    Bucket Emptying: Parenting in Public

    02/03/2026 | 17 min
    Children should be seen and not heard. Do you agree?

    We’ve all heard that expression, and we were all probably told this by our own parents! But I have noticed more and more examples of adult only areas of public spaces - on trains or in shopping malls - so I wanted to tackle this head on.

    For the record, I don’t agree with that saying, and in this episode I am going to share five reasons why it is better for us and our children when we encourage and support them to be included.

    So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…

    Highlights from this episode:
    01:26 - Seen but not heard
    03:17 - Learning on the job
    08:52 - Plan A, B, and C
    14:16 - Focus on what you CAN control

    Managing Emotional Outbursts

    26/02/2026 | 31 min
    Outbursts, tantrums, meltdowns… whatever you call them, they’re not fun!

    But your kids are not hardwired to deal with their emotions, it’s a skill they learn over time, and it’s your job as parent to support them and encourage them to develop those skills.

    It’s not easy - I can attest to that, having raised two kids myself! And that’s why in this episode I help you understand what causes emotional outbursts, how these present themselves in different ages and stages, and what you can do to support them.

    So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…

    Highlights from this episode:
    00:59 - Fear of judgement
    02:32 - Emotional regulation is learned
    07:43 - Verbal and physical escalations
    10:35 - The teen years
    14:08 - The biggest causes of emotional outbursts
    18:23 - How to handle outbursts
    23:10 - Keep them safe
    27:17 - What is the skills gap?

    Confidence is on the Decline

    19/02/2026 | 40 min
    Did you know 1 in 3 children have little or no confidence?

    Did you know girls are more likely to downplay their confidence?

    And did you know that children from non-white and minority ethnic groups are likely to have less confidence than their white male friends?

    Today I speak to Kathryn McColl, co-founder of Hark, the education agency that delivers programmes to over 90% of UK schools. Hark recently published their Listen Up report, which collected anonymous data from 1,400 children across the UK to better understand what they call the ‘confidence crisis.’

    I drill down into some of their jaw-dropping insights, including the above, as we discuss why confidence appears to be on the decline among young people.

    So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…

    Highlights from this episode:
    02:32 - What is Hark?
    05:43 - Confidence means opportunity
    11:08 - The impact of role models
    15:11 - Transitioning from primary to secondary school
    21:46 - Friction teaches confidence
    27:09 - Post exam stress
    29:37 - Girls hide their confidence

    Bucket Emptying: Parenting Trends and How They Affect Our Own Parenting

    16/02/2026 | 21 min
    From gentle parenting to FAFO, social media bombards us with content about the latest trends, so how do you really know what works and what doesn’t?

    In today’s bucket emptying episode, I talk you through some of the biggest parenting trends, and explain how they can be impacting you, and the ways in which you might then choose to parent your own kids.

    Because parenting is all-consuming. It’s a 24/7/365 gig, and the trends of day, whether we subscribe to them or not, can feel like they define us as parents. I’m here to tell you they don’t!

    So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…

    Highlights from this episode:
    00:48 - FAFO Parenting
    03:30 - Are we defined by the trends?
    06:23 - Labels take away the overwhelm
    09:56 - There’s no one size fits all approach
    12:35 - Parental intuition
    15:22 - Science vs media

Acerca de How Not to Screw Up Your Kids

Hello, I'm psychologist and parenting expert Dr Maryhan and this is How Not To Screw Up Your Kids, the podcast for parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone else who wants to be part of a movement to raise confident children who grow up believing in themselves.Follow now for twice weekly episodes - on Monday's you'll find shorter Bucket Emptying episodes, with longer episodes each Thursday.The greatest gift we can give our children is self-belief. It will get them further in life than any qualification and is absolutely possible for each and every child; we just need the right information and support around us to teach them.The old saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child” couldn’t be more true than now. Parenting has got a whole lot harder; not just because we are busier than ever but because our children are growing up in an ever changing, fast-paced world, which is so different to the one we grew up in. Our children have more pressure to be better, look better, do better, and in a world where lives are so publicly scrutinised and commented on through social media it’s really no wonder we’re seeing mental health problems sky rocketing amongst children, teens, and young adults. What you can expect from this podcast are honest conversations about parenting.We’ll talk confidence resilience, anxiety, managing tech, and all the topics you’d expect as well blowing the lid off the widely help misconception that children are innately resilient. They’re not!This podcast is for people who want to get real about parenting. You understand it can get messy sometimes and aren’t afraid to admit it. I have had more than my fair share of messy and I will no doubt share these with you along the way. I won’t dress things up but I will always give you something practical to take away and use in each and every episode. My guests and experts will be real people who have overcome their own adversities and bring with them a message to us as parents, as well as inspiring stories.So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation...We'd love to hear from you!We want to hear what you love and what you don't love about the podcast, so we can keep making it better: https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/SEyYrxGB Hosted on Acast.
