FCV033 Reflective Parenting, Amy Alamar

Which style of parenting best describes you? Reactive or reflective? When we do the knee-jerk reactive thing all the time, we are not as likely to respond appropriately to our children. But when we take the time to develop a reflective approach, we are better able to learn from our parenting mis-steps as well as our parenting successes. Annie talks to Dr. Amy Alamar about her new book, "Parenting for the Genius: Developing Confidence in Your Parenting Through Reflective Practice".
