Any good parenting podcasts?

I'm looking for a parenting podcast to listen to. One thing I'm looking for is how to deal with typical strong-willed 5-6 year-old behavior. Thanks

Several other podcasts that I listen to:
This American Life
Planet Money
A life Well Wasted

I don't know of any parenting podcasts but you can always sign up to try the Mothering.com community boards -- there are lots of parents there, in some ways it is like a hivemind for those with kids.

You might like the Half Full Social Science for Raising Happy Kids with Christine Carter Ph.D podcast on iTunes.

Here are some videos with Christine Carter.

Christine Carter also has a few podcasts on parenting under Happiness Matters on iTunes.

Also, check out the Childhood Matters podcast on iTunes. Here is their website.

I am a regular listener of Leading Edge Parenting on iTunes and BlogTalkRadio. It's a good show and oftentimes there are great guests, like Alfie Kohn. The host can be long-winded at times and slow to get to the point. Some of the guests (only some) can be new-agey with stuff I don't generally don't believe in, such as Indigo children. Other than that it's a great show. There is something for everyone.
