Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
3:41 - Respectful versus intentional parenting - and how not to let either cause parents to be too fearful of "messing up."
4:11 - Making strategies your own. There is a way to stay authentic to your values while also infusing the magic of the holidays.
4:51 - "No one thing you're going to do is going to blow everything up."
5:52 - We don't have to take this too seriously, not everything in parenting needs to be so serious.
11:33 - How as a parent you can go against the grain and hold space for that.
16:15 - If Elf on the Shelf feels like too much work for you, it's okay not to do it simply for that reason, too.
