139: Parenting Without Power Struggles: The Advice You Haven’t Heard Yet with Naomi Aldort

Are you parenting… or just Googling your way through parenting?

A recent national poll found that 80% of parents with children ages 0–4 are turning to social media for advice on things like toilet training, sleep struggles, discipline, and nutrition. But instead of feeling more confident, many parents say they feel more confused.

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with internationally respected parenting expert and bestselling author Naomi Aldort to talk about what it looks like to parent without all the digital noise.

Naomi is the author of Listen to Your Baby, a reassuring guide that helps parents build trust, reduce stress, and respond to their child’s cues with confidence instead of fear or reactivity.

And let me tell you — this conversation was not your typical parenting advice.

Instead of quick fixes or discipline scripts, Naomi shares a different approach rooted in connection, leadership, and trusting your instincts.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many parents feel overwhelmed by social media advice
• How to rebuild confidence in your own parenting instincts
• 3 things to do when a toddler bites or hits
• A fresh perspective on teaching “good” behavior without shaming or labeling
• What’s really happening when your child won’t listen — and how to respond differently
• Unique techniques for handling sibling fighting that move beyond punishment or forced apologies

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was Naomi’s perspective on sibling conflict and those “in one ear and out the other” moments. Instead of escalating or repeating ourselves endlessly, she shares alternative strategies that focus on emotional regulation and respectful leadership — techniques that may feel different from what many of us grew up with.
