Episode 47: An Interview with Nora Maidansky, (Yes - Becky’s Mom!!)

In this episode, we do something a little different — Becky brings her mom (a recently retired clinical psychologist and Becky’s personal parenting coach) onto the podcast to answer the questions we all ask ourselves in the toddler years. Are we traumatizing our kids with diaper changes? Is screen time ruining everything? How do we set boundaries without being assholes? We talk tantrums, timeouts, discipline vs punishment, tech guilt, and why “good enough” parenting is actually the goal. Equal parts validating, educational, and deeply relieving.In this episode:🧠 Toddler brains & emotional development📱 Screen time, guilt, and reality😤 Tantrums, meltdowns & autonomy🛑 Boundaries vs punishment💬 Validation over fixing🧩 “Good enough” parenting🐦 And as always, a bird story! If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re messing up your kid just by existing — this one’s for you.
