The Terrible Twos In Perpetuity

John Rosemond

Apr 01, 2024

Is modern parenting doing more harm than good? In this episode, I unravel the complex layers of how today's parenting practices may be inadvertently extending childhood well into the adult years. I take a hard look at the practices that label typical two-year-old behaviors as disorders and challenge the authority of parents, replacing time-tested discipline with emotion-driven reactions. By sharing my insights from inside the psychology profession and from my own creative musings, this episode proposes a reevaluation of parenting norms and mental health rhetoric. Join me as we confront these critical issues head-on, advocating for a return to principles that instill resilience and respect within the family fabric.

Because I Said So!

Because I Said So! is a podcast by John Rosemond. John is the nation’s leading parenting expert and provides common-sense advice for raising your children. John is a nationally syndicated columnist, author and public speaker. His audiences are left feeling empowered, educated and entertained.

A family psychologist by license, John points out to all his audiences that “psychology has caused more problems than it has solved for American parents.” John’s mission is to be a counter-weight to the psychological parenting paradigm that was sold to America in the late 1960s/early 1970s, restore commonsense to the raising of children, and give parents the guidance needed to raise happy, well-mannered children who will, as adults, contribute value to culture and society.
