HOW THE BRAVO EFFECT™ CAN TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CHILD

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY:

Dr. Lisa Bravo is an acclaimed psychotherapist, speaker, author, and teacher who has worked in the field for over 20 years and has a passion for working with teenagers and their parents to ease extreme behavior. Her background is very much about looking at how we as humans develop over time, so whether you’re parenting a teen or a toddler and feel ready to pull your hair out, this is an episode you’ll want to tune into.


We’re discussing the reasons behind why kids of all ages act out, how to interpret their behavior, and how to discipline in a way that doesn’t further push your child away. Lisa also shares when the right time is to deliver discipline and what the first step is to shifting away from a discipline approach (and why you should!)
