But I think it's really important for my young age to start to kind of model how to express

your emotions verbally as well to your children. So, you know, I spend a lot of time if I'm

frustrated or angry or upset, like I say it out loud, I let my girls hear it.

Okay, everyone. Welcome back to the Piedstock Talk podcast. This podcast continues to grow because

of you and your reviews. So thank you for tuning in and being here today. I am so excited to

welcome on the episode today, Dr. Sarah Abudara, who is a school psychologist and licensed clinical

psychologist. And we're talking about how to raise an emotionally aware child. Thank you so much

for joining me today, Sarah. Of course, thank you so much for having me. Well, tell me more about

yourself and why this topic in particular is so important to you or you're just so passionate

about talking about this. So, I work full time right now in an elementary school with children

ranging from kindergarten to third grade. And I also do some private clinical work in the evenings

with children. On top of that, I'm also simultaneously raising my two girls by three-year-old and

my newly one-year-olds. And I have had a very interesting time kind of finding this balance between

the work I do professionally and carrying that over into raising my children and really trying

to utilize the things I know as a professional to help me be a better mom. And it has made me

want to be able to help educate other moms to utilize some of the strategies and stuff that I

just happened to know because of my kind of professional background and how that's helped me.

And then sometimes also hindered me in my parenting as well.

I love it. So, you're looking at that self-insight, which I also love to do also. It's very

important work to take what we know from being a pediatrician, being a psychologist, and

implement that with our kids. So, I love that. I'm so excited that you're here. And when we talk

about raising an emotionally aware child, what does that mean to you? You know, why is that important?
