What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Fresh Take: Gwenna Laithland, "Momma Cusses"


Listen Later

What is the happy parenting medium between raising our kids with zero boundaries, and yelling until we're blue in the face? Gwenna Laithland is creator of the wildly popular @mommacusses on TikTok and Instagram, and author of the new book Momma Cusses: A Field Guide to Responsive Parenting & Trying Not to Be the Reason Your Kid Needs Therapy.

Gwenna explains in this interview how she eventually found her way to what she calls "responsive parenting." We also discuss:

  • why there's no such thing as a "parenting expert"
  • how responsive parenting helps parents become more intentional, empathetic, and emotionally available
  • how helping kids regulate their emotions has to start with our modeling how to regulate our own .
