Encouraging Healthy Child Development with Dr. Joel Warsh

Why is understanding a child’s developmental stage crucial for effective parenting? Today, I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Joel Warsh, an integrative pediatrician passionate about children's health and well-being. Dr. Warsh shares his frustration with children's over-medication and his journey towards integrative medicine, blending the best of Western and alternative practices. We delve into his new book, "Parenting at Your Child’s Pace," which focuses on de-stressing parents and promoting health from the earliest stages of childhood.Together, we’ll explore the societal pressures to create 'superhuman' children and the resulting parental stress. Dr. Warsh emphasizes the importance of balance, connection, and trusting our instincts as parents. He shares insights on managing common parenting worries, from growth charts to developmental milestones, reminding us that each child is unique and that most concerns are normal.In this EpisodeAn integrative pediatrician's approach to balanced parentingStress and its impact on parentingThe importance of developmental milestone understandingNavigating societal pressures on perfect parentingBalancing discipline: boundaries vs. permissivenessRethinking medication as a last resort🔗 Follow Dr. Joel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoelgator/🔗 Get his book Parenting at Your Child's Pace: https://parentingatyourchildspace.com/🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?
