Hello, I'm psychologist and parenting expert Dr Maryhan and this is How Not To Screw Up Your Kids, the podcast for parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone else who wants to be part of a movement to raise confident children who grow up believing in themselves.Follow now for twice weekly episodes - on Monday's you'll find shorter Bucket Emptying episodes, with longer episodes each Thursday.The greatest gift we can give our children is self-belief. It will get them further in life than any qualification and is absolutely possible for each and every child; we just need the right information and support around us to teach them.The old saying 'it takes a village to raise a child' couldn't be more true than now. Parenting has got a whole lot harder; not just because we are busier than ever but because our children are growing up in an ever changing, fast-paced world, which is so different to the one we grew up in. Our children have more pressure to be better, look better, do better, and in a world where lives are so publicly scrutinised and commented on through social media it's really no wonder we're seeing mental health problems sky rocketing amongst children, teens, and young adults. What you can expect from this podcast are honest conversations about parenting.We'll talk confidence resilience, anxiety, managing tech, and all the topics you'd expect as well blowing the lid off the widely help misconception that children are innately resilient. They're not!This podcast is for people who want to get real about parenting. You understand it can get messy sometimes and aren't afraid to admit it. I have had more than my fair share of messy and I will no doubt share these with you along the way. I won't dress things up but I will always give you something practical to take away and use in each and every episode. My guests and experts will be real people who have overcome their own adversities and bring with them a message to us as parents, as well as inspiring stories.So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation...

Most parenting advice tells you what to do. I help you see things differently. I'm Rachel Richards, a former BBC correspondent, CNBC Europe World News Anchor, parenting coach, mum of four, and host of the Teenagers Untangled podcast. Every week, I interview world-leading experts, dig into the latest research, and challenge the assumptions that leave so many parents feeling anxious, guilty or stuck. Because I don't believe it's just about having more information. I believe parents need a different lens. Fear tells us our teenager is lazy, rude, addicted or deliberately difficult. Wonder asks, What's really going on? What need, skill or fear might I be missing? When we replace fear with curiosity, we make better decisions, drop our judgement and start connecting, and raise young people who are more resilient, independent and emotionally healthy. If you're tired of parenting through worry, conflict or self-doubt, you're in the right place. Join thousands of parents each week as we learn to Fear Less. Wonder More. The Podcast: A fellow mum begged me to start my podcast because she wanted someone she trusted to help her through the teen years, and I'll be forever grateful to her because the journey has transformed my own parenting and benefited my family beyond imagination. Here's the good news, this podcast is free and you can learn everything I learned just by starting at the beginning and going through every episode. If you want to go a bit faster then scroll through and pick subjects that cover what you need right now. If you can't find what you want then message me and I'll tell you which one will help you most. If it's not something I've covered then I'm like a dog chasing a stick, so you'll soon get your answers. My main aim is to help you stop trying to be perfect, or comparing yourself and your kids with others. Your only real job is to focus on getting to know the amazing people you have in your life, loving them unconditionally, and showing them you believe they can do hard things. JOIN ME ON SUBSTACK: For those of you who want more, or who just want to help me feel like the pebbles I have dropped in the ocean of life are making a difference, why not join my paid community? You'll get one-to-one support and printable PDF's that give you the top tips from each podcast episode so you have your own little, bespoke manual. ASK ME ANYTHING: I'm very busy behind the scenes reading everything so you don't have to, and when you subscribe you have the chance to ask me anything. If I don't know the answer I'll head out like an eager truffle pig, ready to snuffle out the best for you. COMMUNITY: I'll be offering regular extras, including tips and thoughts, that help you tune into what matters. All of the community notes, and tips, will remain available to paid subscribers. I want to make this more about fun and less about fear. PDF NOTES: So many listeners say they have rewound the episodes to write down notes, well now there's no need. Paid subscribers will have a weekly, downloadable, summary of the top tips from each episode, so you don't have to take notes. Please let me know if there are any old episodes for which you'd like the notes. I'm very happy to supply them. POINTERS: Ask me if there's something you're struggling with, I can tell you which episode is most suitable for you, because there are a lot to trawl through. more

Why is there such a huge gap between what we think parenting is going to be like and what it actually is? Why when we have children do we think it's going to bring us closer together but often it really pushes us apart? What are the jobs of mums and dads now? What's a dad when we're no longer just providers? What's a mum when they often are? What am I supposed to teach or model for my children when I've no idea what the world is going to look like in five years time? Why did my parents seem to have loads of conviction about these things and I have absolutely none? In this podcast I interview top authors, therapists, coaches and try and find out how the trials of parenting can help us become better humans. more
