In part 2 of my latest chat with Robin, we take a bit of a deep dive into food allergies, a pretty serious topic that impacts us all differently but nevertheless a topic I think we should all be familiar with.Theme: “Check it out” by Mountaineer (via Uppbeat)
One time guest Robin returns to the show, a two time dad based out in California we connect to discuss what it’s like to be with a toddler that’s pushing two years old, cranky tantrums, being hungry but not eating, picking favorites, reasoning with them, figuring out how much tv they should have, if any and encouraging independent play. It’s a wide ranging episode with some great insight from a dad that’s doing it for the second time.Theme: “Check it out” by Mountaineer (via Uppbeat)
Part 2 of our discussion with Danny, father of an 8 month old boy, we talk in a bit more detail about how to mediate the Dog vs Baby relationship, which if you’ve been there already you know can be very tricky, plus getting back into the groove of exercising and finding a way to make the most out of what little personal time we still get.Theme: “Check it out” by Mountaineer (via Uppbeat)

This week, it’s part 2 of our conversation with Paul, an Aussie dad raising 3 kids in Denver Colorado. This part of our chat is sleep-centric where we talk about bedtimes and sleep schedules plus also taking your kids out to dinner and having date night at home. Sleep plays such an outsized role in raising our kids, and for our own health as well, so there’s never really going to be just one or two main sleep episodes per se, it’s an evolving topic that can be handled and experienced in ...
It's the return of the Paul, an Aussie Dad raising three kids (aged 8, 7 and 3) in Denver Colorado. The last time he was on the show, Della was merely a few months old. A lot has changed since then.

Also, how to assess risk when it comes to your kids. Paul’s a really thoughtful guy with this par...

The big sleep episode is here!
