HOW TO RAISE AN ORGANIZED CHILD WITH DR. DAMON KORB

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: PARENTING + KIDS

This week on the podcast, we welcome Damon Korb, MD, FAAP. As a developmental and behavioral pediatrician and the father of 5, Dr. Korb knows a little something about raising kids who are confident, independent, and self-reliant. He joins us to talk about his book, Raising an Organized Child. It helps parents develop their children's organized thinking skills and executive function. These skills are tied to developmental milestones, so whether a child is an infant or a teenager, it's never too late (or too early!) to foster organization in him or her and harmony in the whole family. It's an especially relevant topic now that we all find ourselves at home with our kids on the regular and want those homes (and our children) to be in order!
