Be A Better Parent | For Every Child It Takes A Village... The Same Goes For Every Parent! – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Screens are everywhere, and most parents are stuck in the same loop:

How much is too much?

Am I ruining their brain?

Is this just what modern childhood looks like now?

In this Raising Eyebrows episode, Family & Relationship Empowerment Coach Celia Kibler and double-board-certified physician Dr. Kailey Buller unpack the real story on screen time so you can stop guessing, drop the guilt, and make confident choices for your family.

You will hear clear, practical guidance on what the research actually says about screens from babyhood through the teen years, including why the early years are so sensitive, why slower, calmer shows make it easier for kids to transition away, and how too much screen time affects sleep, mood, tantrums, and language development.

Celia and Dr. Kailey talk about background TV, shared screen time, FaceTime with grandparents, and those “just this once” moments on a flight or in a waiting room, so you know what really matters and where you can relax.

Then they turn to what to do instead of handing over a device. From loose-parts play with toilet paper rolls, boxes, noodles, and bowls, to obstacle courses, nature walks, grocery store adventures, rainbow dinners, and silly “make up stories” in the car or before bed, you will walk away with simple, screen-free ideas that build your child’s brain, feed their imagination, and actually make the day feel easier and more fun for you too.

To go deeper with Celia’s calm parenting support, join the Be A Better Parent Skool Community at skool.com/beabetterparent, where you can connect with other parents and get access to more coaching, classes, and replays. Explore more of Celia’s resources at BeABetterParent.com and follow her on Instagram at @beabetterparentdotcom.

For medical, postpartum, and newborn guidance you can trust, follow Dr. Kailey Buller on Instagram at @vitalswithdrbuller for compassionate, science-backed advice that helps you feel steadier in those early years.

And if you are ready for calm, on-demand support in your pocket, download the Be A Better Parent app on the App Store and Google Play. You will get 24/7 parenting guidance, expert videos, and community support so you never have to figure this out alone

If the word "discipline" makes you tense up or think of punishment, it’s time for a major perspective shift.

In this third episode of the Raising Eyebrows series, Dr. Kailey Buller and I are pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of parenting: how we actually teach our children to do better.

We move past the myths of "time-outs" and "punitive measures" to explore the biological reality of what is happening in your child's brain when they are struggling. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a loop of yelling just to be heard, join us as we explore how to move from being the "loud parent" to a calm, empowered leader who focuses on teaching rather than just reacting.

We dive deep into the messy difference between punishment and true discipline — which actually comes from the word disciple, meaning to teach. Dr. Kailey brings her medical expertise to the table to explain why a "logical consequence" isn't just a fancy phrase, but a necessary tool for building self-reliant adults.

We discuss the "witching hour" for both parents and kids, and why your own physical and mental state is often the secret ingredient to a more peaceful home.

If you’re tired of the conflicting advice that oscillates between "too soft" and "too harsh," this conversation will give you the clarity to find the middle ground that actually works for your unique family.

It’s time to raise those eyebrows at the old-school methods that don't serve your connection and discover a path toward respect, cooperation, and long-term results.

Parenting is never perfectly balanced, and sometimes it is not even close.

In this heart-opening conversation, I sit down with Daryl Potter, a dad and author who raised two kids on very different paths: one with complex medical needs and one who still needed his own place in the spotlight.

You will hear how his family navigated daily medical crises and palliative care while keeping his son seen, secure, and deeply loved.

We talk about simple habits that change everything. Schedule real one-on-one time. Take your kids on date nights even when life feels chaotic. Keep small promises that matter, like a nightly thirty-minute game session even if video games are not your thing. These tiny rituals add up to a confident, connected child who knows they are special on their own.

When family support fell through, Daryl and his wife built a chosen family and created a new kind of vacation rhythm so each parent could rest while their daughter received the care she needed.

Their story models kindness, commitment, flexibility, and courage for kids and adults alike. Press play for perspective and practical steps you can use tonight.

The decision to have more than one child is not always easy. You need to consider how it will affect the other child(ren) and how it will affect you and your life.

In this episode, I discuss the benefits of offering your child a sibling and what it means to that child's life.

There is a lot to consider, I hope this helps. Reach out with any other questions.

When you are trying to communicate & connect more with your child, a lot factors into it. One of the things you need to be aware of is where you choose to have a conversation with your child. Are you offering respect when speaking with them?

In this podcast, I review a lot of different ways you start having conversations with your child and how the environment of that conversations determines its success of failure.
