    Amazing!
    We have benefited so much from this podcast as a supplement to the books. It’s like the book is alive and we’re getting so many more nuggets! If there’s any way to comment on fighting in the car between siblings under 10, we could use the insight! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and impacting families!

    Short and sweet and necessary
    This is my favorite parenting podcast: the short 10 minute pieces are exactly what I need as a parent to keep myself on the track of showing my kids I love them while breaking generational cycles. Kim’s voice is soothing and his podcast topics always are spot on. Brilliant advice and methods for parents

    So insightful!
    I learn something useful in every single episode! They are short and sweet and they make a huge difference when I implement them with my kids. I thought I had heard everything when I read Kim John Payne’s books, but it’s still worth listening to the podcast!

    Totally awesome
    My kids are now 18 and 22 and I STILL refer to Kim’s books. I also run a small soccer club and I LOVE Beyond Winning. All his books help keep me kid/family centered. I check in with the podcast regularly. The soothing voice and common sense support for all developing humans is amazing.

    Obsessed with the book so happy it’s a podcast!
    Simplicity parenting is my all-time favorite parenting book and the one I feel has made the biggest difference in my family’s lives. Love listening to the podcast, thank you for doing what you do!

    The most useful parenting advice
    I follow a lot of parenting outlets and I’ve done a fair amount of my own research on the topic of parenting techniques (my daughter is a handful!). This is the best resource I have found. In almost every episode, I have found some straight forward advice that has helped me improve my approach to parenting. The episodes are just the right length so that you get the point and can easily digest the material. I just ordered one of Kim’s books. I’m really looking forward to reading it. I’m part of a few parenting groups, and I always recommend this podcast to other parents who are looking for advice on parenting.

    Succinct and helpful
    I love how succinct, simple and easy these episodes are to listen to and digest. I also find Kim’s voice and way of describing things very soothing and reassuring as a parent of a toddler!

    I really enjoy this podcast
    Lots of helpful information and gentle reminders. I work with autistic children and these practices apply to and benefit them as well. I didn’t feel any shaming or judgement from this podcast. Nice way to start the day.

    Speak up
    The volume is so low on this podcast. I understand your gentle delivery is an appropriate and effective way to demonstrate your insight. But that mixed with the low levels of recording make it almost impossible to hear. Unfortunately, I had to unfollow.

    Calm, gentle, practical parenting advice
    My go-to, I put on a quick episode at breakfast to help put me in the right frame of mind for the day’s homeschooling adventures. I love his calm voice and manner and the way he mostly gets right to the point without all the twaddle
  • Jewelmon3
    I love this podcast!
    Kim has such a gracious way of delivering incredibly valuable parenting tips. Short, encouraging tidbits for the little things from nap time struggles to sibling rivalry. The practical advice on how to respond and react as a parent have been so helpful.

    Too judgmental
    There is so much judgement, shaming and pressure put on parents. Sadly, this podcast is just another shame-fest. For example, the screen time episode shames family movie night. Not only that, like so much other parenting guidance, the tips often sound helpful, but I have yet to see many of them work with my kid, which just makes it seem like I’m failing (a recent example is the episode on not interrupting; my kid still interrupts like crazy. Amazingly enough, I love her anyway.)
