Parents of the Year
We were never given a manual on how to parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed to know the right thing to do. There is so much contradictory information out there and everyone has their own advice. Parenting is a rewarding but messy, confusing, infuriating, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming journey. While it's easy to get lost, Andrew Stewart, a real dad, and Dr. Caroline Buzanko, a real mom, child psychologist, and parenting expert (who also happens to be married to Andrew) will help you get back on track. In each episode, Andrew and Caroline have open and honest chats about everything parenting. Join them in honesty, laughter, and tears (Caroline is a bit of a cry baby) as they help you navigate this journey of parenting. And, every so often, you may get some gems of expert advice. Our goal is to make your parenting journey less stressful, more forgiving, and more awesome. Please join us every Wednesday for new episodes of Parenting of the Year.

18. Insubordination in Kids with Special Guest Mr. Todd Kashdan.
In this week's episode, we had the fantastic opportunity to chat with Dr. Todd Kashdan about the importance of parents being involved in helping their kids decipher what they are presented with from the outside world and how to communicate with them in an inquisitive manner (versus dictation).
It's a great conversation about reshaping our interactions with our kids to help them build their resilience and other important skills they need to optimize their success and independence in life.

And, check out his awesome new book, The Art of Insubordination: How to Dissent and Defy Effectively. I loved reading every word of it. This book is truly the essential guide for anyone seeking to be heard, make a change, and rebel against an unhealthy status quo. And, importantly, he talks about cultivating curiosity, courage, and independent critical thinking in youth.
