0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.5	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Pressman and I'm thrilled to start the new year
0:13.0	off with Dr. Harold Kaplowitz. He's one of the nation's leading child in adolescent
0:18.4	psychiatrists. He's the founding president and medical director of the Child Mind Institute in
0:23.4	New York City and in San Mateo, California, and he's been repeatedly named in America's top
0:29.1	doctors, best doctor in America, and in New York magazines, best doctors in New York. I am so
0:36.9	excited for him to help us start the new year off knowing that there's a lot more anxiety in the

1:41.6	Very often, we're very fortunate. We have great parents and we follow their lead, but very often,
1:47.6	we want to do better or different than our parents. Parenting during COVID, I think, is extraordinarily
1:54.2	difficult because of the uncertainty COVID presents us with. We naturally want to protect our kids,
2:02.4	we close them, we house them, we educate them, we feed them, and there's this deadly unknown virus
2:09.6	out there. Even though it isn't necessarily as lethal to children as it is to adults, and the
2:17.2	newest variant of the ground is less lethal, it still gets people sick. I think that what we have to
2:23.9	remember is that we can be a toxic agent if we're not careful to our kids. If we get overwhelmed
