Let's Be Honest, Different Kids Need Different Parenting | Dori Durbin, EP 165

Send us Fan MailWhat if the parenting advice that works beautifully for one child simply isn’t what another child needs?In this solo episode of That’s Good Parenting, children's book illustrator, coach, and podcaster, Dori Durbin explores why hearing different parenting experts can be so valuable.Children aren’t identical. Even siblings raised in the same home can experience the world in completely different ways. That difference matters.Instead of treating every parenting strategy as one more thing you “should” be doing, Dori encourages you to listen for the ideas that fit your child, your family, and this particular season of parenting.She also explains why this same idea guides her work helping parenting experts “kid-size” their expertise into children’s books—turning big concepts like emotional regulation, confidence, anxiety, and communication into stories children can understand, remember, and return to.In this episode, you’ll hear: Why similar parenting topics are worth revisiting from different perspectives  How siblings can experience the same family very differently  Why no single parenting expert will have the answer for every child  A healthier way to listen to parenting advice without adding more pressure  How stories can make big parenting concepts accessible to children  Why finding one idea that truly connects may be more helpful than trying to do everything You don’t need every strategy.Sometimes you simply need the right idea, from the right person, at the right time.About Dori DurbinDori Durbin is a children’s book illustrator, book coach, and host of the That’s Good Parenting podcast.She helps parenting experts and family-focused professionals kid-size their big concepts into children’s books so families can continue learning important expert content long after a podcast episode, coaching session, or conversation ends.https://www.doridurbin.comWould you like to help shape future resources for kids and families?The That’s Good Parenting Club is completely free and gives you a behind-the-scenes opportunity to participate as children’s books and parenting resources are being developed.You may be invited to share your opinion on story ideas, concepts, characters, titles, covers, illustrations, reader reactions, and other decisions before publication.Join and participate for free:https://club.thatsgoodparenting.com/clubIntro for TDP (version 2)
