Parenting For The Present
84 episodes - English - Latest episode: 20 days ago -Do you have this whole parenting thing figured out? Are you the perfect parent? Neither are they. Drs. Early Denison, Matthew Housson and Andy Stoker are three dads but, together, have nearly sixty years of experience cultivating the minds, bodies, and spirits of children, parents, and families through their work as a pediatrician, a clinical psychologist, and a minister. Their goal is to help you raise kids who can thrive in this complex, messy, beautiful world.

Fairness with Andy, Matthew, and Early
June 20, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 52.2 MBFairness - from about age 3 onward, we as a species seem enamored with it.

How To Raise A Boy with Dr. Michael Reichert
January 03, 2022 10:00 - 45 minutes - 104 MBIt's easy for parents of a boy to reason that their number one job is to turn him into a good man. And while the heart behind that sentiment is pure, it can lead to approaches that are less than helpful in achieving that goal.

While some of these methods are good and right, others are ineffective or even hurtful. This conundrum called out to Dr. Michael Re...

How To Raise An Adult with Julie Lythcott-Haims
October 25, 2021 09:00 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MBInvariably, we all want what is best for our children. As parents, we would give anything for them to be happy, successful, and fulfilled.

Thrivers with Dr. Michele Borba
March 29, 2021 09:00 - 43 minutes - 49.4 MBIf we were to boil down our hopes and dreams for our children into one word, it would be hard to think of a better one than 'thrive'. No matter the specifics, we want to see our kids be happy, healthy, and successful.
