Toddlers & Teenagers

from Childproof · host Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom

On this episode of Childproof: Parasocial Parenting we discuss mushroom allergies, mascots that are not in any way shape or form mascots but Gwenna nicknames everything inappropriately, and how toddlers and teenagers are alike but different. Also we discuss how gentle parenting doesn’t mean never being mean. It just means being mean with purpose and intent and realizing that your kids can be mad even if you’re being gentle. This week’s mascot is the weird leaf bowl apparently common in Germany. Germany, sound off…is this yours? Is there one of these sitting in your home somewhere? Are you German or of German heritage? We need to know. We want to hear from you! Do you have questions, comments, jokes, or anything else you want us to know?
