Episode Introduction
In this episode of Audio Signals Podcast, Dr. Alison Escalante explores her enlightening book, unpacking the transformative "Sigh, See, Start" method designed to guide parents through the complexities of raising children in our modern society.
Drawing from her rich background as both a pediatrician and a mother, Dr. Escalante shares insights honed over a decade of addressing the growing epidemic of childhood anxiety.
At the heart of the method lies an understanding of the profound influence of social media, societal pressures, and the pervasive anxiety gripping today's youth.
Dr. Escalante introduces the concept of "sighing" as a neurologically-rooted tool to foster safety, unlock higher-level thinking, and forge deeper connections with our children. It's a rallying cry for parents to be fully present in their parenting journey.
Mindfulness and keen observation form the cornerstone of the "Sigh, See, Start" method, equipping parents with practical strategies to navigate the myriad challenges they face daily. Through Dr. Escalante's compassionate lens, imperfection isn't a hindrance but rather a catalyst for growth—a departure from the suffocating grip of perfectionism towards a more adaptive, learning-oriented approach.
Crucially, the method transcends one-size-fits-all solutions, acknowledging the diverse tapestry of family dynamics and circumstances. Dr. Escalante extends a guiding hand to parents grappling with various hurdles, from resource constraints to health issues and unconventional family structures.
The conversation delves into actionable insights, from fostering collaborative problem-solving with our children to addressing daunting issues like bullying head-on. Dr. Escalante's personal anecdotes, including her battle with long COVID, underscore the method's effectiveness in maintaining familial bonds amidst adversity.
As the episode draws to a close, Dr. Escalante leaves us with a poignant reminder of the power of imperfection and the resilience it nurtures within families. She extends an open invitation to explore the depths of her book, contemplating its transformative potential not just for individuals but for the wider parenting community.
Join us on this journey of discovery, as we embrace imperfection, cultivate resilience, and forge deeper connections with our children through the empowering "Sigh, See, Start" method.

Going into detail about each step, she clearly explains how to implement this approach in everyday situations where parents may feel overwhelmed and shares real results from parents and children who use the technique:
In the vein of Good Inside, this book offers a simple approach and practical, proven strategies any parent can use. It also explores parenting culture and why it has become more and more intense over recent decades.

The book is available now at your favorite bookseller.
