A mom describes the constant struggle between her 4.5-year-old and 2.5-year-old, which often includes yelling, biting, and hitting. “Lately,” she writes, “it’s been extra wild to the point where I’m canceling plans because my own tolerance for all the screaming and chaos has run out.” Janet sees these common sibling and peer struggles as important catalysts for gaining social skills for all of life’s relationships. She offers 7 hints to ease sibling conflict and help kids learn from it, starting with a shift in our perspective that may bring parents real peace of mind.

When toddlers are in resistance mode, simple routines like bathing, bedtime, buckling into a car seat, or holding hands near traffic become daily struggles. One mother writes that her two-year-old’s constant, intense resistance “is overwhelming. I find myself in physical struggles with her several times a day, and it feels awful… I feel as though we're going through some kind of crisis in our relationship.” Another parent wonders whether reading to her almost two-year old son through his bedtime meltdowns helps him or only postpones his feelings. Janet offers a perspective that reframes these emotional storms and explores the role boundaries play in helping children through them.

A parent describes her past year as “brutal” and lists a series of traumatic life events. “I am not okay,” she admits. She says she doesn’t have the energy to remain unruffled when dealing with her kids and feels that she is failing them. While this mom is taking all the right steps to restore herself and find balance in her life, she wonders if Janet has advice about how to manage her needs and those of her children. “It’s not my magnificent kids’ fault,” she writes. “How do I make this time of failure less bad for my kids?” In this encore episode, Janet offers some insights and practical steps this mom can take to address her dilemma.

When our kids won't go with the flow of the day and seem to push back on everything, it's often because they're sitting on feelings they can't easily express. In this episode, Janet responds to a note from a parent whose nine-year-old son won't respond to requests to shower, brush his teeth, do simple chores, or get dressed and ready for school. At the same time, this boy has been remarkably articulate in describing his feelings about being “a middle child," being replaced and losing his parents’ attention. Despite his parents’ efforts to make him feel loved, his hurt seems to surface as anger and resistance. Janet offers advice for addressing the situation and shares a revelation about her own nine-year-old daughter’s distress during a transition. Please support our sponsors!

What do we do when our kids seem stuck on repeat—like when they keep asking us the same question over and over or making the same demand? Even on our best days, their persistence can quickly wear us down. We respond once calmly, twice firmly, and by the third time all bets are off. We've lost our patience. Janet responds to a mom whose four-year-old repeats the same list of requests every morning. She explores why kids get stuck in these patterns and how getting everyone unstuck is simpler than we might imagine. Please support our sponsors!

In this episode, Janet shares updates from parents whose concerns she has addressed in recent episodes — one about a preschooler’s escalating meltdowns at drop-off; another about a toddler pulling her own hair when overwhelmed; and a third about a two-and-a-half-year-old becoming increasingly fearful of seemingly random things. The parents’ follow-up letters offer a candid look at what helped, what changed, and what these parents discovered when they approached their children’s struggles in a new way.

A parent writes that her mother is constantly asking her bright 17-month-old to perform and grows frustrated when he doesn’t oblige. The truth is, we often think connecting with kids means entertaining them, getting them to laugh or, as in this grandparent's case, encouraging them to show us what they can do. Yet, real connection is much easier and more organic than that. It is about paying attention, listening, and genuinely taking in who our children are. Janet explores why asking children to perform can get in the way of deeper connection—and how doing less and trusting more can foster more authentic relationships.
