Parenting is Easy Podcast
Welcome to "Parenting is Easy, Said No One Ever," the podcast that takes a refreshing and humorous look at the rollercoaster ride otherwise known as parenthood! Please join us as we delve into the honest, unfiltered realities of raising children, where we embrace the messiness, mess-ups, and tribulations that come with the territory.
My name is Chananya [cha-nan-ya, when saying the "CH", pretend you have something stuck in your throat] Abraham, psychotherapist, parent to 5 amazing children, and parent advocate of embracing imperfections! This podcast offers a relatable and inclusive space for parents from all different cultures, nationalities, and religions. We believe that parenting is a universal journey, and it's okay to admit that we don't always have our s**t together. Please feel free to share tips and tricks that work for you and the best ways to hide that white wine or mixed drink without your kids knowing.
Each episode features engaging discussions and heartfelt stories from fellow parents who are navigating the unpredictable, yet amazing terrain of raising children. Our guests, ranging from “experts” to everyday moms and dads, share their personal experiences, insights, and strategies for surviving the challenging yet rewarding moments of parenthood.
But don't worry, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Laughter is the best medicine, and we sprinkle our conversations with plenty of humor, relatable anecdotes, and the occasional drink recipe. After all, a good sense of humor can be a lifesaver when facing those unexpected parenting curveballs.
Whether you're a first-time parent, a seasoned pro, or someone preparing for the wonderful chaos of parenthood, "Parenting is Easy, Said No One Ever" is here to remind you that it's normal to "mess up" and that perfection is not the goal. In fact, we believe that if you’re NOT messing up at least occasionally, YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. Together, we celebrate the beauty in imperfection, embrace the shared struggles, and provide a supportive community where laughter and learning go hand in hand.
Tune in to our podcast and join the conversation as we navigate the twists and turns of parenting together. Remember, you're not alone in this crazy journey!

Happy Teeth, Happy Kids: The Ultimate Guide to Child Dental Care with Dr. Mike - Episode 35
##Dental Visits and Preventative Measures at Home
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child's first dental visit six months after the first tooth comes in, or around their first birthday. This visit is more about educating parents on proper dental care practices than about conducting a thorough cleaning.
At home, parents can play a crucial role in preventing dental issues. Daily routines that include brushing, avoiding sugary snacks before bedtime, and incorporating healthy eating habits can dramatically decrease the risk of dental problems. Understanding that even healthy, natural sugars in milk or juice can lead to cavities is crucial. Offering water instead of sugary beverages and ensuring teeth are cleaned, especially before bedtime, can help maintain oral health.
## Oral Hygiene Tips for Toddlers
As children grow, continuing to emphasize the importance of dental hygiene is essential. For toddlers and young children, making dental care fun can be particularly effective. Use of character-themed toothpaste and toothbrushes, as well as positive reinforcement for a job well done, can make a big difference in their enthusiasm for brushing and flossing.
For older children and adolescents, maintaining good dental hygiene habits can be challenging, especially as they gain more independence. Continuing the conversation about the importance of dental health, the consequences of neglect, and the aesthetic benefits of a healthy smile can motivate them to keep up with their dental hygiene habits.
