How do you deal with stress? Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? Are you finding yourself feeling more anxious and irritated? Then this conversation will help!
In this episode we talk with Dr. Stuart Shanker, an expert on self-regulation. The ability to help ourselves manage the stresses of life are critical to your role as parents. Most people aren’t aware of the many sources of stress or how stress is impacting them.

This conversation is a combination of fascinating science and personal stories that outline the importance of the parent-child relationship to support healthy self-regulation.
