Dr. Aliza Pressman in Conversation with Martha Stewart: The 5 Principles of Parenting

Jan 23, 2024


In her new book, The 5 Principles Of Parenting: Your Essential Guide To Raising Good Humans, Dr. Aliza Pressman — developmental psychologist, co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center, and host of the podcast Raising Good Humans cuts through the parenting information overload that is paralyzing modern parents with a simple, science-backed framework for raising good humans. The science is clear: there’s no one right way to raise good humans, there is no such thing as perfect parenting. Good enough is good enough and, contrary to current cultural messaging, science suggests that parents can cut themselves some slack. She offers five science-backed strategies every parent can apply to common scenarios Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair while reminding caregivers that, despite pressure to perfectly navigate these situations, there is plenty of room to err and repair.
