Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron
Parents don’t snap for one reason — they snap because stress builds faster than awareness.
The Reflective Parenting Podcast, hosted by neuroscientist and mom of three Dr. Cindy Hovington, helps parents understand what’s happening inside them before they snap and why recognizing it sooner is the key to change.
Through personal reflections and conversations with clinicians and experts, the podcast explores why parenting feels so intense, why insight often disappears under stress, and what it means to become a reflective parent.
A reflective parent isn’t perfect or calm all the time. They notice sooner, recover faster, and slowly build more trust in how they show up — even on hard days.
This podcast is your invitation to pause, reflect, and feel less alone.

How to teach our kids to become mentally strong with Amy Morin
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Amy Morin, psychologist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do.
Today we focus on how we as parents can be mentally strong. Being a parent is really hard, and sometimes we can set ourselves up for success by realizing things we are and aren’t doing. Amy has a great way of putting things into perspective & she makes working on ourselves seem possible.
We talk a lot about how we were raised in households where emotions other than happiness were not allowed to be expressed … if this sounds like you, tune in to understand what this means about your parenting style. Amy gives us actionable ways to talk to our kids about their emotions, mistakes and failures depending on their developmental stage. We also chat about how the pandemic has impacted our children and what it means for the future.
Not only has Amy written books for people, parents and women - she also wrote a children’s book about things they CAN do to be strong.
