With five sons and a daughter, calm doesn't just show up on its own, so Rivka Stern shows us how to invite it into our lives based on her experience as a mother and as an occupational therapist & parent coach. Lori and Rivka discuss how to cultivate independence, letting kids work things out on their own, addressing mental health concerns, and when to call in the professionals. Plus, hoarding candy, craving attention, messy baking, forgetting your shoes at the bowling alley, and why watching kids on the swings can be a transformative experience.
