I would LOVE to hear your thoughts! Drop me a DM over on Instagram @themompsychologist so we can keep this conversation going! All my love, Dr. J ❤️ Important note: This applies to neurotypical children or when neurodivergence has already been considered. If your child might be neurodivergent, the "perfect at school, difficult at home" pattern often indicates masking and genuine depletion rather than boundary-testing. It's *still* important to focus on guiding children's behavior through respectful boundaries, teaching, and clear expectations. Wanna go deeper?

Okay, real talk... mornings can bring out a whole different side of me, and I know I’m not the only one! In this episode, I’m getting honest about my “Nagging Nancy” moments, why our kids push back on routines, and how I’m learning (slowly but surely) to step back and let them take the lead. We’re talking about building real motivation, letting natural consequences do their thing, and giving ourselves grace when things get messy. If you’re tired of the morning chaos and want some practical, heart-centered tips (plus a mantra to keep you grounded), this one’s for you. Let’s grow together, one imperfect morning at a time!

I don’t know about you but I was never taught about body safety or consent. Let alone my growing body, puberty or sex. It just wasn't the type of conversations I had with my parents. Left to my own devices, friends and media became my biggest teachers. I don’t want this for my kids. I want to be involved in helping them understand boundaries, their bodies, and how to keep themselves safe. I want to give you my 7-step process on teaching kids about body consent and safety.
So your child has been watching a certain TV show or playing on a certain app and you’ve realized that you no longer want them on it. You want to set a boundary but you also know how upsetting this will be for them. What do you do?! In this episode, I’ll share the exact script to use during these moments and important things to keep in mind! If you enjoyed this episode, consider leaving a rating. It truly helps.

When it comes to screen time - my biggest tip is to make sure your children are exposed to quality content. To me, quality boils down to being: 👶🏽Age appropriate (made exactly for your child’s age range and development). 📚Educational and/or inspiring (versus just entertaining). 💃🏽Engaging and interactive (encourages them to participate either by calling out answers, dancing, sharing their ideas, etc). Nowadays, there are so many options to choose from that it can be hard to know what is quality and what’s not. That’s why in this video, I’ll be sharing some of my current (and past) favorites that I think you should check out. Keep in mind, this is not an exhaustive list. I kept the list short for a reason.
