“Janet’s RIE approach resonates with me and I can’t thank her enough for the change in perspective I have gained! Her voice is excellent, and she is thoughtful. I am a psychiatrist with training and psychodynamic therapy, and her approach has a psychodynamic sensibility.”

“Been listening for years, my husband and I have learned so much from Janet and RIE (including via this this podcast ). Janet is love to hear more on older kids (even though you say that’s not your specialty). I enjoyed what you had to say about older kids a few episodes back and it left me...”Read full review »

“As a Pediatrician in practice for 20 years, I am always on the lookout for podcasts I can recommend to parents in my practice. I was super concerned but still willing to give this one a chance. My BIG concern was that Ms. Lansbury has no medical or professional training except her own parenting...”Read full review »

“She doesn’t really give any real advice, just goes in circles about listening to your child. Not very helpful. Also she sounds like she needs to take a gas-x like she’s constantly releasing gas (burping) while she talks.”

“While I love the overall philosophy here, the delivery is rough. She reads through the emails from parents as if holding back laughter about how dumb they are that they don’t know what’s so obvious to her (the expert). It comes across very condescending and I would be mortified to have a sincere...”Read full review »

“The most recent episode with Gabriel Mate just left me feeling really bad and like I’m failing at parenting. I think most of Janet’s listeners are conscientious parents who love our kids and are trying as hard as we can to do things right. But advice like this feels so shaming. Never use any...”Read full review »

“I find it profoundly disappointing that Gabor Mate, someone who considers himself an expert in the field of attachment, doesn’t have the courage to tell parents the importance of prioritizing being with their children in those early years (0-3 years old). Of course, for some parents (e.g., very...”Read full review »

“This has become my favourite parenting podcasts. You will get a lot of honest and relevant tips on emotional personal growth for the parent which I think is often the missing focus in parenting.
