My pal Amanda is back with me for this episode. We have a much needed rant about dealing with toddlers. We also do some pretty deep work about our efforts to parent differently than we were parented. Sometimes that means looking at some of the traumatic experiences we had as children and then undoing that mindset so that we don't impose it on our children. Like it said, it gets deep.

Show Notes:

• Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won't Save Black America by Stacey Patton

• Friend in my head (and on Twitter) and fellow black mom podcaster, Akilah Richards is teaching an online workshop about raising liberated children of color called Raising Free People.

• Some books that have helped me get some perspective on life with a toddler:
  1. No Bad Kids by Janet Lansbury
  2. Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn
  3. The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.
