    Letting Our Kids Be Kids
    Jan 6 2025
    Structured activities. Monitored playdates. Helicopter parenting. Have we lost the ability to let our kids discover the world on their own? Many believe that free play is a great solution for both child and parent, but what exactly does healthy free play look like for toddlers and young children? Lenore Skenazy, author and co-founder of Let Grow, explains how allowing children to be more independent will give them skills and confidence that will last a lifetime. Then, in our Parenting Story of the Day, Allison Schwalm talks about how daughter struggled with separation anxiety until she found a unique playgroup. The first day she dropped her daughter off, something magical happened. You can also watch this podcast on YouTube and reach us at podcast@munchkin.com.

  • Why Do We Compare Our Kids to Others?

    Why Do We Compare Our Kids to Others?
    Dec 23 2024
    Every parent does it – but doesn’t want to admit it. We compare our child to other children or even their siblings. We also know that our “comparing” comes from a deep place of concern. We worry: Are they hitting important developmental milestones? Is there a problem? Maybe everything will be OK eventually? Lynn and Justin explore this “secret” parenting topic with Dr. Tina Bryson, a psychotherapist, mother, and the co-author of two of the most definitive books on child development and parenting – The New York Times bestseller “The Whole-Brain Child” and “No-Drama Discipline.” Dr. Bryson gives us the practical guidance that every parent needs when we dare to compare. Then, in our Parenting Story of the Day, we’ll hear from a mom who noticed that her son was different from other kids. What did she do? She embraced it. You can also watch this podcast on YouTube and reach us at podcast@munchkin.com. Dr. Tina Bryson / IG / FB / LinkedIn / YouTube / X / The Way of Play Book Dr. Bryson is a psychotherapist, speaker, mother and the Founder/Executive Director of The Center for Connection (“CFC”), a multidisciplinary clinical practice; of The Play Strong Institute, a center devoted to the study, research, and practice of play therapy through a neurodevelopment lens; and The Center for Connection and Neurodiversity, a wing of the CFC devoted to celebrating neurodifferences and providing brain-based occupational therapy across the lifespan. She is also the co-author (with Dan Siegel) of two New York Times bestsellers, “The Whole-Brain Child” and “No-Drama Discipline” each of which has been translated into over fifty languages with “The Whole-Brain Child” selling over a million copies.
