  • The Help Toddler's Need With Aggressive Behavior

    The Help Toddler's Need With Aggressive Behavior
    Jul 22 2025

    Janet responds to 3 messages from listeners who say their kids exhibit aggressive or violent behavior towards their peers, in one case "pushing, hitting, or attacking faces, sometimes without warning." While all these parents recognize that fatigue and other discomforts can contribute to this behavior, it often seems that their kids lash out for no reason at all. These parents have come to distrust their kids in social situations and are at their wit's end, worried they've done something wrong. "I feel like we have tried everything, and nothing is working. I just cry now because I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Janet offers insights that she hopes will ease these parents' minds as it helps them understand their children's behavior and respond in a manner that effectively changes it.

  • The Bad Advice I Gave About Toilet Training

    The Bad Advice I Gave About Toilet Training
    Jul 15 2025

    In a previous "Unruffled" episode, Janet offered advice to a parent who was struggling with potty training. That parent wrote back recently to announce her daughter's 4-year saga had finally come to a successful conclusion... it was NOT the result of the parents following Janet's advice, but going full speed ahead in the opposite direction. In this episode, Janet revisits the guidance she originally offered, and explains why she believes her advice was unhelpful to this family.

  • Calming Our Reactivity to Children's Irritating, Demanding Behaviors

    Calming Our Reactivity to Children's Irritating, Demanding Behaviors
    Jul 8 2025

    In this popular encore episode, a parent writes that she’s overwhelmed by her two girls constantly demanding her attention, following her around their home and calling “Mommy! Mommy!” even if they are in the same room. “It’s driving me mad,” she writes. “It’s like a dripping tap. It is getting to the point where I just want to scream.” This mom notices that the girls don’t have this dynamic with their father. In fact, even if he is sitting beside them and she is in another room, they still call to her. Understandably, she feels drained and wonders if Janet can tell her what she’s doing wrong.

I am looking forward to apply this method with my 4 year old. We have not been very pushy but now I know what to apply and what things are not helpful.

Respectful method

This entire podcast is always in my back pocket when I need help. I turn to you and your gentle approach and child centered views instead of calling my mother for help. You have gotten me through the foggy postpartum days helping me see that I am not alone, through teething and milestones, to bedtimes and potty training, some tricky behaviors and the occasional self doubt - you really have been one of my best mom friends during the loneliest times and pandemic. The one thing I take away from this podcast time and time again is often times the problem is me... it is my expectation of how I want things to go or my child to behave and often times it is my discomfort that is the problem, to let my child feel their feelings and THAT is normal and I need to regulate myself to be the calm one they look to. Moments when they get upset with me, I know those are moments when I am being the BEST parent, setting boundaries and teaching them what is acceptable behavior. You helped heal my inner child and also break some generational cycles. Thank you for your endless work and spreading your passion for Magda Gerber's work.

Would be lost without you!

I’m amazed at how in tune Janet is with her listeners and our children. She knows exactly how to explain dilemmas and solutions in an easy to follow, easy to understand way. I listen to every single episode but this one especially helped expand my view as a parent and care giver to my child. Please please please listen if you care for children. This will change how you treat yourself, your children and people you come in contact with which will only add to making our world a happier, better place.
