2.23 Lina A. Sandaal - How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids in a Digital World

"I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology.  I trained in infant mental health, child and adolescent development, inter-personal neuro-biology, and trauma-focused treatments. Finally in 2012, I founded our parenting program.  In that moment, I made a commitment to assist and support other parents to use all of their experiences in seeing how their children challenge them to be the best person they can be. I often get told, "you must love children,"and I do, because they are usually my greatest teachers. But, I love parents. Each one of us as parents has been given the responsibility to build a better community by guiding and loving our children.  That tenuous task is what wakes me every morning to do the work that I do with all those families and parents who honor me by asking for my assistance and support."

"Stop Parenting Alone represents love, kindness, compassion, truth, and knowledge.  I am all about parenting and supporting families in listening to their inner voices and strengthening their ability to make good choices for their children. I use the information and research in attachment theory, interpersonal neuro-biology, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and real life parenting experiences with the goal in mind that each family find their authenticity and become their truest selves. I am committed to enriching the lives of my clients by assisting in self-discovery, encouraging them to attain the change desired, and creating the space to explore their roles as individuals, partners, and parents."
