From teaching manners and talking through big feelings, to modeling the behavior they want to see in the world, these two are thinking about the long game. Because at the end of the day, the goal isn't just surviving the chaos — it's changing the next generation.

29 min - Two Child Therapists on Common Parenting Dilemmas: Screens, Co-Parenting, Holidays and MoreIn this week’s episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer shares how she first realized Calvin's nightly stomachaches weren't always physical, and what happened when she finally reached out to therapists Sissy Goff and David Thomas for help.The authors of Capable and co-hosts of Raising Boys and Girls break down the anxiety epidemic hitting kids earlier than ever: what the warning signs actually look like, why boys need to move before they can breathe through it, and how a calm down corner changed everything for Calvin.They also tackle the harder stuff — co-parenting after divorce, the "Parent Trap" phenomenon, and the screen time conversation nobody wins. Plus a rapid-fire "big deal or small deal" round covering secret social media accounts, lying about why you can't get a pet, having a favorite child, and kids who just will not stop fighting.

What does modern parenting look like when both parents are living their lives online?
In this week’s The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Bachelor alum Nick Viall and his wife Natalie Joy — surgical tech turned influencer, hosts of The Viall Files and Netflix's Age of Attraction — as they navigate life as parents to two-year-old River and twins on the way.

28 min - Advice for Anxious Parents: What to Say Instead of "Are You Okay?"In this week’s The Parent Chat, clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Wendy Mogel joins Dylan Dreyer to make the case that our instinct to protect, schedule, and smooth everything over for our kids is actually making them more fragile — and what to do instead.They get into the real stuff: why "teacup" kids break under the lightest pressure, how to tell if your child's fighting with siblings is normal or a problem, and why the working parent guilt about overscheduling is largely misplaced. Plus the two words Dr. Mogel says every parent should know — "wow" and "uffda" — and why Dylan's been using one of them her whole life without knowing what it meant.And Dr. Mogel's parenting confession: she sent her sick daughter to ski school in Italy with a broken thermometer. The daughter ended up hallucinating that her fingers were chicken bones. She's never forgiven herself — even though her daughters call her a really good mom.Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause, for an honest conversation about what it really means to step back from your career for your kids, and how to do it without losing your sense of self.
They dig into the questions parents actually wrestle with: How do you know if pausing is right for you? What do you do with yourself when the external metrics of success disappear? And if you can't pause — what then?
Plus: why your career has zero impact on your kids (but presence does), the comparison trap that hits hardest at the playground, and Neha's parenting win — nailing the sex talk so thoroughly her son was horrified she'd done it twice.
