Dr. Lisa and Reena are joined by psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross, author of the book "Shift: Managing Your Emotions - So They Don't Manage You," to discuss practical, science-backed strategies to help parents and children alike navigate the ups and downs of emotional life.

Kross shares fascinating insights from his research on the power of "emotional shifters" - concrete tools we can use to turn the volume up or down on our feelings. Parents will learn how to leverage sensory experiences, mental time travel, and even music to help their kids (and themselves) regain control when emotions run high. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom that just might transform how your family manages life's inevitable emotional curveballs.
