Why Your Kid Is Wired the Way They Are and How to Parent Their Temperament with Dr. Danielle Dick | Ep. 149

Behavioral geneticist Dr. Danielle Dick (author of The Child Code) breaks down your child's temperament and how to actually parent the kid you've got.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why your child's behavior is NOT a reflection of your parenting
• The roughly 50/50 split between genes and environment, and what it means for you
• The "three E's" of temperament: extroversion, emotionality, and effortful control
• The real difference between a shy kid and an introverted kid
• "Goodness of fit," and how to set your child up in environments where they thrive
• How to gently stretch an anxious or introverted kid without pushing too hard
• What to do when your kids have totally different temperaments
• Why you and your child butting heads might come down to your OWN wiring
