Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     1:53 - What "positive parenting" really is from a psychological perspective.   4:20 - Our child's development is not always linear, it's important to consider their regulation level and other situational factors when we set our expectations of them.   5:20 - As parents, we're often more triggered when our elementary-aged and older kids exhibit "bad behaviors."   7:19 - How to have a productive conversation with your child to pregame, collaboratively problem solve, and reflect on hot moments together once they are back in a regulated state.   9:10 - For older kids, you may need more structured behavioral interventions beyond just validating emotions and reflecting their feelings back to them.   14:17 - How to tailor your parenting approach to your unique child, rather than just accepting universal parenting strategies that may not be a good fit for you and your family.     ✨We want to hear from you!
