Joyful Courage - A Conscious Parenting Podcast

There are a few things that are tough to talk about with our kids. One of the toughest, I think, is talking about the violent things that happen in the world... My guest today on the podcast is Dr. Monica Holliday Sherman. Monica is a psychotherapist in private practice in Chicago, and she completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at The Adler School of Professional Psychology, with a concentration in childhood and adolescence. She is a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, and she regularly facilitates parenting classes in the Chicago community. You can find her on Psychology Today here. She is also my friend, and someone I trust to speak to this topic from a very thoughtful, experienced place... As tough as this conversation is, it is important for parents to be talking to their kids about the state of the world. AND, as a community of parents, it is equally as important to get support from each other about how to best support our kids. My hope is that this show does just that. Resources menti
