As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for.

I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you!

In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful!

    Mindfulness: The "Sacred Pause"

    Mindfulness: The "Sacred Pause"

    This week, we're going to commit to a pause - It could be before you say goodnight to your kids, before you yell, or before you drop them off at school. Presence is an important and foundational part of a meditation practice, and helps us tap into what matters most to us as parents. We'll also learn about using our breath as anchor and what to do when thinking about your grocery list interrupts your meditation.
