Learning To Mom ® Motherhood Podcast for First Time Moms, New Moms and Expecting Mothers

If you've ever sat at a well check, brought up a concern about your toddler, and been told to just "wait and see"... this episode is for YOU.Allison is a pediatric physical therapist (and a mom of four who had four kids in five and a half years, so she GETS it), and she is breaking down exactly what your 12 to 24 month old should be doing, when, and how to tell the difference between a kid developing on their own timeline and an actual red flag worth chasing down.But the part that gave me chills? Her reminder that YOU are the team leader for your child. Not the pediatrician, not the PT, not the preschool teacher, YOU. And that your mother's intuition and even your "I know I shouldn't compare but..." observations are not something to feel guilty about. They're information.In this episode, we talk about:The real timeline for walking (and why your baby probably won't walk by their first birthday)What to look for from 18 months to 2 years: running, climbing, standing from the middle of the room, fine motor skillsThe ONE milestone that's a definite, non-negotiable age (hint: it's jumping)Why milestones are "like math" and build on each otherHow to tell a developmental timeline difference from a true red flagThe "wait and see" problem, and when NOT to waitWhy you are the team leader for your childWhy comparing your child to others isn't something to feel guilty aboutSimple, cheap at home activities to jumpstart development Everyday "klutzy" struggles that can actually point to body awareness challengesProprioception and the vestibular system explained in a way that finally makes senseSensory seeking vs. sensory avoiding, and what's totally normalHow to make accommodations for a sensitive kid while still giving exposureThe SINGLE most important thing you can do in this window----------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT LINKS•✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼• Check out Laila’s Clean Makeup Bag Staples HERE• Or shop the whole nontoxic makeup site HERE          ◦ Use Code ADVOCATE10 for 10% off!• Connect with Allison HERE----------------------------------------------------------------------------toddler milestones, 12 to 24 month milestones, toddler milestones by age, when should my baby walk, baby not walking at 15 months, toddler not walking, late walker, when do toddlers jump, when do toddlers run, toddler gross motor skills, toddler fine motor skills, milestones build on each other, developmental red flags toddler, wait and see pediatrician, when to get early intervention, pediatric physical therapy, mother's intuition child development, comparing my child to others, parent as team leader, toddler coordination problems, clumsy toddler, body awareness in toddlers, proprioception in children, vestibular system kids, sensory seeking toddler, sensory avoidant toddler, sensory processing toddler, toddler accommodations sensory, toddler stairs milestones, free play for toddlers, open ended play toddlers, at home activities for toddlers, gross motor activities toddlers, Tots on Target, toddler development podcast, motherhood podcast, first time mom podcast, parenting podcast for toddler moms, best motherhood podcast, christian motherhood podcast, crunchy mom podcast, toddler parenting tips

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a more personal side of my story and talking about something I don’t discuss often on the podcast: my faith.If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’m a devout Catholic and my relationship with the Lord has deeply shaped how I experience motherhood. Especially in the moments that feel messy, exhausting, or overwhelming.Today we’re talking about why modern motherhood often feels so chaotic, the pressure to control every detail of parenting, and why true peace as a mom doesn’t come from having everything perfectly figured out.I also share how my faith life has changed since becoming a mom, what prayer looks like in this busy season, and how inviting God into ordinary moments of motherhood has completely shifted my perspective.If motherhood feels overwhelming right now, this episode is a reminder that peace isn’t waiting on the other side of a perfectly clean house or perfectly behaved kids, it’s available right in the middle of the chaosIn this episode, we discuss:Why modern motherhood feels so overwhelmingSocial media comparison and parenting pressureHelicopter parenting and the desire to control outcomesHow faith can change the way we experience motherhoodFinding God in ordinary motherhood momentsPraying as a busy momSurrendering control and trusting God in parentingFinding peace in the chaos of raising young children----------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT LINKS•✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼• Check out Laila’s Clean Makeup Bag Staples HERE• Or shop the whole nontoxic makeup site HERE          ◦ Use Code ADVOCATE10 for 10% off!----------------------------------------------------------------------------christian motherhood podcast, catholic mom podcast, faith and motherhood, motherhood and faith, christian parenting encouragement, praying as a busy mom, motherhood overwhelm, finding peace in motherhood, christian stay at home mom podcast, motherhood and spiritual growth, trusting God in motherhood, faith during motherhood, christian parenting podcast

Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids, has been sounding the alarm for years: in our effort to protect our children, we may actually be holding them back.In this conversation, we dive into what’s happened to childhood over the past few decades, why independence is declining, why parents feel more pressure than ever to supervise and structure everything, and what it’s costing our kids.From helicopter parenting and “bulldozer” parenting to overscheduled calendars and screen heavy childhoods, we unpack how modern parenting norms may be limiting the very skills our kids need to thrive.This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about perspective, and practical ways to raise capable, confident, independent kids in a culture that often pushes the opposite.In this episode, we discuss:The message behind Free-Range Kids and why it still matters todayThe essential skills children need to grow into independent, resilient adultsWhy modern parenting culture often discourages independenceThe downsides of helicopter parenting and bulldozer parentingHow overprotection can increase anxiety in childrenWhy mixed-age play and community matter more than we realizeWhether kids actually prefer structured activities, screens, or unstructured playThe power of giving kids real responsibilityWhat the Let Grow movement is and how it helps families foster independenceIf you’ve ever wondered whether you’re hovering too much… or worried that giving your child more freedom feels risky in today’s world… this episode will challenge and encourage you in the best way.Raising independent kids doesn’t mean being uninvolved.
