Dr. Emily Upshur and I are diving into Diana Baumrind’s 4 parenting styles – Permissive, Authoritative, Authoritarian and Neglectful – in order to help guide one mom who wonders how she can break the cycle and raise her child differently from the authoritarian way she herself was raised.

Clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Marina Rosenthal and I discuss the intersection between the work I do in family therapy and the work she does with partners. We offer strategies for successful communication and connection skills in your romantic relationships as well as proactive steps you can take with your children to foster secure attachment.
