De: Dear Media Aliza Pressman
  • Resumen

  • As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for. I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you! In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful! Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.

  • What to Do When Your Kid Says “I Hate Myself” and How to Build Self-Compassion With Renowned Harvard Psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre
    Apr 25 2025

    In today’s episode I sit down with Dr. Blaise Aguirre, renowned Harvard psychiatrist to explore the roots of self-hatred and how it differs from everyday self-criticism. We unpack how early experiences—often subtle and unintentional—can shape a child’s sense of worth, and what it takes to unlearn those damaging lessons. We talk about how to respond when your child says “I hate myself,” why curiosity matters more than reassurance, and how to help sensitive kids build emotional resilience. Plus: the problem with well-meaning praise, how temperament plays a role, and the metaphor of the “emotional peanut” that every parent should know.

  • How to Prevent Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating w/ Dr. Tom Hildebrandt
    Apr 18 2025

    In today’s episode I sit down with with Dr. Tom Hildebrandt, clinical psychologist and director at Mount Sinai’s Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, to unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders—and why that distinction matters. We dive into how to foster healthy food environments at home, when (and how) to talk to your kids about food and body image, and why regular family meals might be your best defense against future struggles. Plus: the impact of food delivery culture, what to do when kids self-soothe with snacks, and how to respond if you suspect something deeper is going on.

  • How to Help Kids (And Ourselves) Tame the Inner Voice and Clear the Chatter w/ Dr. Ethan Kross
    Apr 11 2025

    I’m so excited to welcome back Dr. Ethan Kross, psychologist, neuroscientist, and author of Chatter, for a fascinating conversation about the inner voice we all live with—and how it can help or hurt us. We talk about how to support our kids (and ourselves) when that voice gets loud, critical, or overwhelming. Ethan shares incredibly helpful, science-backed tools for calming the chatter, building resilience, and knowing when support turns into co-rumination.

Would not the mother I am today with Dr. Aliza

This is my motherhood secret weapon...when I don't know what to do, I do not call my mother, I frantically scroll through Raising Good Humans until I find what I am going through. I have found that her approach to children, to behavior, to parenting to be the most well rounded. I KNOW I would be lost without her guidance, without her reassurance that sometimes the problem is ME and MY expectations. My child is now 3 years old and I have leaned on her for every stage since he was born. The deepest, warmest thank you to you Dr. Pressman for everything you bring into my motherhood, for exposing me to experts and points of view that I would not have come to on my own but most of all thank you for making motherhood empowering! Forever a fan!

How to deal with BIG feelings

This episode was so great for a parent that is raising a toddler and a school aged child without growing up in a safe environment to express her own BIG feelings. This gave some great examples and understanding to why my children may act out at times. They are not bad children, but are having a difficult time expressing their feelings. Thank you so much for this great information.

Comforting and Informative

I really enjoy listening to Aliza. I find her to be comforting and understanding. She has really good conversations with her guests that make me immediately want to learn even more. I can’t wait for her book coming out in January. I’ve already ordered it. 🤗
