About this episode

Jamie Glowacki discusses how parenting challenges often stem from the parents or the environment rather than the child, and offers support for overwhelmed mothers.

It's so easy to think our kids need fixing....but it's almost always an US problem or an environment problem. Most parenting "scripts" don't work because they're attempting to fix the child. Behavior is always communication and it's our job to translate that. ⁠If motherhood is making you overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burnt tf out, I can help. You may know me as the author of Oh Crap Potty Training and Oh Crap, I Have a Toddler but in the last few years, I've been obsessed with moms...and they are not okay. My work has veered off into helping moms find ease and confidence in their mothering. If you are struggling, check out Happy Mom, my online community supporting moms into a more fun motherhood.
