Ready to deepen your connection with your child in the new year? In this episode, Reena and Dr. Lisa revisit Dr. Aliza Pressman’s essential ‘Five Principles of Parenting’—Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair. These powerful concepts help parents build a foundation of trust and emotional security while fostering independence. Dr. Pressman dives into why nurturing relationships, creating thoughtful boundaries, and making time for repair after conflicts can transform the way we guide our kids’ social and emotional growth.
