Podcast Episode 271: Let Them Eat Sugar: Busting the Mom Myths that Simply Aren’t True
Ah, parenting—an epic journey filled with love, joy, and…a whole lot of myths (especially the ones about sugar and hyperactivity in kids). You’ve probably heard them all from the well-meaning neighbor, your aunt with three grown kids, and even from the depths of the internet.
Listen… parenting is tough enough without a Greek chorus of myths shouting in your ear. By debunking these myths, you can focus on what truly matters: understanding and responding to your child’s individual needs.
In this podcast episode we’re going to tackle some of the most popular myths about child behavior.
So, the next time someone warns you about the perils of sugar, late-night hyperactivity, or how quiet kids can’t have ADHD, just smile and remember—you’ve got the myth-busting knowledge to handle it all.
And maybe even enjoy that cupcake together. 😉
Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a hilarious and enlightening myth-busting adventure!
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- The origins of common myths about child behavior
- The impact believing these myths can have on your parenting style and relationship with your children
- Symptoms of ADHD that are commonly overlooked or dismissed because of parenting myths
- The importance of finding credible research and not a singular study to help inform your approach to parenting
