S2 Ep 34: Talking About Sex with Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett

As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for. 

I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you!
 
In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful! 

Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.

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.

Beyond ‘Just Try Your Best’: How to Foster Realistic Goals and Healthy Self-Worth in Kids

This week bestselling author Gretchen Rubin joins us as she delves into her Four Tendencies personality framework. Discover how understanding your response to expectations can enhance your habits, relationships, and overall well-being. We dive into the four different tendencies, and explore the characteristics of each one. Once you have a sense of your tendency and your child’s, you can more easily strategize how to meet those expectations, and better connect.
