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.
Parents of the Year
98. How do we help kids correct their mistakes?
Step into an example of exceptional parenting on today's episode of Parents of the Year! Or rather, learn from Andrew's epic failure this week. He recently faced a common parenting challenge – giving simple corrective feedback to one of his daughters in a way that she would listen (and, ideally, learn from). Spoiler alert: It didn't go as smoothly as he hoped.
As Andrew grappled with his daughter's stormy exit, he questioned if there's a better way to navigate these moments or if kids simply need to tough it out.
Effective corrective feedback is really a secret superpower in a parent's toolkit! It's the key to your child's learning and skill development. With the right feedback, children gain valuable insights into their actions, fueling continuous growth, resilience, and self-regulation. Making them tough it out is not the way to go.
Tune in to this episode as we explore the art of providing corrective feedback to children effectively. Discover how to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection rather than frustration and resistance.
