Habits and Hustle Episode 389: Dr. Aliza Pressman: 5 Principles of Parenting for Resilient, Self-Regulated, and Competent Children
Did you know that building competence in children is more important than constantly praising them? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Dr. Aliza Pressman, a renowned developmental psychologist, joins me to share valuable insights on raising resilient children.
We discuss allowing children to develop skills and become competent at tasks, even seemingly minor ones like making their bed to build their confidence and self-efficacy. We also dive into understanding different temperaments, building essential life skills, and maintaining a strong, connected relationship.
Dr. Aliza Pressman is a developmental psychologist with nearly two decades of experience working with families and the health care providers who care for them. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling book THE 5 PRINCIPLES OF PARENTING: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans, and the host of the award-winning podcast Raising Good Humans.
Aliza is the co-founding director of The Mount Sinai Parenting Center and is an assistant clinical professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. She holds degrees from Dartmouth College, Teacher’s College, and Columbia University. Aliza is the mother of two teenagers.
