Raising Good Humans

This episode originally aired in December 2022.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joshua Sparrow, child, adolescent, and general psychiatrist and associate professor or psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. We delve into how to help children develop realistic goals and positive self-regard, and why the common parenting phrase “just try your best” could actually be harmful.

Discover how understanding your response to expectations can enhance your habits, relationships, and overall well-being.
