Am I Parenting Differently—or Am I Overcorrecting? | The Dr. Amber Show- Ep. 13
Monday, 12 October, 2026
Welcome to The Dr. Amber Show—the podcast where parenting psychology meets real life.Each week, licensed psychologist Dr. Amber Thornton explores the emotional side of parenting, relationships, healing, and being human. Through thoughtful reflections, practical psychology, and honest conversations, you'll gain tools to better understand yourself so you can show up with greater intention in your life and your relationships.In This EpisodeAm I parenting differently, or am I overcorrecting? I'm noticing something in this generation of parents: we know exactly what we don't want to repeat from our own childhoods, but many of us are still searching for what to do instead. I'm talking about the anxiety that creeps in when your child is upset after you set a limit, why upsetting your child is not the same as traumatizing them, three reasons I think holding a boundary can feel so hard, and what I believe healthy authority actually looks like.✨ Reflection Prompt:The next time your child is upset about a limit you've set, notice what comes up for you. Is it fear of hurting them, not knowing what to do instead, or discomfort with watching them feel something hard?Ways to Work With Dr. Amber📖 A Parent's Guide to Self-RegulationLearn the PCR Method and practical tools for calmer, more connected parenting.🌱 Becoming the Parent You Needed (BPYN)An 8-week transformational program for parents who want to break generational patterns and parent from a place of emotional awareness and regulation.🧠 Psychological EvaluationsComprehensive virtual ADHD, Autism, and diagnostic evaluations for children and adults.🎤 Speaking & WorkshopsAvailable for keynotes, trainings, and organizational workshops on parenting, mental health, emotional regulation, and psychological well-being.🌐 Learn more: www.dramberthornton.comListen Everywhere🎧 YouTube🎧 Apple Podcasts🎧 SpotifyStay ConnectedInstagram: www.instagram.com/dramberthorntonInstagram: www.instagram.com/thedrambershowWebsite: www.dramberthornton.comIf this episode resonated with you, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who may need it today.Thank you for being here.
