21 min • 17 april 2025

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

 

- It may be taboo to say, but it's very common for parents to feel more connected to one child than another.

 

- A sample script you can use with your kids to articulate the different types of relationship dynamics you have with each of them that will serve to actually strengthen your bond.

 

- Some kids require extra support which may lead to more friction in your relationship - how you can orient these kids to what connects you over what is more challenging about your relationship.

 

- Why focusing on children’s strengths, especially children who are more sensitive or explosive, can be so crucial. 

 

- How you can form a stronger bond with a child who you may not naturally feel as easily connected to.
