266: How to Build Your Village with Ali Stahlwood

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/23

In this episode, I sit down with Ali Stalwood, known as Wildly Ginger on Instagram, to talk about something every parent craves but struggles to find — community. After moving back home to Pennsylvania, Ali realized that waiting for a “village” wasn’t working… so she built one. What started as a simple dinner rotation between families turned into a thriving support system built on shared meals, honesty, and a “work it out” mindset. We dive into how she and her friends created sustainable connection

265: Yes, Parenting is a Full Time Job

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/21

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about something that’s been bugging me for a while—how we’ve forgotten that our kids and our homes are actually our jobs. Somewhere along the line, we started treating family life like an afterthought—whatever scraps of energy we have left after work, errands, and endless to-dos. But what if we reframed it? What if we treated home and family like the meaningful, skillful work it is? In this episode, I share the mindset shift that completely changed how I

264: Make Dinner Without Cooking Every Night

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/16

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest modern parenting struggles—how to feed your family real food without cooking every single night. It’s not about meal plans or Pinterest-perfect prep days—it’s about creating systems that work in real life. I’m sharing how to think like our grandmothers did: stretch meals, simplify ingredients, and ditch the guilt around not being a “foodie.” You’ll learn how to make dinner easier through batch cooking basics, simple proteins, freezing tricks, and

263: Tiny Dictators

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/14

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m tackling a big one—what I call tiny dictators. You know the type: the kid who decides who sits where, who can talk, or which parent is “allowed” in the bathroom. When I hear a parent say, “My child won’t let me…,” I know we’re already in trouble. Kids are hardwired to want control, but when we hand over the wheel, it makes them feel unsafe and chaotic. In this episode, I’ll walk you through why “keeping the peace” by giving in always backfires, how to reclaim your

262: Taming Tantrums

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/09

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood parts of parenting—the toddler tantrum. What’s developmentally normal? What’s not? And why do some kids melt down over a peeled banana while others roll with it? I’m walking you through the four big triggers that cause tantrums (hungry, tired, overstimulated, and loss of control) and which of those you can actually do something about. From the truth about “hangry” kids and snack culture, to overtired toddlers, overstimulation, and the

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/07

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m sharing some simple solutions for those middle-of-the-night kid struggles—growing pains, restless legs, and even the start of night terrors. We’ve all been there: your child is finally drifting off and suddenly their legs are twitching, cramping, or they’re up screaming in pain. I’ll walk you through what might be going on (from magnesium loss to plain old overtiredness), and the easy remedies that have worked wonders in my own home. From magnesium sprays and chamomile

260: Halloween Candy Isn't "Neutral"

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/10/02

This week I’m diving into a hot-button October topic: Halloween candy, picky eating, and the myth that food is “neutral.” Everywhere I look, I see advice about making candy an everyday side dish so kids won’t care about it come Halloween. And you guys—I can’t even. Candy is supposed to be a big deal! It’s a treat, not dinner. In this episode, I unpack why serving candy at every meal backfires, how processed “snacky snacks” set kids up for picky eating, and why nourishing food matters way more than

259: Interrupting Kids (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/30

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about one of the most sanity-sucking habits kids have: interrupting. You know the drill—you finally sit down for a conversation with another adult, and boom, your kid is right there, cutting in with something that definitely could have waited. I’ll share why letting kids constantly interrupt actually creates clingy behavior, how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, and the simple little trick I taught Pascal when he was three that he still remembers at

258: Temperament is NOT a diagnosis

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/25

In this episode, I’m unpacking something I’ve been seeing everywhere lately: the rush to slap a diagnosis on our kids when it might actually just be temperament. Don’t get me wrong—diagnoses can be life-changing and absolutely necessary. But not every shy kid is “on the spectrum,” not every focused moment is “ADHD hyperfocus,” and not every earworm means your brain is broken. I’m breaking down the four classic temperaments, what research says about temperament vs. personality, and how parenting

257: Stop Asking Your Kid Why (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/23

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m tackling two parenting habits that need to go: asking your toddler why they did something, and thinking co-regulation “isn’t working.” Spoiler—your toddler doesn’t know why they hit their sibling or why they won’t poop on the potty, and expecting them to explain just sets you both up for frustration. And co-regulation? It’s not a trick to stop tantrums—it’s you staying calm in the middle of their chaos. That’s it. No scripts, no magic code, no perfect outcome. Just you

256: Toddlers, Tantrums & Boundaries with Devon Kuntzman

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/18

This week I sat down with Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood and author of the brand-new book by the same name, to talk all things toddlers—the good, the messy, and the meltdown-y. We dug into why parents tie their worth to behavior, how “gentle parenting” often slips into permissiveness, and why connection isn’t a checklist, it’s a feeling. Devon shared her “recipe for effective discipline” (connection, limits, follow-through, teaching skills), plus we got real about decoding

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/16

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most common—and misunderstood—potty training struggles: poop withholding. This isn’t your kid being stubborn or “doing it on purpose.” Withholding is a muscular reaction to anxiety, and right now, it’s the majority of the work I do with families. I’ll break down the signs to watch for (from smearing to requesting a diaper), why so many specialists and pediatricians get this wrong, and how withholding connects to constipation, pee accidents, and even

254: Stop Over-Processing Your Child’s Emotions

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/11

In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest mistakes I see parents making right now: over-processing our kids’ emotions. Somewhere along the line, “validate their feelings” turned into full-on therapy sessions every time your toddler cried about the blue cup. And guys, that’s not helping them—it’s drowning everyone. I’ll break down the difference between validating and over-processing, why saying “you make me…” is so damaging, and how dumping our emotional baggage on our kids leads to anxious,

253: Stop "Trying" To Potty Train (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/09

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m tackling one of the biggest potty training mistakes I see right now: “trying” to potty train. And by trying, I don’t mean giving it an honest go—I mean sampling it here and there, doing it only on weekends, or half-committing and hoping your kid magically figures it out. Spoiler: that just sends mixed messages and sets everyone up for frustration. Potty training, like learning to read, takes consistency and commitment. In this episode, I’m breaking down why “there is

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/09/04

This week, I sat down with Andreina Diaz, mom of two, PhD student, and researcher behind Toddler TV Trap, to talk about one of the hottest (and most controversial) topics in parenting right now: screen time and autism. Andreina’s work looks at how highly stimulating shows like Cocomelon and Ms. Rachel may be impacting kids’ brains, what new research is showing about subtypes of autism, and why reducing or removing screens has led to jaw-dropping changes for some families. We dive into the difference

2025/09/02

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m giving you permission to stop overthinking food—especially when it comes to toddlers. If you’ve been stressing about cooking full dinners every night, fighting over veggies, or wondering if your kid is “eating enough,” this one’s for you. I’m breaking down why toddlers eat like snakes (yep, in bursts, not evenly), why small portions and variety work better than giant scoops, and why it’s less about complicated recipes and more about balancing fat, protein, and carbs

250: Make Room For Your Child's Growth

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/28

In this episode, I’m taking a hard look at the way we’ve built our lives—and how so much of it just doesn’t leave room for kids to actually be kids. Between work schedules, overstuffed calendars, and the pressure to check off milestones like it’s a parenting to-do list, we’re burning out while expecting our little ones to perform like mini adults. I’m talking about why parenting is a long game (not a quick fix), why connection can’t be squeezed into 15 minutes on the checklist, and how to bring back

2025/08/26

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m sharing a story from a party I went to with Lenore Skenazy (yep, the Free-Range Kids legend herself) that left me buzzing for days—and not because of the drinks. It was the conversations. Real, curious, ask-me-anything kind of conversations with people who weren’t checking boxes or looking for labels, but actually listening and sharing stories. And it hit me: we’ve lost that art. Between social media, polarization, and just being too damn busy, we don’t sit down and

This week, I sat down with the one and only Lenore Skenazy — the “Free-Range Mom” who made headlines as “America’s Worst Mom” after letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway alone. We dove deep into the cultural shift that’s replaced neighborhood play with constant supervision, how fear-driven parenting is feeding the kids’ mental health crisis, and why the most powerful antidote to anxiety is actually giving kids more independence. Lenore shared hilarious stories, jaw-dropping stats (spoiler: the

Back-to-school season can be rough, and if you’re already seeing those epic after-school meltdowns, you’re not alone. In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about after-school restraint collapse—why kids hold it together all day only to fall apart the second they get home—and what you can do to ease the chaos. I’ll walk you through three key strategies (spoiler: food, no questions, and big play), plus why shifting dinner to that 3–4pm window can totally change the game for your family. If dinner has
