Stop Asking "Why Did You Do That". Say This Instead!

Calming Anxious Kids with Dr. Seema Desai

author of newly-released children's book, "Connected: Discovering Your Inner Guides." In this episode, she shares how she used her intuitive nature to support kids with anxiety when they came to her dental practice.

It is because of her experiences with postpartum depression with her first child that led her to a deep dive into what it is to be a parent and what makes us happy. She believes that helping a parent and child connect to their inner wisdom is a powerful way to create the next generation of peace-leaders and solution-seekers. She is firmly committed to being a part of a kindness revolution, where we raise children in a way that heals and inspires resilience and greatness.

May 30, 2023 How Do I Get My Toddler to Stop Swearing?
Has your toddler dropped some bombs recently?

The language we use is powerful and it shapes our little one's early dictionary long before they are able to talk. What they hear is what they'll say! When you understand how their brilliant, growing brains are processing what you're saying, even if you're not talking directly to them, you'll begin to think before you speak and craft your sentences intentionally.
