Be Solid Learning

by Bridget Barrus, LMSW

You love your kids. You want to raise good humans. And some days, you still find yourself standing in the kitchen wondering, “What in the world am I supposed to do with THIS?” The Be Solid Learning Podcast is practical help for parents raising kids ages 4–18: real conversations about building capable kids, stronger relationships, and families that grow through the everyday stuff. Hosted by Bridget Barrus, LMSW, a school counselor, social worker, longtime family advocate, and mom of a big family, the show brings together child development, professional experience, and a whole lot of real life. Because understanding what kids need is one thing. Figuring out what that looks like when someone is melting down, shutting down, talking back, giving up, blaming everyone else, or missing a shoe when you needed to leave five minutes ago? That’s where things get interesting. This isn’t about perfect parenting. And it isn’t about memorizing the “right” thing to say in every sit
