I love the question and answer format. As a Dad to a 13 year old and 10 year old, I want to be the best I can be. Lisa’s book and this podcast are helping me. Thank you!
Lisa is great, but she needs a new sidekick

Reena Ninan may be talented, but she’s an obnoxious cohost. She fakes dumb, talks down to the parenting audience, and I find myself skipping over anything she has to say.
Thank you!

I love this podcast as a helpful guide as my children are about to enter their teenage years. Dr. Lisa Damour helps me differentiate between normal pre-teen behavior and things that are more concerning. Your variety of topics are wonderful and I find myself searching for past shows to address specific issues as they arise. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Great episode! However I am a little surprised at how surprised Reena was about the idea of letting kids deal with the consequences of their own bad choices. Can we hear more about natural consequences (I’m a huge fan of Love & Logic parenting)? Also, I love what Lisa said about a parent’s willingness to be “disliked” or have the kid be mad at you. It’s how we parent. I feel like schools & society would be so much better if more parents were ok with having their kids “not happy” with them. More of this, please!
