Listen to the last episode:
Are you struggling to help your child navigate the uncertainties of today's world? In this episode of Beautifully Complex, I’m chatting with Tovah Klein, Ph.D., professor at Barnard College and director of the Center for Toddler Development, about fostering resilience in children during these challenging times. Dr. Klein emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting your child as they are, particularly when it comes to the unique needs of neurodivergent kids. You'll discover how to nurture resilience through everyday interactions and build strong, supportive relationships that help your child thrive.
You’ll also learn practical strategies to help your children feel safe and secure in an ever-changing world. Dr. Klein discusses the significance of self-reflection for parents, managing personal anxieties, and modeling resilient behaviors. By offering self-compassion and recognizing your child's need for space and support, you can improve your parent-child relationship and guide your little ones through uncertainty with confidence and grace.
We’re shining a light on the importance of self-care, adaptable parenting, and creating an environment where your child feels seen, heard, and understood. Tune in to gain valuable insights into becoming a resilient role model for your child and helping them succeed.
