In this episode of The Apparently Parent Podcast, I'm talking to Shari Medini, who co-authored the book Parenting While Working From Homea beautiful, simple guide ...

If you're a parent, you probably experience conflicts between you and your children throughout your day. When to get up, how to dress for school, what to eat, when to do homework, and don't get me started on screen time!

Many parents ask me to help them get rid of all the fights and conflicts they have with their children. But I want to offer a different perspective: conflicts are not the bad guy.

Again with the mindfulness?? Well, yes. But hear me out. This is not another podcast that will tell you to sit down on the cushion and watch your breath for 30 minutes. Why? Because you don't have time for that, am I right? You're a busy mom, or hustling dad, or whatever you wanna call it. You have kids tugging at your pants, knocking on your bathroom door, and waking you up at hours you never wanted to meet...

Apparently, we have to start another school year with COVID still present in our lives. When this episode was first published, things looked different. Today we have vaccinations for 12 years old and above, but many children still have to go to school in the shadow of a global pandemic.

If you're still worried about sending your children to school (and who can blame you), or you're looking for ways ...

How do you motivate your children? What are the ways by which you can communicate your message to your children, no matter their age, and make them interested in what you have to say?

This is not about getting them to listen in a disciplinary kind of way. This is about making a true connection with them, sharing your world with them, and finding ways to convey your message in a motivating way, helping them become who t...

Be honest: how many times during the day do you find yourself yelling, shouting, or just raising your voice at your kids? And when it happens, what do you feel like during, or afterward?

In this episode, I'm tackling an aspect of parenting that everybody knows, but most rarely talks about - should we never raise our voices at our kids?

It's time to talk about attachment parenting. And more specifically, is it any good? Attachment parenting is a method developed by William and Marth Sears, and is a very popular parenting method these days. Attachment parenting followers focus on a close relationship with the baby and developing sensitive communication with it.

Sounds good, no? But the problem is that attachment parenting has its flaws, and it&apo...

"Please put your shoes on already!" - is that situation familiar? Do you find yourself asking your children to do things over and over again? Do you resort to threats or bribes? Are you already exhausted from the ongoing struggle?

Yes, the struggle is real. But in fact, it shouldn't be THAT hard. If only you would know some basic ways to ask your children to do something and actually want to cooperate......

Do you know how they say "when life gives you lemons, make a lemonade?" 🍋

Well, I love lemonade. I love lemons even more. But some lemons I would rather live without.

Two months ago, my country entered another round of escalation with the rulers of Gaza strip. For almost two weeks, they fired rockets into Israel, which meant that we could hear a war siren at any hour of the day and run into shelter. One rocke...

2020 is a year that will be talked about and remembered for a long time. And I think that one of the main things that we are going to see in the coming years are changes to educational systems and long-held beliefs.
When covid hit and lockdowns started to be part of our lives, every parent had to become a kind of a homeschooler. While some of us are happy to bring the kids back to school, some are willing to conti...

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
