Authentic Parenting

Dr. Ross Greene breaks down why more kids are struggling today and why it's not just social media's fault. He explains developmental variability, why meeting kids where they are isn't lowering expectations, and what really drives anxiety, depression, and distress in children. A must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone who cares about the next generation.

What is mental health? What is a diagnosis? Are ADHD and autism genetic? And what happens to families when every struggle gets a label?
In this provocative conversation, veteran child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Sami Timimi challenges many widely held assumptions about children's distress, resilience, and the role of experts. You may not agree with everything you hear — but if you're willing to stay open and curious, you'll gain a radically different lens on big emotions, learn how to support children without immediately turning them into patients, and discover ways to nurture resilience and confidence in everyday life.

In this special 10-year celebration, I'm joined by a small group of longtime listeners to reflect on what we've learned about becoming better parents. Together, we explore powerful lessons from a decade of podcasting, including the role of self-compassion, the importance of repair, emotion regulation, and deeper truths about trauma and healing. This honest, thoughtful conversation represents the voices of the broader Authentic Parenting community and a reminder that meaningful change happens when we learn and grow together.

To close the 10-year anniversary series, I'm sharing the very first episode of the Authentic Parenting podcast, recorded in 2015 and lost for many years. Listening back, I was surprised that it began with such a humble and honest conversation about overwhelm in the lives of busy mothers. 
Thank you for being part of the Authentic Parenting global community.
