The Wide Awake Parenting Podcast

Join psychologist Dr. Kirsten Kuzirian for research-backed insights that help you understand what's really happening in those challenging parenting moments—and respond from wisdom rather than worry. Every other week, we explore child development, brain science, and practical strategies through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. From tantrums to teen struggles, from ADHD to anxiety, we dive into the real stuff with warmth, honesty, and zero judgment. This isn't about perfect parenting scripts or one-size-fits-all solutions. 20 minutes of insight that honors your instincts and the science. For parents ready to stay awake to what matters most.
