Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive

Your Parenting Mojo offers a deeply researched and empathetic guide for parents navigating the complexities of child-rearing from infancy through middle school. Hosted by Jen Lumanlan, M.S., M.Ed., the podcast meticulously dissects academic research on child development and parenting, often reviewing dozens of peer-reviewed sources and interviewing leading experts. It goes beyond surface-level advice, exploring the 'why' behind child behavior and parental reactions, emphasizing that behavior is an attempt to meet needs. Recurring themes include respectful parenting, emotional regulation for parents (addressing guilt, anger, and overwhelm), fostering connection, and challenging societal norms that impact family life. This podcast is ideal for parents seeking evidence-based strategies, a deeper understanding of child psychology, and practical tools to cultivate a more collaborative and less stressful family environment, empowering them to move from reactive parenting to intentional, informed action.
