The Science of Raising Happy Kids | Riri...

The Masoom Minawala Show
About this episode

Join me for one of the most grounding, eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had—featuring a renowned psychologist and parenting expert on raising emotionally resilient kids without yelling. If you’ve ever wondered how to set firm boundaries and still stay soft, this is your must-listen.From years of working with families across India, our guest saw a pattern: adults carrying childhood wounds of being unseen, unheard, or compared—then unconsciously passing those patterns on. She turned that insight into action, blending neuroscience with simple, daily practices that help parents regulate first, so children can co-regulate and thrive. Her work—spanning research on humming, visualization, and EFT—champions a transformative message: you can’t delete old memories, but you can rewire your responses and break the cycle.* Emotional Neglect, Defined: what it looks like in everyday Indian homes (minimizing feelings, constant “don’t cry,” parental fights behind closed doors) and how it shapes anxiety and hyper-vigilance in kids.* Calm ≠ Permissive: why “calmly disciplining” works, and how authoritative (warm + firm) parenting leads to the best outcomes—academically, socially, emotionally.* Repair After Rupture: a step-by-step way to apologize, co-regulate with touch and breath, and reset the relationship without normalizing repeated blow-ups.* The 80/20 of Boundaries: pick two battles out of ten; let the rest be learning moments (like feeling cold in shorts) to build independence without power struggles.* A Nervous-System Toolkit for Busy Parents: abdominal/coherent breathing, *evidence-backed* humming, EFT tapping, and nightly visualization rituals you can do as a family in 5–10 minutes.* Rewriting Harmful Scripts: moving beyond comparisons, body-shaming, and scarcity talk (“we’ll become poor”) to language that builds self-worth, resilience, and respect.If you’re a parent (or future parent) juggling work stress, guilt, and meltdowns—or an adult trying to break inherited patterns—this episode will give you calm, practical tools and a gentler way to lead. You’ll leave with scripts, rituals, and a new confidence: discipline can be firm, and love can be steady.Key Takeaways- Calm is a strategy: “Calmly” is how you discipline, not what you do instead of discipline.-You can’t delete memories—only reconsolidate them: change the body’s associations, change your reactions.Practice before the crisis: daily regulation makes the “pause” available when triggers hit.One buffering adult can change a trajectory: it doesn’t have to be a parent—safety is relational.Pick your battles, lead with warmth: clarity + kindness beat control every time.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.Want to buy Masoom’s book?
