841: Dr. Catherine McCarthy, Dr. Heather Tedesco, and Jennifer Weaver: Raising a Kid Who Can
from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean
Dr. Catherine McCarthy, Dr. Heather Tedesco, and Jennifer Weaver are all mental health professionals who jointly co-authored RAISING A KID WHO CAN, a simple but comprehensive how-to parenting manual designed for the post-pandemic world. They were able to recognize that most parents' depleted attention and energy is in constant conflict with their desire to be guided by the most current, evidence-based information and best how-to strategies when it comes to their kids and mental health. What I love about this book is that it’s organized for easy skimming and designed to be useful at any stage in a child’s life. The book devotes one short, impactful chapter per principle, including Resilience, Attention and Self-Control, Psychological Flexibility, Self-Motivation, Compassion, and Gratitude. The result is a new approach to a parenting guide that takes a holistic approach to nurturing a child’s development and helps parents get right to the information they need right when they need it most. Listen in to hear Catherine, Heather, and Jennifer share: Their invitation to parents to embrace and stay in this "The Age of Adaptability" without feeling chronically overwhelmed The beauty of "the Age of Adaptability" for our kids How to use a Validation Sandwich to help you or your child in a moment of struggle or unpredictability How they formatted their book to be a guide you could immediately put to use without having to do heavy reading The significance of knowing the WHAT, the WHY, and the HOW in how you parent in specific situations The 10 Essentials of Raising a Kid Who Can How to manage some of the paradoxes of parenting that often make us feel like we are getting it wrong The problem with trying to “fix” your child’s feelings Links mentioned: Learn more: Raisingakidwhocan.com Get the Book: Raising a Kid Who Can Connect with Heather: www.drtedesco.com Connect with Jennifer: https://weaverandassociates.net Book: How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk Raising A Kid Who Can on IG We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
