Raising Good Humans

Dear Media, Aliza Pressmanart19.com
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! Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.

Ep 68: Unpacking gender, and sexuality with Dr. Nia Heard- Garris and Dr. Nevin Heard

Straight parents have gay kids too, so if you don’t think talking about gender, sexuality and family structure is important in general (which I do)— think about this: What if your child misinterpreted your silence for disapproval? What if they found themselves stuck between who they are and who they think you can love? And if you are of a certain age for example (me!), a lot of the language around gender may be new to you. For some of us, our kids know a lot more than we do. In this episode pedi...
