re overreacting or actually picking up on something important

  • When the right time is to ask for help

  • Why that uneasy feeling keeps coming back

    You’ll also be guided through gentle reflection questions to help you tune into what your gut may be trying to tell you – about your child and about what you need as a parent.

    If you’ve been thinking, “Do I need help?”,  that question alone might already be your answer.

    🎧 Listen now and give yourself permission to trust what you already know.
    If this episode stirs something for you, explore support early. Small, gentle steps can make a big difference.
