We have a lot to say about parenting—our philosophies, reflections on how we were raised, and what aspects of parenting we like best and least. We draw parenting inspiration from many resources, but here are the ones we mentioned in the show:

• Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne
• How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber and Julie King
• RIE philosophy
