In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Whitney Casares to discuss developmental milestones and their impact on children's development. We explore how parents can be overwhelmed by the stress of trying to keep up with perceived expectations for their child's development. Dr. Casares emphasizes the importance of understanding each child as a unique individual, with their own strengths and challenges, and avoiding the temptation to compare them to others or follow a one-size-fits-all approach. We also delve into the different types of developmental milestones, including both physical and emotional. We conclude by discussing the benefits of building a positive social network and how to filter out unhelpful advice and resources that push unrealistic expectations for children's development.   You can discover more about Dr. Casares' work by downloading the app Modern Mama's Club, following her on instagram @modernmommydoc, visiting her website modernmommydoc.com and by reading her book The Working Mom Blueprint.   For more information on Cooper please visit us on instagram @your_cooper and on-line at beta.yourcooper.com .

There's a very damaging belief that if we just believe in ourselves more or try to manifest away our circumstances, we can make huge, sweeping changes in our lives. That we can do all of the hard work of learning mindful self-compassion, changing the way we talk to ourselves, or reacting differently in certain situations. And that we should be able to learn this all by ourselves. While that might be true for a slim number of people, Dr. Whitney talks this week about why you need to put yourself at the center of your life in order to really see the need to link arms with others to get the help you need. Learn more about this episode at www.modernmommydoc.com/podcast Looking for more Modern Mommy Doc content?

Today I welcome back Dr. Amy Stoeber to the Modern Mommy Doc podcast to talk about a subject that I've wanted to dive into: how to be a loving authoritative parent. Dr. Amy offers up some helpful insight and information for parents on how to find balance between being firm and being kind and loving with their kids. Dr. Amy is a licensed psychologist who sees children and families in private practice but she also is a trainer, consultant, and educator for teachers and medical practices on the topics of trauma and resilience. She provides workshops, educational conferences, and online events to train professionals on trauma, compassionate practices, and building resilience so that families and children thrive!
