    How to Truly Connect When You Correct
    May 12 2026
    A mother has questions about her three-year-old son's impulsive, dysregulated behavior and the differences in the way she and her husband are handling it. She handles these moments calmly and gently, while her husband tends to be firmer, requires the child to correct his actions, and uses language like "don't be destructive." She’s concerned that his response crosses a line from setting healthy limits into causing shame. He feels their son is more likely to act out when she’s around and is more likely to listen and behave more calmly in his company. Janet offers her perspective on what both parents may be missing.

    We Can't Make Them Share
    Apr 28 2026
    A parent describes a deceptively simple disagreement with her father about her 2.5-year-old son's unwillingness to share a bowl of blueberries. This mom doesn't believe a child will develop a generous spirit or other positive character traits by being coerced, but her father's more authoritarian view differs. Janet points out the nuances of the situation, which touch on big questions about sharing, boundaries, and raising kids who genuinely want to be kind.

I've listened to Janet's books and quite a few of these podcasts, it's absolutely life changing. I've implented a lot of the advice given for my nearly 3 year old and we are seeing some fantastic results, he also seems so much happier and connected to me, I haven't lost my temper in months, even his dad is picking up and implementing the things I'm doing and their relationship is even stronger now too. Overall, I'm going to keep listening and following Janet's advice. I love that they're small bite sized information, which I find very easy to digest and put into practice. Thankyou janet!

Life changing advice!

I absolutely adore this podcast, it's changing our lives. but why, after 266 episodes, are new episodes "no longer included in my membership"?? are you guys at audible seriously saying I need to use a £7.99 credit EVERY TIME I want to listen to a half hour episode?! That's ridiculous, I'm baffled and annoyed 😒

New episodes suddenly unavailable??
