Gentle Parenting Re-envisioned

In this episode of WhereParentsTalk TV, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Dr. Paul Sunseri, a child and family clinical psychologist, researcher, author and father of four, about gentle parenting.
Dr. Sunseri's latest book is called Gentle Parenting Reimagined, which offers a transformative approach to parenting, especially for those struggling with challenging behaviors in their children.
He discusses how traditional gentle parenting techniques often fall short when dealing with oppositional or defiant kids. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the emotional states of children and suggests a shift from engaging during moments of dysregulation to allowing space for them to calm down before re-engaging.
The conversation highlights the critical role of family dynamics in navigating the complexities of modern parenting, especially in the context of technology and external influences.
With practical strategies rooted in evidence-based practices, Dr. Sunseri aims to equip parents with the tools they need to foster better relationships and effective communication with their children.
