The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Pressman and my guest is Dr. Ken Ginsberg.

Dr. Ginsberg is the founding director of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication at

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Ginsberg is a renowned expert in adolescent medicine.

He's a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,

and he is the author of five award-winning parenting books, including Building Resilience in Children

by the American Academy of Pediatrics. I was so thrilled to welcome him to Raising Good Humans
