Gratitude Overflowing! Listening to Janet Lansbury's Unruffled has been an absolute game-changer for me as a parent. Her insights on respectful parenting have not only transformed the way I approach challenges with my little ones but have also deepened the connection we share. Janet's wisdom resonates like a comforting hug, reminding us that parenting is a journey, not a destination. Her thoughtful perspectives and gentle guidance inspire me to embrace the art of respectful communication and understand my child's perspective better. Thank you, Janet, for creating a space where we can learn, grow, and navigate the beautiful chaos of parenthood together. Your Unruffled podcast is a beacon of light in the parenting world, and I'm endlessly grateful for the positive impact it has had on my family.

Do you do “unruffled” spouses? I need it.

[…] Lansbury is well known in some parenting circles and she has a useful website and great podcast Unruffled where she answers parent questions about specific behaviours. Highly […]

Hi Janet. I have two daughters (an almost 4 year old and a 10 mo old). My 4 year old has been responding to boundary setting with avoidant behavior. For example, she will say ‘I don’t want anyone to see me’ when she is expected to do an age appropriate task that she doesn’t want to comply with at the time. I can’t think of any other scenarios in this moment but it happens quite often. Do you have any episodes that cover this? I’d love to hear your perspective and ways to help us work through this behavior.

Hello Janet,

I listen to your podcasts on Spotify on my half an hour to work and half an hour back and I want to express my gratitude, your voice resounds on the back of my head when interacting with my little baby at home as well as when interacting at the school where I work in a kindergarten class. I try to put in practice as best as I can all the RIE approaches I’ve learned.

Thank you so much!

In reply to Katie.

Hi Katie – I am so sorry you got that impression and I’m curious to know where you are seeing Laura or I vilifying public school teachers. Nothing could be further from how I feel. Also wondering if you are misunderstanding this podcast as a written piece. I have included a transcript for readers’ convenience, but these podcasts are intended to be listened to, not read. Again, very sorry to have offended you!

I have listened to your Unruffled podcast for a while, but I’ve been working backwards! I loved it until today. Your “self directed learners outside of school” really seemed to villify public school teachers. I’m a mom who does as much gentle, respectful, whole brain parenting as possible, but I am also a first grade teacher. I strive to provide as much structure as they need to keep the peace and have a safe place to learn and grow. I felt like this episode was biased, horrible, and written from a place of being uneducated in the things that sometimes bind public school teachers to what they “have to” do. I will no longer be listening to your podcast. This has broken my heart today to know that only “private school” educators are valued in your eyes.

In reply to Amanda Zamara. Hurray! Thank you so much, Amanda! I'm thrilled for you and, to be honest, really needed that boost today. :) Thank you again.

I just want to thank you for all the amazing content you provide. I’ve never been able to find a parenting style that fit me and my 22 month old son’s needs until I started to learn about RIE parenting. I outright disagree with the attachment parenting philosophy, and then there are the folks screaming “Put that child down or you’ll spoil him!” And that felt too aloof.
I love the concept of providing confident leadership and boundaries without using shame to discipline. After implementing some of the techniques I’ve learned, I have already seen a positive change in some of my son’s undesirable behaviors. So thank you again, from a very appreciative parent.
