Dr. Will Cole sits down with developmental psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Aliza Pressman to explore what it really takes to raise resilient, emotionally intelligent kids in an anxious world. They discuss how overcorrection and rescuing can unintentionally undermine growth, and why true parenting strength comes from calm, not control. Dr. Pressman shares how to regulate your own nervous system, set healthy boundaries, and help kids build confidence and grit. They also dive into AI’s impact on attention, teenage brain health, and the balance between connection and independence. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast.
