Raising Good Humans

De: Dear Media Aliza Pressman
  • Resumen

  • 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.

  • How to Raise Self-Driven Children with Dr. William Stixrud
    Mar 28 2025

    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by clinical neuropsychologist Dr. William Stixrud, co-author of The Self-Driven Child and the brand new Seven Principles for Raising a Self-Driven Child workbook. We talk about how to nurture internal motivation, what it really means to be autonomy-supportive, and how to step back without checking out. We also explore the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, how to support kids with executive function challenges, and why doing less as a parent can sometimes mean giving more.

We dive into the power of short, impactful wisdom, how to pass life lessons to our kids without sounding like we’re lecturing, and why accepting ourselves while still expecting more of ourselves is the key to growth.

Would not the mother I am today with Dr. Aliza

This is my motherhood secret weapon...when I don't know what to do, I do not call my mother, I frantically scroll through Raising Good Humans until I find what I am going through. I have found that her approach to children, to behavior, to parenting to be the most well rounded. I KNOW I would be lost without her guidance, without her reassurance that sometimes the problem is ME and MY expectations. My child is now 3 years old and I have leaned on her for every stage since he was born. The deepest, warmest thank you to you Dr. Pressman for everything you bring into my motherhood, for exposing me to experts and points of view that I would not have come to on my own but most of all thank you for making motherhood empowering! Forever a fan!

How to deal with BIG feelings

This episode was so great for a parent that is raising a toddler and a school aged child without growing up in a safe environment to express her own BIG feelings. This gave some great examples and understanding to why my children may act out at times. They are not bad children, but are having a difficult time expressing their feelings. Thank you so much for this great information.

Comforting and Informative

I really enjoy listening to Aliza. I find her to be comforting and understanding. She has really good conversations with her guests that make me immediately want to learn even more. I can’t wait for her book coming out in January. I’ve already ordered it. 🤗
