New episode - and so needed right now! Madeline Levine, Ph.D., is a psychologist and the author of the\\xa0New York Times\\xa0best-selling books\\xa0The Price of Privilege\\xa0and\\xa0Teach Your Children Well. Dr. Levine\\u2019s most recent book Ready Or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World could not be more timely or helpful given the current environment.

She explores how today\\u2019s parenting techniques and our educational system are failing to prepare children for their uncertain future, and what we can do to ensure our kids\' adaptability, resilience, health, and happiness. (I know I need this during this current coronavirus time of uncertainty and panic.)

Dr. Levine is a wealth of knowledge on parenting. We chatted about her efforts to overcome the idea that a woman can\\u2019t beat the boys, how people behave in situations of uncertainty and the concept that to build self-esteem in your child you must let them learn to master things without breathing down their necks. We discussed how pressure, uncertainty, and social media have led to a rise in anxiety and how our 24-hour news cycle can leave us feeling like trauma victims. Dr. Levine explores concrete solutions and coping mechanisms we can use to correct that behavior. I think we could all use these strategies today. \\xa0
