Parenting The Adlerian Way

This is an exciting episode of the podcast!  I have expanded the format to include guest interviews. My inaugural guest is Washington area pediatrician Dr Steve Silvestro.  Dr Silvestro is the creator of The Child Repair Guide, a multimedia child health education platform utilizing video, podcast, and written content designed to help parents “think like a pediatrician” and take ownership over their kids’ health.  

In this episode, I talk to Dr Silvestro about the pandemic and what parents really need to know about coronavirus amidst so much confusion and misinformation.   We talked about which key  statistics parents should be paying attention too. I also asked Dr S’s thoughts on the controversy about kids and if they should or should not wear masks. We delved into the impact of the pandemic on families and education and more!  

I am sure after this interview you will want to learn more from Dr Silvestro so I encourage you to follow him on his platforms:
