Harvard-trained psychologist Dr. Amy Todey says our children are not fragile. In this episode she explains why letting kids struggle is one of the most loving things a parent can do. Dr. Todey is a parenting and family relationship expert who specializes in parenting, co-parenting, and neurodevelopment. She’s also a mom of three boys, and she’s honest about what that looks like at home.
We talk about why parents swung so far into hyper-monitoring, what boomer parenting actually got right, and how to support an anxious child without feeding the anxiety. She shares the overnight camp story that tested everything she knows as a psychologist. We also get into ADHD and OCD, advocating for your kids without letting a diagnosis become their identity, and the three things she wants every parent to start doing tonight.
For any parent who has worried they’re getting it wrong, this conversation ends with a reminder that repair is always possible.
