Aliza Pressman

As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that's what I'm here for.

I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, NYT bestselling author of The Five Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans, Associate Clinical Professor, and Co-Founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center. And I'm a mom... trying to raise good humans myself, so I'm in this with you!

In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful!

Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.

Raising Good Humans

Sibling fights making you crazy? 

If you've ever wondered when to intervene in sibling fights versus when to let your kids work it out themselves, this episode gives you a practical framework you can use today.

Sibling fights are one of the most common pain points of parenting, and we’ve all been there. In this episode, developmental psychologist and Raising Good Humans host Dr. Aliza Pressman explains how to tell the difference between normal sibling conflict and situations that require real intervention, why fairness doesn't mean giving every kid the exact same thing, and how the language parents use in the heat of the moment can either fuel resentment or teach kids to fight well.

What you’ll learn:

 The "witness, not judge" framework for staying neutral during sibling conflict

 How to use "sportscaster mode" to de-escalate fights without picking sides

 Why fair doesn't mean equal—and how to explain equity to your kids

 The hidden dangers of labeling kids ("the helper," "the difficult one") within the family

 How to handle twins, age gaps, and the "glass child" experience

 Simple family rituals that build long-term sibling closeness and repair skills

Sibling Fights: When to Step In (and When to Stay Out)

Why does a teenage breakup feel like the end of the world for girls, but barely register for boys? 

Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Dr. Shefali — clinical psychologist, founder of the conscious parenting movement, and New York Times bestselling author of Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons — for a conversation that finally explains the biology behind teen dating, heartbreak, and hookup culture. From the surge of estrogen and oxytocin that wires girls to bond instantly, to the testosterone spike that turns boys into what Dr. Shefali calls "novelty seekers," this episode breaks down what's actually happening inside your child's brain during their first crush, their first relationship, and their first heartbreak.

What you’ll learn:

 The hormonal science behind why girls bond faster and boys move on faster — and how to talk to each about it

 Why Dr. Shefali says daughters must be taught they are "the chooser, not the chosen"

 How to talk to sons about testosterone, impulse control, and sexual responsibility before puberty hits

 Why hookup culture and "situationships" are more about FOMO than a lack of values

 What porn is really doing to how teens experience rejection and real-life romance

 The single biggest antidote to disconnection Dr. Shefali says every family is missing

Dr. Shefali: The Hormones Behind First Love, Heartbreak, and Hookup Culture

Is your child's behavior really about who they are — or is it about where you've put them? 

In this episode, Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Dr. Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit, MacArthur "Genius" Grant winner, and University of Pennsylvania psychologist, to unpack her powerful new book, Situated. Together they explore why the "fundamental attribution error" causes so many parents to blame a child's character when the real culprit is the situation around them — and why editing that situation, from where you keep your phone to which zip code you live in, is one of the most effective child development strategies parents actually have.

What you’ll learn:

 Why the "fundamental attribution error" makes parents misjudge their kids' behavior

 The "3-foot rule": how personal space and phone placement quietly drive academic performance

 Practical ways to build self-control in kids without relying on willpower alone

 How intentionally choosing a neighborhood or school shapes peer influence and character

 The powerful role of mentors, coaches, and teachers as "surrogate parents"

 Modeling behavior: what your kids are really learning by watching you

Angela Duckworth on the Hidden Forces Shaping Your Kid's Behavior

Blaming your kid's attention span on Covid?

In this episode, Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Georgetown Professor and developmental psychologist, Dr. Anna Johnson, to unpack a landmark special section of 17 longitudinal studies published in Child Development, the field's top journal. Together they walk through what parents have been told about "Covid kids" versus what the actual research shows about learning loss, executive functioning, and child mental health five years later.

What you’ll learn: 

● Why longitudinal research tells a different story than the "learning loss" headlines 

● Which kids were actually at higher risk — and which weren't 

● Why reading recovered faster than math after school closures 

● How parent-child closeness buffered teens against long-term depression and anxiety 

● The infant study that found zero effect of Covid on biological aging 

● Why grade inflation and parent-teacher distrust may explain more than the pandemic does

Here's the Talk to Have Before Your Teen's First Party

Is your child's relationship with food already shaped by guilt, fear, or "good food/bad food" rules — even before they can talk?

Registered dietitian Jennifer Anderson, founder of Kids Eat in Color, joins Dr. Aliza Pressman to unpack "embodied independence" — the idea that raising confident eaters means combining a healthy relationship with food and the practical skills to take care of one's body. This is a must-listen for any parent trying to raise a healthy eater without passing down diet culture baggage.

What you’ll learn:

 Why labeling foods "good" or "bad" creates food rules, guilt, and inflexible thinking later in life

 Practical scripts for introducing dessert without using food as a reward or a bargaining chip

 Red flags for extreme picky eating and ARFID — and when to bring concerns to your pediatrician

 The "sit, connect, and expose" approach that gets even the pickiest toddlers trying new foods

 How to set boundaries with grandparents and relatives around sweets and body comments

Picky Eating & Food Guilt with Jennifer Anderson

Do you know how to disagree with your kid without a fight breaking out?

Most of us have been told that the fix for a bad disagreement is more empathy — really try to see it from their side. But Julia Minson, negotiation researcher at Harvard's Kennedy School, joins Dr. Aliza Pressman to share what her experimental research actually shows: telling someone to "try harder to empathize" barely changes the outcome of a conflict. Instead, Julia and Aliza dig into why disagreement has gotten so much more fraught in families, what really makes someone feel heard, and a concrete, teachable framework for disagreeing with your kids, your partner, or anyone else without torching the relationship.

What you’ll learn:

 Why "try to see it from their perspective" doesn't actually work, according to the research

 "Listening with your words": the specific language that proves you're actually paying attention

 The "curiosity sandwich" — a script for disagreeing without abandoning your own point of view

 Argue, don't fight: how to model constructive disagreement in front of your kids

 The HEAR framework: hedge, emphasize agreement, acknowledge, and reframe to the positive

How to Disagree With Your Kids Without Fighting

Do you use your imagination enough?

Most parents think of imagination as something for playtime — a "nice to have" that fades once kids get older and life gets "serious." But Dr. Cassandra Vieten, director of science programs at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego, joins Dr. Aliza Pressman to make the case that imagination is a trainable skill with real developmental and psychological weight. They unpack the connection between imagination and anxiety, why kids naturally live closer to the "field of possibility" than adults do, and how something as simple as a car-ride question can open up conversations that "how was your day?" never will.

What You’ll Learn:

 The real, physiological link between imagination and anxiety

 How to use your child's favorite fandom as a doorway into connection

 Strategies to turn discipline moments into imagination-building thought experiments

 How to use screens and social media for connection instead of "slot machine" scrolling

Your Brain Isn't Declining — It's Waiting for You to Do These Five Things

In today’s episode, we sit down with Professor Rob Turrisi, a leading expert in behavioral decision-making and substance misuse prevention, to discuss teen drinking. With decades of research, Turrisi shares insights on the developmental factors influencing alcohol use among adolescents and emerging adults, exploring the transition from high school to college, peer environments, and alarming data on blackout drinking and alcohol use disorder. We discuss the impact of positive communication, effective monitoring, and setting clear household rules. We also dive into common misconceptions, such as the belief that allowing teens to drink at home prevents binge drinking in college.
