Episode notes

Have you ever followed what you thought was good parenting and common sense, only to see later on an Instagram post saying it's wrong? And then felt worried or guilty about it?

Every day, I hear questions from concerned parents who are lost in the noise just like you. From sleep schedules to baby-led weaning to programs that promise a potty-trained tot in just 3 days - I've met many moms who've felt like bad parents for not following something they've been told to do.

So how do you know what advice is right for you and your family? It can be overwhelming to sift through all the conflicting information and figure out what will work best for you. That's where the Discerning Parenting podcast comes in. We'll help you make informed parenting decisions by providing you with research-backed insights, and by helping you use them in a way that fits your own unique situation and your child's needs.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

The criteria you should be looking for when deciding whether or not parenting advice you hear makes sense for you.
How to fact-check any piece of advice, no matter the source.
The absolute most important question you should be asking yourself when deciding to try a new parenting technique.
