    Feeling Unloved, Rejected, Worried About Your Relationship with Your Child? Try This...

    Janet shares a success story from a parent who describes her shame, heartbreak, "the heavy emotional load" she carried for the first 4 years of her son's life as he vehemently rejected her care, preferring his father. After reading one of Janet's articles, this mom began to see her son's behavior in a whole new light and improve her situation almost immediately. "I am now confident that whatever happens—whatever my son will throw at me (even when he hits puberty)—I can handle it."

    My Child Refuses Independent Play

    My Child Refuses Independent Play

    With our most loving intentions as parents, we might find ourselves stuck in a full-time role we never wanted—as our child's playmate and entertainer. In this episode, a mom asks Janet for advice regarding her "bright, busy, extroverted four-year-old girl who loves having my complete attention.” Unfortunately, this parent is feeling she really needs some time to herself, but when she tries to take a break, her daughter is unwilling to let her go and seems anxious and insecure, as if this is a personal rejection.

Love your work and thank you

This has become my favourite parenting podcasts. You will get a lot of honest and relevant tips on emotional personal growth for the parent which I think is often the missing focus in parenting.

Give it a try and you will come back for more.

So grounding and I learn so much

Every time I find myself returning back to this podcast I wonder why I don’t listen to it daily.
It’s incredible and so grounding.

Absolutely essential parenting resource

I (respectfully) recommend this podcast to any new parent who asks me for 'tips'. I wish I had known about this before I had my kids,it would have made the early years so much easier. You do not have to agree with everything she says, but 99% is completely logical once you hear it explained from the RIE standpoint. The concepts are closely linked to other ones you may already use, such as active listening, non-violent communication etc. I also find it comforting to just listen to her go over the same concepts over and over as it's so hard to remember to do it all in practice, even years later.
