Summary: Reading each others emotions via Emotional Intelligence. Today's interview is with Laura Markham, PhD. She is a clinical psychologist trained at Columbia University. But she's also a mom, so she translates proven science into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want. Her relationship-based parenting model has helped thousands of families across the U.S. and the English-speaking world find compassionate, common-sense solutions to everything from separation anxiety and sleep problems to sass talk and cell phones.
