This interview with William Stixrud Ph.D. and Ned Johnson may be one of the most helpful episodes we've ever run, and if you've ever struggled to help your child manage any kind of problem at all, we think you'll agree. They're the best-selling co-authors ofThe Self-Driven Child, and we're talking about advice from their brand new book, What Do You Say? Talking with Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home. You'll get tons of practical, actionable tips to help you improve parent-child communication, increase empathy, decrease anxiety, and help raise kids to be their own best problem solvers. Plus, they're just delightful! Speaking of which, wow, do we have some fun Cool Picks of the Week for you at the end of the show.
