![248: Examining your own issues so you can parent your best - podcast episode cover](https://static.libsyn.com/p/assets/7/f/0/b/7f0b19d79add6999/thenewfamily_podcastv2_1_2048.jpg)
Episode description
For this episode we speak to child psychologist Dr. Vanessa LaPointe. Vanessa is the author of two books, including her latest Parenting Right From the Start: Laying a Healthy Foundation in the Baby and Toddler Years.
But this episode is not about the baby and toddler years. It’s about the investigation into ourselves that Dr. LaPointe argues is so necessary in order to parent the way we want to. She explains how we can work through issues from the past that inevitably have an effect on how we respond to the challenges and demands of raising our own kids.
