Looking beyond behaviour – part two

This is the final episode in a two-part series where host Alicia Randford is joined by Dr Billy Garvey. A developmental pediatrician with over 20 years of experience and cohost of the popular parenting podcast Pop Culture Parenting, Dr Garvey brings a compassionate, science-based perspective to parenting issues, helping parents to understand what may be typical in a child’s behaviour and what may signal the need for extra supports.  

In part two, Billy talks about prioritising building connection with our children over ‘perfect parenting’, the effectiveness of setting boundaries collaboratively and consistently with our children, and recognising when your family may need to seek extra support.   

In this episode you will hear: 

• How children sometimes seek connection by using difficult behaviours and how you can respond in supportive ways [00:37:00].
•  How you can manage your own emotions and support your child when their behaviour is difficult in public [00:17:03].
• About the signs that your family might benefit from professional support [00:57:23].
