"Ask A Therapist": Screen Time, Lies, and Motivation. Expert Q&A with Dr. Skinner

Today we are using an 'Ask a Therapist' format, where we tackle the most asked questions sent in from YOU parents. Join our real Q& A-- over the primary dilemmas you too are likely facing right now as a parent. Today we respond on handling dishonesty, managing screen time, repairing strained parent-child relationships, fostering motivation in children, and more. " We want to have this conversation, 'I would rather you have a hard conversation with me than lie to me any day. And if you say, mom or dad, I don't agree, then let's talk about this. Let's do it together--' Because the outcome is so much better because they are a part of it rather than just being obedient.'" -Dr. Skinner We hope you find relief, hope, validation and some of the answers you are seeking. You and us, We got this.
