Sigh See Start: Becoming the Parent You Want to Be with Alison Escalante, MD
In this episode, we chat with Dr. Alison Escalante, pediatrician and author, about her powerful concept of the "shouldstorm"—the relentless culture of criticism and pressure that overwhelms today's parents. Dr. Escalante walks us through her 3-step method—"Sigh, See, Start"—which helps parents overcome stress and embrace a calmer, more joyful approach to parenting. We discuss how this method fosters self-compassion and trust, the dangers of striving for perfection, and the societal forces driving modern parenting anxiety. Dr. Escalante also shares insights on co-regulation and how parents can discern evidence-based advice from unsupported claims in a world full of "parenting experts." Don’t miss this enlightening and empowering conversation!
