The Parenting Tools Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this New Year's episode, Jason and Jordan take a moment to reflect, reset, and look ahead as parents navigating life with young kids. We kick things off by unpacking the highs and lows of 2025, sharing the highlights (and the lowlights) of the year. With Christmas fresh in everyone’s minds, the conversation turns to celebrating the holidays with kids - specifically, how far parents should go to keep the 'Santa magic' alive. Jason and Jordan share their thoughts (and a few laughs) on navigating the Santa facade. We also chat about how we tackled New Year’s Eve with young children - do you keep the kids up until midnight and suffer the consequences the next day, or is everybody in bed at usual times to keep the little ones in routine? Finally, they wrap up by looking ahead to 2026, talking about goals, mindset shifts, and what they’re hoping for in the year to come. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Parenting Tools Pod, Jason and Jordan catch up on dad life — from heating arguments and flooded living rooms to serious chats about mental health and that one time Jason accidentally introduced himself as Kenneth Shaft in a company workshop. They also tackle big questions like: When do you actually turn the heating on? Are any of us ever ready to be parents? And where exactly is the line between explaining and mansplaining?

This week, Jason recounts the emotional odyssey of a bamboo stick that nearly broke him (and his bank account). Jordan’s 5-year-old drops £65 on Sonic, TikTok algorithms go rogue, and we ask: are we lying to our kids more than we realise?
