Aaron Weiner, PhD

My guest for this episode of Let's Talk is Dr. Doug Bolton!

Dr. Bolton is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Director of School Consultation for Formative Psychological Services. He spent over 20 years as a psychologist and principal at North Shore Academy, a K-12 therapeutic school in Highland Park, IL.  He is now speaking nationally, under contract to publish a mass-market book on parenting in the next 12-18 months, and continues to maintain his clinical practice.

I chat with Dr. Bolton about:

- How parents and teachers are putting unnecessarily heavy amounts of stress on kids, and steps we can take to stop

- How our emphasizing high achievement in school as the key to a kids' future happiness and health is misguided, and what the alternatives are

- Parenting strategies to help kids to cope more effectively with stress in today's post-COVID world

- How to leverage the positive power of community to bolster and address youth mental health issues

And more!
