E99: Dr. Alison Escalante- Should-Free Parenting
We live in a culture of criticism and anxiety that drains our joy and tells us all the things we should be doing. It’s a ShouldStorm! But luckily for the world, Dr. Alison Escalante who is a Pediatrician, TEDx Speaker, and Writer, developed The Should-Free Parenting method, a parent-child relationship game-changer. In this amazing episode, she shares the hope that we CAN step out of the anxiety epidemic and enjoy our lives. This episode is a must-episode for all but especially for parents!
In Dr. Escalante own words:
We live in culture of anxiety, and I'm passionate about finding ways to succeed joyfully despite all the stress. That's the theme of my work: effective action under pressure.
As a pediatrician, I believe our culture of criticism is a #ShouldStorm that fuels anxiety and limits us as leaders and as parents. I developed the innovative Sigh, See & Start Method and shared it in my TEDx Talk. Leaders use the 3S's to engage their strength and make the shoulds irrelevant. Parents use my method to raise their kids skillfully AND enjoy doing it.
It's so much fun for me to share engaging insights from science, psychology, and culture with people. Communicating clearly to generate Aha! moments for people is one of my greatest joys.
-I write widely about how we can succeed without crushing ourselves, most often at Forbes, Psychology Today and Medium.
-I speak at conferences to physicians and other professionals about thriving by harnessing our internal strengths (it's neuroscience and it works).
-I speak to parents about raising happy kids in our anxiety epidemic.
-I practice pediatrics in Naperville, IL.
