About this listen

 Project Parenthood, hosted by clinical psychologist and respectful parenting advocate Dr. Nanika Coor, offers a refreshing alternative to traditional parenting advice. We believe raising the next generation involves fostering intentional, collaborative relationships with all children—whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor, or caregiver.Each week, we dive into the depths of childhood, giving voice to young people and exploring their complex humanity. Through real conversations, expert insights, and a commitment to intergenerational healing, we'll learn how to empower children, approach them with curiosity, and build inclusive communities where every child, especially those from marginalized groups, feels seen, heard, and understood. Join us as we work together to create a world where children thrive and understand one another, breaking harmful cycles and building a future of empathy and respect. Because if trauma can be passed down, so can mental wellness and collective understanding.

  • How to stop the reactivity cycle: mindful parenting for less stress (Reissue)

    How to stop the reactivity cycle: mindful parenting for less stress (Reissue)
    Apr 13 2026

    704. Do you ever feel like you go from "zero to sixty" with your kids before you even realize you're angry? If you find yourself in a constant state of parental stress and "fight-or-flight," you aren't alone—and it isn't your fault.

    In this episode from March 2024, Dr. Nanika Coor explains why so many of us have underdeveloped "noticing" skills and how that leads to automatic, reactive parenting. She introduces the intensity scale (1–10) to help you catch your triggers early and shares how mindfulness can help you regain control of your prefrontal cortex so you can parent with clarity and compassion.

    You’ll learn:

    • The Power of Noticing: Why we were taught to ignore our inner experience and how to start listening again.
    • The Intensity Scale: How to set boundaries when you’re at a "Level 2" before you hit a "Level 7" meltdown.
    • 3 Practical Exercises: Simple ways to practice mindfulness through eating, perspective-taking, and observing strong emotions.
    • The "Reset" Button: What to do when you lose your cool and how to use parent-initiated repair to stay connected.

    Stop striving for "perfect" and start being present. Discover how lowering your own anxiety through a regular mindfulness practice creates a more peaceful, resilient relationship with your child.
