I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Dr. Emily Edlynn, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in pediatric health psychology who works in private practice with children, teens, and adults. Emily is also the author of her first book titled “Autonomy-Supportive Parenting - Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children.” I picked up a copy of Emily’s book and couldn’t put it down. I just knew that I had to invite her to be a guest on the show. During our conversation, we talk all about autonomy-supportive parenting - what it means, why parents should choose to do it, and the research that demonstrates the positive impact it has on our kids. Are you constantly having to remind your teen to take ownership of their responsibilities? Do you feel like you have to reward (or bribe?) your kids to get them to do what you want? Are you ready to throw up your hands because your kid just shows absolutely no motivation? You are not alone and thanks to Emily there’s help on the way.
