  • We Can't Make Them Share

    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.

  • 3 Reasons Your Toddler Rejects You for Their Other Parent

    3 Reasons Your Toddler Rejects You for Their Other Parent
    Apr 21 2026
    When a toddler plays favorites, it stings. One parent writes: "It feels as if I'm being rejected when I'm the one who's with her all day, putting so much energy into her care. It make me feel that I'm insufficient as a parent." Janet unpacks the surprising reasons behind parent preference —and the mindset that makes it stop.

This entire podcast is always in my back pocket when I need help. I turn to you and your gentle approach and child centered views instead of calling my mother for help. You have gotten me through the foggy postpartum days helping me see that I am not alone, through teething and milestones, to bedtimes and potty training, some tricky behaviors and the occasional self doubt - you really have been one of my best mom friends during the loneliest times and pandemic. The one thing I take away from this podcast time and time again is often times the problem is me... it is my expectation of how I want things to go or my child to behave and often times it is my discomfort that is the problem, to let my child feel their feelings and THAT is normal and I need to regulate myself to be the calm one they look to. Moments when they get upset with me, I know those are moments when I am being the BEST parent, setting boundaries and teaching them what is acceptable behavior. You helped heal my inner child and also break some generational cycles. Thank you for your endless work and spreading your passion for Magda Gerber's work.

Would be lost without you!

I’m amazed at how in tune Janet is with her listeners and our children. She knows exactly how to explain dilemmas and solutions in an easy to follow, easy to understand way. I listen to every single episode but this one especially helped expand my view as a parent and care giver to my child. Please please please listen if you care for children. This will change how you treat yourself, your children and people you come in contact with which will only add to making our world a happier, better place.

I am looking forward to apply this method with my 4 year old. We have not been very pushy but now I know what to apply and what things are not helpful.
