About this episode

Dr. Katie Barge shares insights on parenting for resilient and happy kids, emphasizing a holistic approach and self-care for parents.

When I first met Dr.Katie Barge I thought she was a bit magical. She is this bright, highly intelligent Doctor with a lighthearted approach to seeing children for the gifts they are. If you've ever struggled with connecting with your kids, or wondered if you're doing things right, or even are struggling with some of their behaviour, this conversation will absolutely give you a fresh perspective. Dr. Katie shares why she believes labels don't serve kids, how parents can best parent by taking care of themselves, and consistently stresses the importance of looking at every situation from a holistic lens. We also discussed some of the most common recommendations she gives families, and her solutions for children who tend to be anxious, sensitive or highly active. If you have children and are wondering how you can best support them while also supporting your practice, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical insights.
