Ep 96: Cultivating Patience: Strategies for Parents and the Power of Empathy with Leslie Bolser and Dr. Beth Trammell

Things You Learn in Therapy

Ever wondered why the line at the grocery store feels like a test of your soul's patience? You're not alone. This crossover episode with CEV includes my friend, Leslie Bolser, Creative Director for Core Essential Values, where we reveal personal battles with patience, especially in the throes of parenting. The struggle is real, but so are the strategies we share to help cultivate this virtue in ourselves and in the young minds we're guiding. From understanding the developmental limits of children's patience to the art of maintaining it with temperamental teens, this episode is your guide to nurturing patient relationships that can truly flourish.
Navigating tricky supermarket checkouts is small fry compared to the daily patience needed for effective communication with teenagers—it's a delicate dance we discuss. We commit to spreading empathy and kindness even in the smallest of interactions, because, let's face it, the world could use a little more patience. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and skill-building for the sake of our children's future, our sanity, and the unsuspecting cashier who just ran out of receipt paper.
