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!

Understanding the DISC Model in Parenting
The DISC model, a framework describing four primary personality styles—Dominant, Inspiring, Supportive, and Cautious—can be a game-changer in how we parent. Unlike traditional parenting advice that adopts a one-size-fits-all approach, the DISC model emphasizes the unique needs and motivators of each child (and parent).
1. Dominant (D): These children are determined, strong-willed, and often challenge boundaries. They thrive on challenge, choice, and control. Understanding their need to feel autonomous can help parents avoid power struggles and develop a more cooperative relationship.
2. Inspiring (I): These energetic and social individuals crave recognition, approval, and popularity. They often seek attention in unique ways, which, if not met positively, can lead to illogical behavior. Parents can support them by providing genuine praise and opportunities for social engagement.
3. Supportive (S): These individuals are known for their reliability, kindness, and tendency to avoid conflict. Their needs revolve around appreciation, security, and acceptance. By recognizing their efforts and providing a stable environment, parents can encourage them to open up and take more risks.
4. Cautious (C): Detail-oriented and analytical, these children need quality answers, value, and excellence. They might ask many questions and take longer to make decisions. Offering patience and clear, logical explanations helps them feel more secure and understood.
