Raising Good Humans

I am devouring episodes of your show while navigating a high conflict divorce and two kids under 9 who present as neurodivergent, which I am too (ADHD, diagnosed in adulthood like many women). I find this show so helpful in giving me applicable tools to use and accessible ways I can course correct when the stress gets the best of me, which happens a lot during a time of strain on the whole system. My children are suffering and in distress and parenting was hard enough before this upheaval in their lives. I find this show presents concepts and approaches I can readily integrate or try out. Some of what I’ve learned is already helping us through difficult moments in palpable ways. I love this show’s conscientious and inclusive presentation on a wide range of behavioral concerns that are too much to carry alone. I am a therapist and bring my parenting into my own therapy every week - twice a week now - but I need help all day every day as a single working mom trying her best. Thank you! On behalf of my kids as well. You’re really helping me help them and there is no greater gift.

I have never loved a podcast more.

As a learning specialist in a NYC, I really appreciated Dr Joanna Jacobs’ positive perspective on evaluating and understanding children’s learning profiles. It’s very important for the health of the child and the parent to understand the superpowers as well as the differences. I would love to hear more of her strategies of implementing accommodations in the classroom. Dr Jacobs seemed brilliant and kind- a winning combination in education. Dr Pressman- your questions demonstrated your understanding as a mom and as a psychologist! Kudos to you both. More please.

Dr. Joanna Jacobs give such thoughtful, compassionate, insightful answers to Dr. Aliza’s questions. This interview is a must listen not only for parents, but for teachers as well.
