This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Aliza Pressman (developmental psychologist, co-founder of Mount Sinai Parenting Center, host of the Raising Good Humans podcast & author of The 5 Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans).

From Dr. Aliza’s five core principles that every parent should know, to how to actually teach kids critical thinking, Aliza shares her science-backed advice for raising good humans in today’s world. We also dig into gentle parenting (and her honest take on it), the biggest mistake parents make, and what to do when you feel parental burnout creeping in.

If you’ve ever wondered how to raise thoughtful, resilient kids and stay sane in the process — this one’s for you :-)
