Life changing - parent's best friend

This show has the power to change many young (and old) lives for the better. I've never gone in for parenting books but this podcast is something different altogether.

Very appreciative

The combination of research-based information with these cultural and personal examples from the hosts available in this format is sort of "buying me time" to reflect as a parent.

As parenting never stops it's very precious time and had already assisted in some tricky situations.

Thank you.

I recommend pop culture parenting to anyone and everyone!

I regret not listening to this 2 years ago when my friend first suggested it, these guys are doing life changing work with the podcast, not only has it helped change the way I parent my child, it has also helped start the healing process of my own childhood. I am not an overly emotional person but I either tear up or cry several times during these episodes. Just give it a try, what do you have to lose?
