Description

Willy obsession starts early! Tina gets an email from a mother of a kid who won't stop drawing dongs! If your child likes to draw them should you be worried or is it just a bit of harmless silliness that he will grow out of in his late 50s. When does artistic expression veer into unhealthy fascination? There's no taking the mickey with this question but plenty of laughs to be found in Tina and Jar's childhood memories of their youthful "passion projects".

Young children love to explore the world with their mouths and hands. We all know that pretty much everything, even if it's nailed down, ends up in there. But what if your child likes to eat sticks and stones? Tina gets an email from one mother who is having this very problem and guess what? It's not that uncommon!

The concept of death intrigues all of us at some point. But the finality and the idea of infinity can completely overwhelm our kids. So when they experience a death it can impact upon them in a big way. How do you navigate this very delicate topic with your child when it's all they seem to want to talk about? Can we inform them without creating an unhealthy interest?

The first ever zero judgement parenting podcast from the team behind An Irishman Abroad. Join funny man Jarlath and child behaviouralist Tina Regan as they tackle the questions, the worries and the day-to-day hilarity that comes with modern parenting. Jarlath collects anonymous questions from frazzled and exhausted parents, while Tina shares more than 20 years of experience working in early childhood intellectual, behavioural and social development. With genuine problems from real parents it’s anyone’s guess what the questions will be but the pair will gamely tackle anything that’s thrown their way. Expect all manner of queries including: - "My young lad eats like a caveman and is mortifying me everywhere we go" - "If I ask my kid to come off her iPad she acts like her world is caving in" - "My toddler refuses to wear clothes” - “My kid won’t poo at school” - “My kid refuses to let me leave the house, what should I do? No problem is too big or small. Tina promises to help parents help themselves, with zero judgement. Raising kids is so fecking hard we all need help to do it.
