The first ever zero judgement parenting podcast from the team behind An Irishman Abroad. Join funny man Jarlath and child behaviouralist Tina Regan as they tackle the questions, the worries and the day-to-day hilarity that comes with modern parenting. Jarlath collects anonymous questions from frazzled and exhausted parents, while Tina shares more than 20 years of experience working in early childhood intellectual, behavioural and social development. With genuine problems from real parents it's anyone's guess what the questions will be but the pair will gamely tackle anything that's thrown their way. Expect all manner of queries including: - 'My young lad eats like a caveman and is mortifying me everywhere we go'- 'If I ask my kid to come off her iPad she acts like her world is caving in'- 'My toddler refuses to wear clothes'- 'My kid won't poo at school'- 'My kid refuses to let me leave the house, what should I do? No problem is too big or small. Tina promises to help parents help themselves, with zero judgement. Raising kids is so fecking hard we all need help to do it. more
