EP30 Dr. Siggie Cohen: Establishing Boundaries, Child Development, and other useful tools to prepare for parenthood

Not A Mama Yet

This week on the podcast, I am speaking with Dr. Siggie Cohen, a Child Development Specialist and Parenting Expert, in some circles even known as The Child Whisperer. I had the pleasure too connect with Dr. Siggie and we covered so many topics in this episode, I learned so much. We chat about what we can be practicing before having kids on our own and with our partners, how to practice setting boundaries, helping children understand their emotions and flex their emotional muscles, taking care of yourself as a parent so you can be a better parent, the step parent and step child relationships and how to navigate that. We also talk about how to manage kids being bored and time using technology, adjusting your expectations to fit your child, not trying to adjust your child to fit your expectations, and then we get into a couple of questions from people in my network about limiting the tantrums when kids don’t get what they want and establishing those roles of parent and child where authority is understood while having mutual respect between parent and child.

So many of these tools, I may even say all of them, revolve around communication and these can all be applied to life before and without kids. These are so helpful to any adult. I hope. This episode inspires you so without further ado, my conversation with Dr. Siggie Cohen!

Enjoy!
