The Advice That's Quietly Ruining Your Parenting | Dr. Shefali

Every generation of parents thinks they're getting it right, and millennials are trying so hard to break the cycle that they're at risk of creating a whole new one. On this week's episode of Broadlines, hosts Rae Williams and Natalie Lizarraga sit down with Dr. Shefali, Columbia-trained clinical psychologist, founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, and three-time New York Times bestselling author, to break down why the advice most parents lean on is actually working against them.

From why boys and girls need completely different kinds of emotional support, to why today's parents are trying harder than any generation before them and still feeling like it's not enough, to the real reason teenagers push back the way they do. She also opens up about her own divorce and what it taught her about raising a daughter who won't shrink herself, and why parenting is one of the only jobs we're never actually trained for. Stay for her take on "eldest daughter syndrome" and how to actually give your teenager the space they need to grow.

You'll never approach parenting the same way again.
