Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron

Author: Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.

What if one book could help you see yourself more clearly as a parent?As parents, we're constantly learning. We listen to podcasts, read books, and consume endless advice online, but real growth happens when we pause long enough to reflect on what we're learning and what it means for our own lives.Welcome to The Reflective Parenting Podcast, a parenting book club led by neuroscientist, international speaker, mom of three, and founder of Curious Neuron, Dr. Cindy Hovington.Each month, we'll explore a new book together and reflect on the ideas that can help us better understand ourselves, our emotions, our relationships, and our parenting. Every week, I'll share reflections, insights from neuroscience, and practical takeaways to help you become more self-aware, manage stress more effectively, navigate conflict with greater confidence, and show up as the parent you want to be.This isn't a book summary podcast. It's an invitation to slow down as parents, think more deeply, and grow alongside your children. Because becoming a better parent isn't about consuming more information; it's about reflecting on it with me by your side. Find out which book I will be covering next month:https://curiousneuron.com/podcast/ Join the private group on Facebook:www.facebook.com/groups/reflectiveparentingpodcast/Start training your emotional awareness for FREE:https://tremendous-hustler-7333.kit.com/84371dc0b2Purchase my course The Emotionally Aware Parent.https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Follow us on Instagram @drcindyhovington or Facebook @curiousneuronparenting

Reflection on the Hidden Risks Inside Kids' Group Chats
Episode 7
Tuesday, 14 July, 2026

Send us Fan MailWhat does Toy Story 5 have to do with raising emotionally healthy kids? Trigger warning: masturbation is mentioned in this episode. Much more than I expected. After watching the movie with my children, I found myself reflecting on something far bigger than screen time: the conversations we're not having about friendship, group chats, and cyberbullying. In this episode, I share the true story of a Grade 6 classroom that left me speechless, explore what research tells us about the long-term impact of cyberbullying, and offer three simple reflection questions you can use to start meaningful conversations with your own child. If we're going to hand our children devices, we also need to help them build the emotional skills to navigate the digital world.Join our book club for only $9.99 for an entire year!https://reflectiveparentclub.circle.so/checkout/reflective-parenting-podcast-book-clubRead my blog post about cyberbullying:https://curiousneuron.com/2026/07/12/research-finds-that-cyberbullying-harms-kids-mental-health-over-time/Read the scientific article I shared with you here:Traditional bullying and cyberbullying in the digital age and its associated mental health problems in children and adolescents: a meta‐analysisSupport the showMore ways to become a Reflective Parent with Curious Neuron:Join our NEW book club for only $9.99!https://reflectiveparentclub.circle.so/checkout/reflective-parenting-podcast-book-clubLearn about the next books we will be covering:https://curiousneuron.com/podcast/Get your FREE emotional awareness training for parents and kids below (comes with a poster, workbook and video):https://tremendous-hustler-7333.kit.com/84371dc0b2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4iEbFRZ5QQ&t=12sGrab our course for $99, The Emotionally Aware Parent https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Join the next 6-8 week cohort for parents, kids or teens:https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Or email me info@curiousneuron.com to book emotional training sessions for your organization.
