About ParentTalk
Do you feel like you spend too many hours struggling with your child over simple, silly things? Are you yelling, threatening, or bribing your child when you really don’t want to? The ParentTalk Podcast offers practical suggestions that really work! Based on our years of experience, we offer real-life strategies and realistic language techniques that help you deal with daily challenges ranging from toilet mastery to conflicts surrounding eating, behavior, and following rules.
No one parenting strategy works for every family in every situation. Each child is unique and even siblings will challenge parents in different ways and require different responses. There are, however, overarching principles which can guide parents in those responses. The ParentTalk Podcast provides the tools and practical insights to interact with your child consistently, effectively, and positively.
