80: Fostering Independence to "Raise Future Adults" with David Krasky
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join me as I sit down with school psychologist (with over 20 years of experience) David Krasky, to talk through some of the common parenting struggles we've all been through or are about to go through! This episode is for parents and caregivers who are interested in some tips and "perspective" (i.e., hard truth) for how we foster independence in our kids. This journey of "Raising Future Adults" is not for the faint of heart, and that's why Dave wrote a book about it (see below for the link).
In this episode, we explore:
- Why being an educator or parent nowadays might feel harder
- How chronic stress impacts the body
- Small, realistic ways to support your nervous system
- Why regulation is collective - not something you're meant to do alone
