Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

 

• How to find the grey space in your parenting choices and how black and white thinking can be a sign of your own anxiety and overwhelm.

• The difference between being wishy-washy and intentionally shifting your strategy.

• How to use “love and limits” to navigate situations that may feel overwhelming to your child.

• Why these activities may be more difficult for kids during the summer than during the school year, and how to factor in some of the tools you may not even have known were in place during the year.

• What it means to “shrink a kid’s world” and how parents can do that while still stretching their kid just enough.

• How parents can help determine which activities to push your child to do and which to pull back from.

• Why it might be harder for you to enforce boundaries during the summer, and a helpful mindset shift you can use to feel more comfortable with your choices.

• How you can build your child’s social skills and strengthen their emotional intelligence.
