    10 Ways to Prevent Entitlement and Cultivate Gratitude
    Nov 22 2024

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing 10 science-backed, practical ways to foster gratitude and prevent entitlement in kids. As the season of giving approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can help our children appreciate what they have while staying grounded.

    We’re back for part two with the Yale Child Study Center's Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz. Today we dive deep into the fine line between supporting our kids and over-accommodating their anxiety.

  • Everything You Need to Know to Help Kids Manage their Anxiety with Renowned Yale Psychologist Dr. Eli Lebowitz

    Everything You Need to Know to Help Kids Manage their Anxiety with Renowned Yale Psychologist Dr. Eli Lebowitz
    Nov 8 2024

    In today's episode I sit down with child and adolescent psychologist and director of the Yale Child Study Center's Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz. We dive into everything you need to know about anxiety in children. We explore what anxiety looks like—from everyday worries to more severe cases—and tackle the delicate balance between being a supportive parent and inadvertently accommodating a child’s fears. Using powerful metaphors, Dr. Lebowitz helps us understand how to recognize and respond to anxiety in ways that truly empower our kids.

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. 🤗
