  • Self-Reg with Dr. Stuart Shanker

    “There is no such thing as a bad kid.” Dr. Dan welcomes international parenting expert and guest Dr. Stuart Shanker (https://self-reg.ca/). This is an encouraging discussion about the concept of self-regulation, stress, and Dr. Shanker’s paradigm-shifting new book, SELF-REG: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life https://www.amazon.com/Self-Reg-Child-Stress-Successfully-Engage/dp/1594206090. Dr. Shanker knows all children are good and reveals to Dr. Dan his revolutionary new understanding of stress and how it affects children’s emotions and behavior, hidden stressors, as well as practical advice for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life with 5 steps. Dr. Dan and Dr. Shanker discuss how Self-regulation is the nervous system’s way of managing stress and the fact that before parents can teach their children self-regulation they must master it themselves. The moving discussion highlights the fact that there are no bad kids and that when you see a child differently you see a different child. Dr. Stuart Shanker is a distinguished research professor of psychology and philosophy at York University and the creator of The MEHRIT Centre. He attended the University of Toronto, where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees. At the University of Oxford, he obtained his D. Phil. with distinction in philosophy and his work is used globally. At the end of the episode Dr. Dan asks Dr. Shanker about his own Parent Footprint moment. Dr. Shanker tells a moving and personal tale about his own stress as a Dad during a difficult time and reveals how in that moment he realized all parents must learn to forgive themselves and accept their own humanity.

  • Rethinking Discipline with Your Child’s Brain in Mind
    Dr. Dan is joined by Dr. Tina Payne Bryson to discuss her pioneering and revolutionary work in area of brain-based parenting. Dr. Tina Bryson is the co-author with Dr. Daniel Siegel of two New York Times bestsellers (The Whole Brain Child; No Drama Discipline) and is Executive Director of the Center for Connection in Pasadena.
    In 2000 Dr. Bryson was a new mother, immersed in studying the brain and simultaneously working on her Ph.D. with Dr. Daniel Siegel. Her work and real life learning reached new heights when she applied practical findings with her own child (and other parents) and out of this work she eventually wrote The Whole Brain Child and changed how millions of parents approach their child’s behavior.
    Dr. Bryson challenges today’s current trends in parenting – especially discipline -- by exploring the mind behind the behaviors in children instead of just focusing on the behavior. Listeners to this episode will be enlightened by Dr. Bryson’s basic discussion of the brain and nervous system and discover that a child’s behavior can change over time. And her explanation of the differences between discipline and punishment gives leads every listener to a profound on-air “aha” moment -- and a teachable lesson and take-away every parent will want to immediately put into action.
    In addition to lecturing internationally and working with private patients, Dr. Bryson also helps parents, schools, educators and the research community to learn best practices of brain based parenting and ways to transform parenting, discipline, and learning.
    Dr. Dan wraps up this episode by asking Tina the one thing all parents need to do today to revolutionize their own parenting right now and ends with Tina’s intimate Parent Footprint Moment about how she had to let go of her own fear and her own need to fix things in order to become a present parent.
