Dr. Dan Shapiro is one of my favorite people to talk to about child development. Dr. Dan is the founder of Parent Child Journey, Author, and a Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician.

 

This interview was recorded a couple of years ago, but it still holds up. We discuss what professionals should parents seek out first, why kids can't do things today that they were able to do yesterday (performance inconsistency), and how challenging behavior IS communication.

 

Dr. Dan shares his wealth of knowledge and experience as we talk about navigating child development challenges, the power of positive assumptions, his “time-in” method, and his parent coaching program, Parent Child Journey.

 

Check out this episode to hear from one of the leaders in providing support for parents in need of some guidance. To find out more about Dan’s parent coaching program and get access to his amazing books, visit his website at www.parentchildjourney.com.
