How do we improve our relationship with our children? Why do our children make us feel so irritated at times? And what do we do if we\u2019ve acted in a way that we shouldn\u2019t have? I\u2019m joined this week by psychotherapist and author, Philippa Perry, to talk about all these issues and more. We discuss why culture gets in the way of our natural instincts and why she believes that allowing your child to \u201ccry it out\u201d can be harmful. We delve into the effect that technology is having on our relationships and discuss screen-time for kids. Philippa explains that although we all get it wrong at times, it is how we repair our mistakes that is key. We also discuss why being authentic with our children is important for a close connection. Finally, Philippa shares her tops tips, which I have started putting into practice already! At the heart of Philippa\u2019s advice is connection and the advice she gives is applicable to all our human relationships \u2013 not just those with our children! I hope this conversation helps you deepen the human connections in your life.\nShow notes available at\xa0https://drchatterjee.com/75\nFollow me on\xa0instagram.com/drchatterjee/\nFollow me on\xa0facebook.com/DrChatterjee/\nFollow me on\xa0twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk\nDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
