In this episode of Your Child Is Normal, I’m joined by Dr. Larry Waldman, a behavioral psychologist and author of Who's Raising Whom?, to unpack how behavioral psychology can make parenting easier — and more effective. We talk about how small, consistent changes in how we respond to our children can lead to big shifts in their behavior.

You’ll learn:

  • Why kids sometimes misbehave just to get attention — and how to turn that around
  • How to use praise and logical consequences that actually work
  • Why consistency matters more than perfection

Whether you’re dealing with whining, ignoring, or sibling chaos, this conversation is full of practical tools to help you parent with less stress and more confidence.
