Description

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   - Translating the question: I don’t want a sibling may actually just mean, “I miss you.”   - Zooming back to assess the environmental factors that may be taxing your child, especially when there are a lot of transitions and changes going on.   - How to change the narrative in your young child’s mind so they don’t associate losing quality time with Mommy and Daddy to having more siblings.   - When to simply validate your child’s feelings and when to know if it’s time to try to make some changes.   - A script of exactly what you can say to help your child feel more contained and regulated in these moments.   - Why helping your child feel seen in the moment can foster their secure attachment, which may end up indirectly solving the problems you're experiencing.     ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   ?
