Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...
3:49 - How a child’s developmental ability to conceptualize time is different than adults’ and how this gets in the way of them sharing our sense of urgency.
6:58 - Kids often have trouble transitioning to things they don't want to do, we'll talk through strategies for helping them tolerate this better.
8:10 - The difference between a bribe and a positive reward, and when to use each.
10:45 - How integrating moments into the routine that promote autonomy and help your child feel a deeper sense of control can make a big difference.
12:25 - How Dr. Sarah adds elements of playfulness and gamification into the routine with her own kids.
18:55 - There is a huge tradeoff to our kid's mental health if they are obedient because they are are afraid of us - but that doesn't mean it wouldn't make parenting easier.
