  Feb 1, 202613 minS0

  <p>Many parents quietly believe that needing help means they’re failing.</p> <p>In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, I gently challenge that idea and offer a much healthier reframe: getting support isn’t giving up – it’s showing up for yourself and your child.</p> <p>If you’ve ever felt guilty for asking for help, struggled to do everything on your own, or worried that seeking support means you “should be coping better,” this episode is for you.</p> <p>In This Episode, We Talk About:</p> Why so many parents believe they should cope alone<br> How...

  Episode 125: Behaviour Is Communication – And It Gets Louder When We Don’t Listen

  Jan 25, 202612 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, we explore a powerful idea every parent needs to understand: behaviour is communication.</p> <p>When children don’t yet have the words or skills to explain how they’re feeling, they use behaviour to send the message for them. And just like adults, when that message isn’t heard, it doesn’t disappear, it gets louder.</p> <p>We talk about:</p> Why big, challenging behaviour is often a sign of unmet needs, not bad behaviour<br><br> How emotional overwhelm, lack of control, or difficulty with regulation can show up as ru...

  Dec 28, 202513 minS0

  Episode 123: That Quiet Feeling You Keep Ignoring

  Dec 21, 202515 minS0

  <p>Have you ever had a small, uncomfortable feeling that something isn’t quite right for your child – and then immediately talked yourself out of it?</p> <p>In this episode, I talk about that quiet gut feeling many parents have and why it matters. The one that whispers “something’s off” even when others say, “They’ll grow out of it” or *“You’re overthinking it.”</p> <p>Drawing on my work as a psychologist, I unpack why parental intuition is information, not overreaction. We explore why it’s so easy to dismiss our concerns, how this can delay support, and why listeni...

  Episode 122: Why kids learn to act out for attention (and how to turn it around), with Dr Larry Waldman

  Dec 14, 202551 minS0

  <p>When your child seems to be “acting out just for attention,” it can feel frustrating, personal, and endless. In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, I’m joined by US psychologist Dr Larry Waldman to unpack what’s really going on underneath “attention-seeking” behaviour – and how parents can respond in a calmer, more effective way.</p> <p>Drawing on decades of work with children, teens, and families, Dr Waldman explains the behavioural approach to parenting in simple, practical terms. We talk about why kids quickly learn that certain behaviours get a big reaction, how a negative attention cycle develops at ho...
