Here’s where we answer what you ask, in video format. We grab clusters of questions, group them into themes and get back to you with our thoughts, recommendations, and any relevant research that can help answer your questions.
If you could ask us one thing that might inspire you or your partner to live more positively or to raise a child who is kinder, happier and more grateful, what would it be? See if you can fit it in to 150 words and ask it in a way that could help others as well. If you have kids, remember to let us know their ages, as each age & stage is so different! Use the form below to submit your question. Browse past questions from our readers to see if anyone else is dealing with similar issues.
We won’t be answering directly back to you, but will do our best to answer through our Q + A videos – especially when there are other folks asking similar things.
Every so often, we get geared up to do a LIVE broadcase where viewers can write in with questions in real-time, which we answer real-time. These are freeform sessions and not to be missed! Join our mailing list to ensure you will be notified for upcoming Live Q&A Sessions.
Hi Dr. F’s, thank you for your helpful videos thus far. I am not sure if other parents are as concerned about this as I am, I know I worry a great deal!!! Regardless, my family is going to be staying with relatives over New Years, how can I keep my 4 yr old in check?! He is extremely energetic and stubborn, but also very kind and sweet.
Hello Dr. Fry and Dr. Ferrari, I heard a recent radio interview of yours, I think on Roundhouse Radio. Basically, it has come time for my kids’ winter report cards again.. Now how do I appropriately praise them, I want them to feel proud and smart. But I do not want to put too much pressure on them, but still, I do not want to be too easy or lenient as a parent? I feel this is a fine line and I’m just not sure how to ensure I am doing this correctly. Also, for their winter report cards, how do I make sure they are not linking or connecting their grades and intelligence to their Christmas presents?
Hello Dr. F’s, I have been lucky enough to tune in to a few of your radio shows, and I understand that kids that appreciate what they have live happier healthier lives. This totally makes sense, but how can I teach respect and gratitude over the holidays without just telling them to be more grateful?
