Re-run: Picky Eating: How to End Mealtime Battles and Raise Confident Eaters with Katie Kimball

Saison 3 · Épisode 207

mercredi 4 novembre 2026 • Durée 45:42

This is a re-run

Does your child refuse to try new foods? Are family dinners filled with negotiations, frustration, or worries about whether your child is getting enough nutrition? If mealtimes have become a daily power struggle, you're not alone.

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, registered psychologist Tania Johnson sits down with Katie Kimball, founder of Kids Cook Real Food, TEDx speaker, and author of the highly anticipated new book, The Picky Eater Playbook, releasing November 10, 2026.

Together, they explore why picky eating is about so much more than what's on a child's plate. From sensory sensitivities and anxiety around unfamiliar foods to the unintended consequences of pressuring children to eat, Katie shares a refreshing, practical approach to helping kids develop a healthier relationship with food.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why kids become picky eaters: Understanding the developmental, sensory, and emotional factors that influence children's eating habits.

Why pressure makes picky eating worse: How bribing, negotiating, and insisting on just one more bite can increase resistance and mealtime anxiety.

How to end mealtime power struggles: Simple, practical strategies to reduce stress and create more peaceful family dinners.

How to raise adventurous eaters: Helping children become curious and confident around unfamiliar foods without forcing them to eat.

Why getting kids into the kitchen matters: How cooking, food preparation, and playful exploration can help children build confidence and independence.

How to support a healthy relationship with food: Moving beyond controlling what children eat and toward building lifelong habits rooted in trust and connection.

Drawing from her new book, The Picky Eater Playbook, Katie offers parents a compassionate, pressure-free approach to navigating picky eating and helping children feel more comfortable exploring new foods.

The takeaway: Raising healthy eaters isn't about winning the battle over broccoli. It's about helping children feel safe, capable, and confident around food—one small step at a time.

Join Tania and Katie for an encouraging, practical conversation that will help you understand your picky eater, reduce mealtime stress, and bring more joy and connection back to the family table.

The Empathy Crisis: Are We Raising Kids Who Struggle to Care?

Saison 4 · Épisode 206

mardi 27 octobre 2026 • Durée 52:14

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Michele Borba joins us to discuss what she calls the growing “empathy crisis” in children and teens — and why empathy may be one of the most important skills we can nurture in the next generation.

Dr. Borba is an internationally recognized educational psychologist, parenting expert, speaker, and bestselling author of UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World. Her work explores how empathy shapes children’s mental health, moral development, resilience, relationships, leadership, and long-term success.

Together, we explore why self-absorption, overvaluing achievement, excessive praise, screen use, stress, and cultural messages around performance may be making it harder for children to notice, care, and respond to the needs of others. Dr. Borba shares why empathy is not simply a personality trait children either have or do not have — it is a skill that can be taught, practiced, and strengthened through everyday moments at home and school.

We also talk about how to raise children who are deeply caring without becoming people-pleasers, overly accommodating, or lacking boundaries. Dr. Borba offers practical ways parents can help children see themselves as kind, responsible, and capable of making a positive difference, including using family values, identity-based language, perspective-taking, repair, and calm accountability.

This episode is a hopeful reminder that empathy is not “soft.” It is a strength. And in a world that often prioritizes achievement, popularity, and self-promotion, raising children who can care deeply, regulate themselves, take another person’s perspective, and act with courage may be one of the most important parenting tasks of our time.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why empathy is declining and what may be driving the shift

• The connection between empathy, resilience, happiness, anxiety, and academic success

• How achievement culture can undermine caring and moral development

Why Your Child Falls Apart With You with Tammy and Tania

Saison 4 · Épisode 205

mercredi 21 octobre 2026 • Durée 22:23

Ever wonder why your child holds it together all day at school, only to completely fall apart the moment they get home?

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, registered psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson explore why children often save their biggest emotions for the people they feel safest with.

From after-school meltdowns to emotional outbursts over seemingly small things, Tammy and Tania unpack what may be happening beneath the surface and why these behaviours aren't necessarily signs of defiance or poor parenting.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- Why children fall apart with their parents: How emotional safety, attachment, and the effort of holding it together throughout the day can contribute to meltdowns at home.

- The hidden cost of being good all day: Why following rules, managing friendships, and meeting expectations can leave children emotionally exhausted.

- Why small things trigger big reactions: Understanding how accumulated stress and unmet needs can overwhelm a child's capacity to cope.

- How to respond without escalating the meltdown: Practical ways to offer connection, co-regulation, and boundaries when emotions run high.

- How to prevent the after-school explosion: Simple strategies to support decompression, emotional regulation, and connection.

The takeaway: Your child's biggest emotions aren't always a reflection of how you're parenting. Sometimes, they're a sign of just how hard your child has been working to hold everything together.

Join Tammy and Tania for a compassionate, practical conversation that will help you see your child's meltdowns through a different lens—and feel more confident supporting them through those difficult moments.

Are We Raising Kids Who Are Afraid to Be Independent? | Lenore Skenazy on Free-Range Parenting, Anxiety & Resilience

Saison 4 · Épisode 204

mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 46:00

Are we protecting our children—or unintentionally making them more anxious and less confident?

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, we sit down with Lenore Skenazy, founder of the Free-Range Kids movement and co-founder of Let Grow, to explore how overprotective parenting may be contributing to childhood anxiety, declining independence, and a lack of resilience in today's children.

Lenore challenges us to rethink modern parenting and the culture of fear surrounding childhood. We discuss why giving children age-appropriate freedom, opportunities for healthy risk-taking, and space to solve problems independently is essential for building confidence, emotional resilience, and problem-solving skills.

Together, we explore the connection between parental anxiety and childhood anxiety, why children need more independent play and unsupervised experiences, and how parents can move away from helicopter parenting without compromising their children's safety.

You'll discover how small changes in parenting can help children develop greater independence, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and the confidence to navigate life's challenges.

Because raising resilient kids isn't about protecting them from every challenge—it's about helping them believe they can handle challenges themselves.

Whether you're raising an anxious child, struggling with the urge to overprotect, or simply looking for ways to foster independence, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on raising confident, capable, and resilient children.

Are We Raising Kids Who Can't Live Without Us? — With Julie Lythcott-Haims

Saison 4 · Épisode 203

mercredi 7 octobre 2026 • Durée 50:48

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, to explore how well-intentioned parenting can sometimes get in the way of the very skills children need to become capable, confident adults.

Julie unpacks the rise of the “checklisted childhood,” where success can become defined by grades, activities, achievements, and getting into the “right” school, and explains how this pressure can undermine independence, self-efficacy, and a child’s ability to discover who they really are. We talk about why parents often overhelp out of love and fear, how to know when support becomes overparenting, and why struggle, failure, responsibility, and everyday life skills are so important for healthy development.

We also explore how parents can step back without becoming disconnected, support anxious or struggling children without rescuing them, and shift from managing a child’s life to becoming a trusted guide. Julie offers a powerful reminder that the goal of parenting is not to create a perfect childhood, but to prepare children to navigate adulthood with confidence, resilience, and a sense of ownership over their own lives.

Julie Lythcott-Haims is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and former Stanford dean. She is best known for How to Raise an Adult, which explores how overparenting and achievement culture can undermine children’s independence, resilience, and self-confidence—and how parents can better prepare kids to become capable, self-directed adults.

Who's Raising Our Kids? The Hidden Forces Shaping Childhood with Dr. Susan Linn

Saison 4 · Épisode 202

mercredi 30 septembre 2026 • Durée 52:18

Are we raising our children, or are Big Tech, big business, and algorithms quietly doing it for us?

In this thought-provoking episode of The Child Psych Podcast, psychologist Tania Johnson sits down with Dr. Susan Linn, psychologist, author, and one of the world's leading voices on creative play and the commercialization of childhood. Drawing from her groundbreaking book Who's Raising the Kids?, Susan explores how technology companies, advertisers, toy manufacturers, and even schools have become powerful influences in children's lives—often shaping their values, relationships, attention, and development in ways parents never intended.

Together, Tania and Susan unpack what it means to parent in a world where children's attention has become one of the world's most valuable commodities. They discuss why the conversation isn't about blaming parents or banning technology, but about reclaiming childhood through connection, imaginative play, boredom, and real-world experiences. Susan also shares practical, hopeful ways families can resist the pressures of consumer culture and raise children whose identities are shaped by relationships rather than algorithms.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the biggest competition for your child's attention isn't other children—it's an industry built to capture it.

How Big Tech and big business influence children's values, relationships, learning, and emotional well-being.

Why imaginative play is one of the most important foundations for healthy child development.

The hidden ways marketing reaches children through toys, apps, schools, games, and digital media.

How parents can reclaim their influence without relying on guilt or fear.

Practical ways to foster creativity, connection, and resilience in a commercialized world.

Why protecting childhood isn't about eliminating technology—it's about ensuring children have the freedom to be children.

You're Playing With Your Child... But Are You Connecting? with Tammy Schamuhn & Tania Johnson

Saison 4 · Épisode 201

mercredi 23 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:53

"Most parents know that play is important. But what if it's not the game that matters most—it's how you show up while you're playing?

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, child psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson pull back the curtain on what therapists know about play that every parent can use at home. Drawing from the principles of child-centred play therapy, they explore how simple shifts in the way you play can strengthen attachment, build emotional safety, and help your child feel deeply seen and understood.

You'll learn why following your child's lead is more powerful than directing the activity, how presence and attunement create the foundation for emotional regulation, and why children often communicate their inner world through play long before they have the words to explain it. Whether you have five minutes before bedtime or an afternoon at the park, these practical techniques will help you create moments of connection that support your child's emotional development for years to come.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why your presence matters more than the activity itself.

The power of child-directed play and why following your child's lead builds confidence and connection.

How attunement helps children feel safe, understood, and emotionally secure.

Simple play therapy techniques every parent can use at home.

What reflective responding is and how it deepens connection without needing to solve or fix.

How play supports emotional regulation, communication, and resilience.

Easy ways to create meaningful moments of connection, even in the middle of a busy day.

You don't need expensive toys, elaborate activities, or hours of free time to build a strong relationship with your child. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down, enter their world, and simply be present."

Love Over Algorithms: Raising Kids Who Choose Connection Over Screens with Nikki Martyn

Screens aren't just competing for our children's attention—they're competing for their relationships. And while many parents focus on limiting screen time, what if the real solution isn't found in stronger rules, but in stronger connections?

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, psychologist Tania Johnson sits down with parenting educator and author Nikki Martin to discuss her new book, Love Over Algorithms.

The difference between the Dopamine Loop and the Love Loop, and why connection changes everything.

Taking the Pressure Out of Feeding Kids with Jennifer Anderson.

Saison 3 · Épisode 199

mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 44:11

Feeding children can bring up so much pressure. Are they eating enough? Are they getting the right nutrients? Should we limit sugar? What do we do when they refuse everything on their plate?

In this episode, Tania is joined by Jennifer Anderson, registered dietitian, founder of Kids Eat in Color, and author of the new book, Feed Them Well: A Guide to Raising Healthy, Confident Eaters for Life.

Jennifer takes us deep into the research on how children learn to eat and what happens when parents restrict certain foods, pressure kids to eat, or try to tightly control what and how much they consume.

She explores the difference between restrictive feeding practices and helping children learn to listen to their own hunger and fullness cues, and why our best intentions around nutrition can sometimes have unexpected consequences.

They also dig into picky eating, sugar, treats, highly processed foods, food rules, body image, and the enormous amount of pressure parents feel to “get feeding right.”

How much control should parents actually have? Should dessert be restricted? What do we do when our child would happily live on crackers? And can giving children more freedom around food actually help them make better choices over time?

Jennifer brings the research, practical strategies, and plenty of reassurance for parents who want their children to eat well without creating fear, shame, or battles around food.

This is a fascinating conversation about what it really takes to raise children who are not only well nourished, but who grow up trusting themselves around food.

Together, he and Tania discuss why traditional discipline often backfires, how parents can become the calm anchor their children need, and simple ways to reduce daily power struggles while building trust and cooperation.

How to stop getting pulled into daily power struggles.
