Raising Good Humans

Dr. Aliza Pressman is the parenting expert busy moms wish they had on speed dial, and Raising Good Humans is the next best thing. As a developmental psychologist, co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center, and New York Times bestselling author of The Five Principles of Parenting, Dr. Pressman brings serious credentials to a show that never feels heavy or academic. Each weekly episode goes deep but stays brief, which is exactly what moms with packed schedules need. Dr. Pressman sits down with fellow experts and real parents to unpack the science behind child development and translate it into strategies you can actually use at the dinner table, during the morning rush, or in the middle of a toddler meltdown. Topics range from managing screen time and building emotional resilience to navigating sibling rivalry and understanding your child's unique temperament. What listeners love most about this show is Dr. Pressman's warmth and lack of judgment. She approaches parenting not as a set of rules to follow perfectly but as a relationship to nurture thoughtfully. Her conversations feel like sitting across from a wise friend who happens to have decades of clinical experience. Listeners regularly describe the podcast as their motherhood secret weapon, praising her well-rounded approach that respects both the child's needs and the parent's sanity. For the busy mom who wants to feel more confident in her parenting decisions without adding another thing to her to-do list, Raising Good Humans delivers practical wisdom in digestible episodes. It is the kind of podcast that makes your commute feel like a parenting masterclass you actually enjoy attending.
