Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...

3:10 - What you can be on the lookout for to alert you to the fact that you are (or aren't) properly attuning to your child.

5:10 - Strategies to help parents attune to children whose cues and signals are harder to read and understand.

9:36 - Focusing on a granular moment can lead to confusion for parents, but zooming out can help you be more accurate in your understanding of what your child needs.

13:16 - Being a "good enough" parent is not just something we must settle for, it's actually scientifically-proven to be beneficial and necessary for a child's healthy development.

16:58 - Moments of misattunements help our child learn that there will be imperfections in their interpersonal relationships, which is an important life lesson.
