This is one of my favourite podcasts on parenting. As its name suggests, Calm Parenting is all about remaining calm while parenting. Founder Kirk Martin gives very specific and practical strategies on discipline without escalating situations, managing defiance, sibling fights and getting kids to listen the first time. Kirk also includes topics for parenting children with ADHD, Anxiety, ASD and SPD.

Despite the repetitive marketing messages, I have found the strategies and perspectives helpful especially when my ten year old is arguing like an attorney.

Stay calm here.


Unruffled – Respectful Parenting

Unruffled is the podcast for parents wanting to find out more and practise respectful parenting. Janet Lansbury is touted to be the go-to on respectful parenting and she explains how to set parental limits when needed while focusing on respect for the child and accepting emotions and development.
