    So helpful!
    Every episode has offered scientific and real life insight as well as actionable steps on each topic discussed. Thanks for avoiding the ads as well. It’s much easier to stay focused when ads aren’t coming on.

    Thoughtful and actionable
    Appreciated the recent episode with Morin and the comment about how to share your thinking with your kid at the grocery store when you decline the donations. It's so easy to go into autopilot mode when going through the day, but it's important to take time to be present with your kid. It's incredible how much we're teaching them, both good and bad. Thank you.

    Shared Insights and Wisdom
    Sarah’s wisdom is palpable as is her wonderful capacity to invite thoughtful guests who are specialists in their field. While her style is easy and conversational, her knowledge and wisdom go deep. This is such a worthwhile podcast for new parents!

  • JessicaHochman
    Sarah is fantastic!
    This podcast is so relevant and helpful for all parents! It is so easy to get lost in the day to dayness of parenthood —it can feel like we’re always running around—driving kids to school, homework, getting dinner ready, teeth brushing etc etc —and it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most—forming deep, secure, meaningful relationships with our kids. Sarah gives practical and helpful advice to help us form these important attachments in a clear and thoughtful way. I am so appreciative of her and her podcast!

    Excellent Parenting/Caregiving Resource
    As a clinical psychologist and a parent, I have found this podcast to provide an excellent balance of evidence-based information and real-world, practical advice. I’ve listened and received benefit for myself and my family, and I’ve recommended specific episodes to clients as well.

    Incredible podcast
    I searched quite awhile for an evidence based podcast on child psychology, especially in infancy, to help guide me in how to foster my child’s mental and emotional needs from an early age. I feel SO lucky to have found this podcast - it has met those desires and SO much more. Another review mentioned feeling empowered and that is such a great summary. No matter the topic, I always feel empowered, calmed, and informed by evidence based conversations and advice. It has been my go to since finding it when my daughter was 8 months and I feel so thankful for this space. My only wish is that I had found it sooner! Thanks Dr. Bren for creating this truly incredible podcast!

    You’re not alone!
    If your child’s behavior seems like it’s going to push you over the edge, Dr Bren has an episode for that! So many tips and stories, def great for any parent who needs strategies for dealing with some of the tougher moments — and would appreciate feeling less frustrated alone.

    Engaging, easy-to-grasp concepts
    Securely attached provides digestible content on parenting and establishing a secure attachment with your child that has the ability to soothe you as a parent! Dr. Sarah Bren is super knowledgable about neuropsychology and child development and she shares her expertise in a very easy-to-understand, palatable way. Also, Dr. Bren’s guests are some of the most renowned attachment researchers and clinicians, so I can trust that that information provided is highly researched and relevant.

    Love this podcast!
    Absolutely love this podcast. Attachment theory is something I’ve been extremely interested in but have had a hard time understanding how to practically incorporate it into parenting. Dr. Sarah provides down to earth ways to create secure attachments with your children and practice positive, respectful parenting.

    Clear And Logical Parenting Tips
    So happy to have found this podcast! As a new mom of twins, I found I had so many questions and doubts about parenting and needed some answers without having to read an entire book. This is the podcast that helps me sleep better at night, knowing I’m on the right track and that good parenting is a practice!

    Best Parental Podcast By Far
    I discovered Dr. Bren’s Instagram first a month ago. I guess social media’s algorithm can really predict what information to push out to each individual users based on their needs. I’m expecting my first baby by the end of the year and I always want to get more educated and be prepared for the motherhood and parenthood. I’m nervous for becoming a mom but I don’t want to have this fear going into parenthood or just repeat mistakes my parents have made. I browsed through some of her contents on IG, it totally makes sense to me and aligns with what I truly believe in parenting. Her works are backed up by lots of research works which my husband heavily focuses on when it comes down to our discussion. She doesn’t give a random suggestions or any conventional thoughts passed down by the last generation which helps me to understand better. Then, I went on to her website to find out more of her information. The information up there are amazing because my background is in early childhood education and she touches so many different aspects of child development milestones, social emotional learning, physical health, how to educate our next generation with strong and soft mind, and social issues we are facing nowadays. Her podcast informs me with a lot of different opinions but also connects with issues parents may face down the road. I always listen to her podcast when I’m free or doing chores. Her podcast makes me feel powered and knowing how to face it when the difficulties show up. Thank you, Dr. Bren.

    This podcast is parenting gold!
    I love this podcast and I have listed to many parenting podcasts. It is a great resource to cut through the Instagram noise. Dr. Bren offers sound advice and does a great job recognizing the nuances and manages to often address those too.
  • BGrone
    As a dad, this podcast is so helpful
    I’ve listened to so many of these episodes and every time I walk away feeling more confident about my parenting and more connected to my son. I really appreciate how Dr. Sarah explains things, very relatable and straightforward.
  • Diego Cariño
    Best parenting podcast available!
    This podcast has boosted my parenting confidence and has really helped me to understand the psychology behind my kids emotions and big feelings. Every episode contains a wealth of knowledge and has become my go to parenting podcast. I highly reccommend listening to Securely Attached to parents with kids of all ages!
  • Lauren D. B.
    My “go to” as a new mom
    An enlightened and reassuring resource that makes you more confident in your parenting. There’s so much you could follow and listen to, and I find myself coming back to this podcast every time. No overwhelming or deflating list of “shoulds” here. Dr. Sarah Bren offers insightful perspective you can easily act on (or not - she leaves it up to you by giving you a solid foundation to inform why you choose to do or not do something as a parent). Something you’ll both enjoy listening to and get so much out of - I highly recommend.

    Parenting GOLD!
    While every episode has been tremendously helpful, Sarah’s interview with Dana Rosenbloom in episode 6 is a masterclass in attuned, attachment-based parenting. Great conversation, practical tactics. Oh, and listen all the way to the end. You’ll be glad you did. Can’t wait for the next episode!! Thanks!
