What happens when you’re already living your dream…but it’s a dream interrupted?
Dr. Robin Dickinson was a family practitioner who loved her job and her patients, and she was GOOD at what she did. But when the pandemic sent her kids home from school, they needed her more.
What happened next is nothing short of extraordinary.
In today’s interview, you’ll learn:
- Why teaching kids in-depth medical science helps them understand and care for their bodies.
- Why education should focus on a balanced approach that includes hands-on skills and trades.
- How to tell kids that certain foods are “good” or “bad” the RIGHT way - in spite of the social media voices saying we mustn’t ever never ever…
- One doctor’s advice on managing candy consumption!!!
- That imperfect parents can still parent GREAT kids (good news for me, you too?)
- How to encourage scientific thinking
- Plus a little bit about Doc Robin’s TWO awesome #LifeSkillsNow summer camp workshops!
I love Doc Robin’s philosophy on helping kids OWN their health not through cajoling, not even by example, but by education. Can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!
