Does anybody have an inner voice? What to do when your inner voice becomes a source of anxiety, rumination, and negativity? What strategies can we use to calm the negative inner chatter when we are in distress?  How does a child's inner voice develop, and how can parents help them to develop a positive inner voice? Join us as we chat about inner voice, chatter, and self-regulation with Dr. Ethan Kross, a psychologist, social-affective neuroscience researcher, and the author of Chatter, a book about the hidden power of our inner voice and how to harness it. Visit our website to get more parenting advice that is backed by science. https://www.curiousneuron.comTo read the show notes, purchase Ethan's book Chatter, or read his scientific articles, click the link below:https://www.curiousneuron.com/podcast/2021/6/21/ep-31-how-parents-can-manage-their-negative-inner-voice-with-ethan-krossThank you to the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro, for sponsoring the Curious Neuron Podcast.  Learn more about their mission, HERE.You can follow Curious Neuron on Instagram at either @curoius_neuron or @curiousneuronpodcast.Want to learn more about the Better me, Better parent e-book?
