286- How to Raise a Socially Successful Child with Dr. Stephen Nowicki, PhD

Voices of Your Village

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I have such a special guest for you. I got to hang out with Dr. Stephen Nowicki. He is a professor of psychology at Emory University, and he has served as the director of clinical training, head of the psychological center, and head of the counseling center. Dr. Nowicki remains in active clinical practice as a diplomat in psychology, and let me tell you, he is a gem. His latest book, Raising a Socially Successful Child, teaching kids the non -verbal language they need to communicate, connect, and thrive, is so good, and we had such a rich discussion. Honestly, the only thing I wish I had was more time. I could have talked to him for so long, and he's one of those humans that makes you feel when you're with him like you're the only thing that matters in that moment, that he's so present. It was really cool to see him kind of put this into practice, the social skills here into practice that he's teaching us about. I had some hesitation going into this and brought up some things that just from the title of the book had stood out to me that I was nervous about, and he so beautifully engaged in conversation with me and delicately and mindfully, and I'm really excited to get this episode in your earbuds.
