The Problem With Being The 'Easy Kid'
Category: Kids & family
Duration: 00:33:11
Publish Date: 2026-02-20 19:00:00
Description:

This week, Stacey Hicks, Amelia Lester, and guest host Clare Stephens are diving into the 'beige food' epidemic and why modern snack culture might be to blame for your toddler’s refusal to eat anything that isn’t plain pasta or chicken nuggets.

And we discuss the the emotional cost of being an 'easy kid'. If you were the child who always got a gold star, never made a fuss, and now find yourself over-apologising to your barista, this one is for you. We talk about why we might actually want our kids to be a little bit... difficult.

Plus, a heated debate over 'fart-proud' vs. 'fart-shame' households and why there's now official permission to stop feeling guilty about letting your kids watch TV.

Our Recommendations:

⛸️ Stacey recommends getting your kids to record vlog style videos when FaceTiming the relatives gets too boring.
