Parents of the Year
We were never given a manual on how to parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed to know the right thing to do. There is so much contradictory information out there and everyone has their own advice. Parenting is a rewarding but messy, confusing, infuriating, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming journey. While it's easy to get lost, Andrew Stewart, a real dad, and Dr. Caroline Buzanko, a real mom, child psychologist, and parenting expert (who also happens to be married to Andrew) will help you get back on track. In each episode, Andrew and Caroline have open and honest chats about everything parenting. Join them in honesty, laughter, and tears (Caroline is a bit of a cry baby) as they help you navigate this journey of parenting. And, every so often, you may get some gems of expert advice. Our goal is to make your parenting journey less stressful, more forgiving, and more awesome. Please join us every Wednesday for new episodes of Parenting of the Year.

How do we give corrective feedback so our kids will listen?
As a parent, we are given the responsibility to protect our children and ensure we meet their needs. But, an equally important responsibility is to guide our children’s behaviour and help them learn from their behaviours.
To do so, we need to offer corrective feedback.
Unfortunately, some children either anxiously and shamefully nod and walk away, beating themselves up for being so bad, dumb, or useless. Or, others will lash out angrily, telling us how we are the ones being mean.
In today’s episode, Andrew and Caroline talk about how to give corrective feedback so kids will listen. Yes, there is a way to provide feedback in helpful ways that kiddos will not only listen to but will also take up and learn from.
And, there is a shocking revelation that makes Caroline cry.
