Raising Good Humans

There’s so much wonderful useful information in these episodes and I think it’s ridiculous that so many people are against or uncomfortable with the amount of ads, don’t worry I personally use the time to think about and process the information while simultaneously passively listening and appreciating the ads that you choose to list. I support your show wholeheartedly and hope to someday contribute in some way aside from liking and sharing which I do often. Keep up the good work and find solace in the fact this is so tremendously helpful and inspiring. Thank you. :)

Some of the advice in this podcast is really helpful, such as identifying child types (orchid & dandelion) to gain understanding and compassion. BUT some advice is just not practical. In particular, the episode about asking our children to do something and respecting their answer. Nobody wants to clean up their things. I don’t even want do certain things, but if I don’t, it can negatively affect those around me. For example, the laundry or the dishes. I don’t want to do these things, but if I say “no thanks,” to these chores, then we won’t have any clean plates or clean clothes. My actions affect other people. In the same way, my child’s actions affect those around them. Sometimes, the things that are going to negatively affect others the most need to be changed. Hitting, biting, throwing, by any reasonable means, and cleaning up, out of courtesy of others. I have 4 kids in my household; we do not have the time or endless patience to cater to each individual’s “no thanks, I don’t want to do that.” For all that, I still enjoy this podcast but think it’s important for me to consider which information to hold onto and which to let go- as with any podcast.

After hundreds of episodes and a public-facing career — and ten years into the podcast boom — I expected higher quality. Instead, each episode sounds like Dr. Aliza’s first time at a mic. She has no script, she stumbles through questions, there’s no ad music or seemingly any editing of any kind. Her guests sound like they’re on speakerphone. You can hear her turning pages and swallowing. It sounds like she’s alone in her closet — or sometimes under a blanket. How can a podcast this popular sound so bad? I hope she improves the quality, because her content is useful and well-considered.
