Today I am launching my new podcast, The Dad and Daughter Connection! Over the past 5 years of hosting the Dads with Daughters podcast I have seen the power of the connection between dads and daughters - so with this new podcast I will be celebrating this and bringing you more great guests to help you to build these connections with your own daughters! This week we had the pleasure of hosting the incredible J. Stuart Ablon, PhD, a renowned psychologist and director of Think Kids at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Ablon brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, sharing invaluable insights for navigating fatherhood, especially in the digital age. ?? Key Takeaways: Effective Listening: Dr. Ablon underscores the importance of truly listening to our children. This involves asking thoughtful questions, making educated guesses, reflecting back what we hear, and providing consistent reassurance. Listening fosters empathy and deeper connections. Social Media Impact: With the pervasive influence of social media on our children's mental health and brain development, it's crucial for parents to start early conversations about online behavior and boundaries. Ablon advises focusing on manageable aspects of social media and being consistent in modeling the behavior we wish to see. Collaborative Problem Solving: Rather than solely trying to motivate and correct, Dr. Ablon recommends a collaborative approach. Co-authoring solutions with our children not only empowers them but also strengthens the parent-child bond. He highlights the motto "kids do well if they can," reminding us that skill-building and empathy are key.
