Learning Curve with Mr. Chazz

I’m so delighted to see this podcast back in my Up Next selection. Highly recommend to give it a listen if you have any little ones in your life. Even teens! I find the information and research he provides to be really digestible and so helpful when navigating care-giving for a 5 year old and as a therapist to adolescents. Very refreshing content.

While so much of this work is important and impactful, I have concerns for Mr Chazz’s authenticity and integrity. He recently posted a video of a child without consent- parents were not made aware that he had access to their children at daycare, let alone that he was filming their interactions. What could have been a simple oversight became a red flag when he was asked by the daycare administrator to remove the video. He did, but left it up elsewhere despite being informed of the harm it was causing the family of the child. He has continued to delete comments by family members asking him to remove it or consider other ways of making his point, or AT LEAST not posting children’s faces (very least you can do, still problematic). If Mr Chazz knows these videos are causing harm to a child, why on earth would he leave them up? Requests to remove the post have been kind and supportive, but the response is a major red flag for me for anyone taking parenting advice from someone unable to receive or acknowledge feedback regarding a conflict

Mr. Chazz creates much-needed discussion with and open mind and heart, meeting parents where they are at and nurturing growth.

Great Instagram. I’ll stick to that. The episodes start with an excerpt that makes you feel like you accidentally started in the middle of an episode. Then it swings wildly back to the actual beginning. Cuts and editing are awkwardly done. Audio quality is lacking. Frequently Mr. Chazz seems underwhelmed or even confrontational with the interviewee. After a half dozen or so, I have to bail even though the actual content is beneficial.
