Who are you becoming as a parent? Research shows that who we are becoming directly affects who our kids will be. On this week’s episode of Unapologetic Julia talks with therapist and author Dr. Joshua Straub to examine that vital question on becoming, plus together the two take a look at the role feelings and emotions play in our kids’ lives and how we parent.

During their conversation Josh and Julia talk about three of the most important parenting strategies, address worry and anger in kids, and discuss why getting too invested in your kids’ activities could be a red flag. This episode is full of practical tips and sound wisdom on not only pouring into your kids’ emotional health, but also on checking your emotions to ensure you’re not getting in your own way as a parent. No matter what season of parenting you’re in, this conversation will undoubtedly help you better enter into your child’s world as you work to address whatever they’re feeling, together.
