Dr. Joanna Jacobs give such thoughtful, compassionate, insightful answers to Dr. Aliza’s questions. This interview is a must listen not only for parents, but for teachers as well.
I just started listening at work last week and haven’t stopped. I’ve learned a lot of beautiful advice and it’s really made me feel more secure in parenting. Very helpful!! 🩷
Just listened to the interview with Dr. Amir Levine, and wow... what valuable insights both for my child as well as myself. So interesting, thought-provoking, and intelligent. I find Aliza less dogmatic than other popular parenting experts.
Loved the perspective in this episode on how independent play helps children build resilience, imagination, and problem-solving skills over time. The conversation felt practical, encouraging, and full of small ideas that could make a big difference for families.
