Project Parenthood
QuickAndDirtyTips.com
Project Parenthood, hosted by clinical psychologist and respectful parenting advocate Dr. Nanika Coor, offers a refreshing alternative to traditional parenting advice. We believe raising the next generation involves fostering intentional, collaborative relationships with all children—whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor, or caregiver.
Each week, we dive into the depths of childhood, giving voice to young people and exploring their complex humanity. Through real conversations, expert insights, and a commitment to intergenerational healing, we'll learn how to empower children, approach them with curiosity, and build inclusive communities where every child, especially those from marginalized groups, feels seen, heard, and understood. Join us as we work together to create a world where children thrive and understand one another, breaking harmful cycles and building a future of empathy and respect. Because if trauma can be passed down, so can mental wellness and collective understanding.

Rethink time out: support your child with time ins
Filling a child’s proverbial “empty emotional cup” with connection can feel extremely difficult when your child is experiencing big feelings or displaying concerning behaviors. Parents are often advised to impose a “time out” in moments like these - but traditional time-outs don’t actually reduce concerning behaviors or help kids modulate their emotions. In this episode Dr. Coor offers non-punitive ways to be the Safe Haven that your child needs in order to learn to cope with their big feelings rather than resort to big behaviors.
