Ryan Allen, LPCC-S, LPC, is a licensed therapist with a decade of expertise working with young children and their families. A parent of two young kids, Ryan creates free resources for nearly 1 million parents and child caregivers on both TikTok and IG, providing guidance and support to shift away from traditional punitive approaches towards fostering environments of mutual respect.
I intentionally bring up several controversial topics to get his thoughts.
Is it true....
That therapists are perfect parents?That your pediatricianâs advice is the golden rule?That kids grow out of behaviors?That you shouldnât say âgood jobâ?That you have to read to your kids every night?That all it takes to extinguish a behavior is playing your cards right?Is there such a thing as a naughty or bad kid?If your child knows better and does it anyway, isnât that manipulation? Shouldnât you take it personally?Do we need to fix a behavior right away or else it will get worse?
Two questions to ask yourself to actually stop a negative behaviorThe insight that completely shifted Ryanâs professional approachAn alternative approach to the red/green/yellow clip charts

You're 100% right. They do know better. These are smart kids we're talking about here, nothing gets past them!
So, if that's true, why are they still hitting, pushing, screaming, or whathaveyou?

Today you get a true behind the scenes look at what parenting a strong-willed child looks like at someone else's house.
Laura and Mike are full-time working parents with 3 kids living in Minneapolis.
Just a few months ago, they describe what parenting felt like - powerless, volatile, unpredictable. They felt lost, with no toolkit and no shared understanding.
After sharing the barriers they had to overcome to get support, they narrate what really stuck with them through the work that they did on themselves through their time inside Wholeheartedly CALM, my 3 month group coaching program.
They both describe the feeling of empowerment they found through a lot of self reflection and just how amazing it feels to get to enjoy their kids more again. Their kids enjoy being enjoyed as well!â

Failing Motherhood is 4 years old and Wholeheartedly is 5! Weâre taking this opportunity to reflect on the last two years and the lessons Iâve learned - some easily, some the hard way.
Entrepreneurship is such a similar journey to parenting - you donât know what youâre getting into exactly, itâs much harder than anticipated, it requires a lot of self-work and growth, and itâs riddled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. You have to take it one day at a time and make new decisions with every piece of new information.
Take these 5 Lessons into your current business, potential business idea, or parenting journey, and know that your confidence is everything!â

This week weâre taking parenting tips from Hello Fresh!
In ways you may not have realized, being a parent is sort of like working in customer service. In our case, the customer isnât always right, but the way we handle conflict may invite our child to ask for our manager! :)
Your goal as a parent is to build credibility and trust in your âbrandâ rather than bad reviews! As I reveal the two mistakes well-intentioned parents make, you'll be invited to reflect on your default reaction and formulate a balanced response instead.
How to embrace conflict even when it makes you uncomfortableTwo different ways you can take feedback, criticism or complaints from your childA quote thatâs shaped every single day of my parenting

Which one are you? Which one is your partner?
Not only does the second half of your parenting life begin when you understand you're parenting a strong-willed child, but your self awareness sky rockets when you realize you're a Worrying Warrior.
Your next step is to evaluate whether you're parenting with a "Just tell me what to do" parent or an "It is what it is" parent.
In this episode, I break down each of these three parenting approaches, the motives behind their actions, and wedge of divide that grows between parents that feel they need to overcompensate for the other.IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARED...

Say you're sorry. "I'M SORRY! GAAHHH!!" they ROAR from the other room.
Lessons were learned, right?
Often when parenting strong-willed kids, the messages we're trying to send, the skills we're trying to model and the lessons we're trying to teach get lost at sea in a battle of control and BIG emotions.
Instead of checking the box to make ourselves feel better, I'm breaking down why I don't insist my kids apologize and what we do instead.IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARED...

Have you ever thought these things while attempting to play with your kid(s)?
Iâd rather be doing something else. I should want to do this. This is boring. OR This is too much. I feel guilty bc of how much I hate this. This is not fun. This is not easy. How do I get this to stop?
Youâre not alone, and my guest today, Sara Olsher is going to share a brutally honest take at the real life challenges and guilt associated with play and quality time as a parent.
Cancer survivor, divorced single mom of one, author-illustrator and founder of Mighty and Bright, Sara has a credible and honest take on these challenges as well as a unique, creative solution.
We know weâre supposed to spend quality time with our kids. We also know itâs quite often much easier said than done.
In our conversation we take the time to name the obvious realities of being bored, overstimulated or doing it wrong as well as the real dynamics that make it even more challenging like being a single parent, having multiple kids, having a chronic illness, and being neurodivergent or just being under so much stress.
Why we believe itâs a crime that your mental health as a parent is not a consideration with most expert advice of whatâs best for kidsHow 1:1 time prevents negative behaviorsThe critical components to make sure play together ACTUALLY fills their cup
