Kids Who Can Deal

Parenting trends come and go—remember “tiger” moms?—but the challenge of raising resilient kids remains as critical as ever. How can we make sure our children respond to stress in a healthy way? And how do we support our kids without becoming “snowplow” parents? Aliza Pressman, PhD, a developmental psychologist and co-founding Director of The Mount Sinai Parenting Center, makes the case for “authoritative” parenting, which researchers have linked to the most positive outcomes for kids. Since it takes a village to raise a child, we think you’ll find Dr. Pressman’s insights valuable whether you’re a parent or not. Dr. Pressman is also co-founder of the SeedlingsGroup, a team of educators and psychologists that helps clients navigate the challenges of parenting, as well as the host of the parenting podcast Raising Good Humans.
