Respectful Parenting: Janet Lansbury Unruffled - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As a former childcare educator & first time mother — Janet’s work will always be a touchstone. Every episode of this podcast is a reminder and deeper insight into the value of respectful and authentic relationships; they reveal the potential we each have as parents/caregivers in fully loving and leading our toddlers, who are seeking independence and deep connection all at once. These episodes also help me to bring my husband up to speed as he has never had any training in child development, but wants to remain “unruffled” by toddlerhood and all the opportunities it brings. We also benefited so much from Janet’s work on infants our first year of parenthood. I highly recommend her books and blog alongside this podcast. Thank you, Janet!

I started listening to The Unruffled Podcast when my first child was a newborn, alongside reading Janet Lansbury’s book and Magda Gerber’s work. It completely transformed my perspective on parenting in the best way possible. The insights and practical guidance helped me navigate every challenging stage with more confidence and clarity. Now, with my kids at 2 and 4, I still listen every week because there’s always something new to learn that helps me handle the ups and downs of parenting with more patience and understanding. Janet’s calm, reassuring voice and expert advice make this podcast an absolute must-listen for any parent looking for a more respectful and peaceful approach to raising children. I can’t recommend it enough!

Been listening for years, my husband and I have learned so much from Janet and RIE (including via this this podcast ). Janet is love to hear more on older kids (even though you say that’s not your specialty). I enjoyed what you had to say about older kids a few episodes back and it left me wanting more as our oldest is now 10 🤍🤍

Janet’s RIE approach resonates with me and I can’t thank her enough for the change in perspective I have gained! Her voice is excellent, and she is thoughtful. I am a psychiatrist with training and psychodynamic therapy, and her approach has a psychodynamic sensibility.
