DEEP DIVE: Why Do Moms Get All The Blame?
This Deep Dive series is all about why motherhood is so gosh darn hard. Turns out there are sociopolitical forces at play that make motherhood way harder than it needs to be. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify.
Mothers have long been held at fault for anything that might occur in their children's lives, from autism ("refrigerator mothers") to colic, and everything in between. Why is there such a long history of blaming everything on Mom?
In this episode, we discuss how mom blame has manifested in both psychology and parenting advice over the years, and how we can start to push back on it in our own lives.
Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
Joseph E. Davis, PhD for Psychology Today: "For a Moratorium on Parent Blaming"
Mitzi M. Waltz, PhD for the AMA Journal of Ethics: "Mothers and Autism: The Evolution of a Discourse of Blame"
Rosjke Hasseldine for Medium: "How Mother Blaming Harms the Mother-Daughter Bond"
Bonnie Zucker for Scary Mommy: "From a Psychologist: No, It's Not All Mom's Fault"

Is Gentle Parenting "Too" Gentle?
There's a reason "gentle parenting" has become synonymous in some circles—and on social media—with never ever telling a child "no," even in the most extreme circumstances. But where did "gentle parenting" begin, what does the research really say about it, and what can it actually offer parents in the way of making their lives easier?
Amy and Margaret discuss:
The original definition of "gentle parenting"—and how it leaves the door open for broad interpretations
What research has actually shown about the effects of gentle parenting—and how those who consider themselves gentle parents are faring
What the disagreements surrounding gentle parenting tells us about parenting in the modern world
Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
Jessica Winter for the New Yorker: The Harsh Realm of 'Gentle Parenting'
Kathryn Watson for Oprah Daily: The Truth About Gentle Parenting
Annie Pezalla for The Conversation: Gentle parenting can be really hard on parents, new research suggests

We unpack the behaviors and developmental stages of toddlers, tweens, and teenagers, providing insights into their actions and equipping you with effective parenting strategies.
We offer our best parenting tips and skills we've learned. We debate the techniques and studies that are everywhere for parents these days, and get to the bottom of what works best to raise happy, healthy, fairly well-behaved kids, while fostering a positive parent-child relationship.
