“I first started listening to this podcast because it offered actionable and evidence based parenting advice. Since then it’s evolved into commentary on systemic problems from a social justice angle. If that’s your thing, great, but if you’re using this as a parenting guide you’re going to be...”Read full review »

“There’s so much I love about this podcast. A recent episode on patriarchy was phenomenal. I do have to admit that there are times I’ve had to stop listening because I find the host’s laughter inappropriate. I don’t want to curb her joyful expression, but when a researcher is sharing information...”Read full review »

“This is awesome! Thank you Jen, so much, for this podcast. I would never have the time to read 1% of these books and studies that you are researching for us. I feel a much more relaxed, confident and happy mother since binging a fair few episodes of your podcast over the last couple of weeks”

“Great information, and ripe with sound academic research. The format is reading a pre-written script that often sounds like a paper, and is read so incredibly fast that it’s challenging to follow, even when research is your jam. The sentences are edited so close together, there’s not even a...”Read full review »

“This podcast is about parenting in the best way, it is about being a better human. Yes, so you end up raising a better human, but you have to evolve and understand all these fairly complicated things. She gets the most knowledgeable and interviews them extremely well. I share it often, with...”Read full review »

“To preface this - I’m a nanny, not a parent. But I have made a career out of being a nanny, and have worked hard to command a fairly demanding wage. I do so by ensuring my caregiving practices are respectful, science based, and deeply researched. This podcast is basically a dream come true -...”Read full review »

“I agree with other reviewers. As a child researcher myself, this podcast is all about feminism, perpetuating the idea of “white guilt,” and very little as actual, scientific, unbiased research. Disappointed.”
