Description
Hi There! I'm Dr. Becca Ballinger, Child Psychologist, Modern Parenting Expert, and mom to two wonderful young adults.
This podcast is where I share my best advice and strategies for Modern Parents who want to raise young people who are happy, healthy, moral, motivated, and feel confident to pursue their natural talents and passions.
Because I work with young people and their families every day in my Southern California private practice, I know the topics that interest today's parent the most:
✔️ Helping young people overcome lack of motivation for tasks and academics
✔️ Creating a strong parent-child relationship
✔️ Helping young people discover and develop their natural talents and passions
✔️ Teaching young people the "right" life lessons so they are prepared for young adulthood
✔️ Parenting kids who struggle with mental health issues in a way that EMPOWERS them and doesn't LIMIT them
✔️ And lots more topics!
My episodes are guided by the trends, topics, and questions that I get while working with real families in this Modern World. I try to update once every Sunday, but when life happens (i.e. my practice and patients need my attention or my own family requires my time) then I update when I can.
SUBSCRIBE TO MY FEED SO THAT YOU ARE ALERTED EVERY TIME I DO RELEASE A NEW EPISODE!
