New Parent Footprint Podcasts with Child Temperament Specialist Wendy Gossett
and
Children's Author Katy McQuaid
|
Dr. Dan Peters recently welcomed two guests to talk about your child's temperament and how to deal with challenging circumstances.
Parenting To Your Child's Temperament + Inner Drive with Wendy Gossett
 Child temperament specialist Wendy Gossett, M.Ed., starts off the show discussing her own parenting journey and how her daughter inspired her life's work.
Wendy Gossett's Child Temperament test helps parents to understand their child or children (and her adult test helps parents understand themselves). Her work with parents shows parents how to uncover their "true type" so they can be self-aware and differentiate their strengths from their kids.
Wendy Gossett is a Parenting and Relationship Specialist based in Denver, who has also worked with Fortune 500 companies as a trainer and facilitator. She is author of the upcoming parenting textbook "Your Child's Inner Drive."
Everybody Loves Grace with Katy McQuaid
 In this episode, Dr. Dan interviews author and leadership consultant Katy McQuaid. Katy spent more than three decades in the CIA, including 12 years living abroad. Her work in communities all over the world and the endearing, unconditional love of her four-legged muse Grace inspired her to write the "Everybody Loves Grace" series of illustrated books for children. Parents, kids of all ages, executives, and organizational leaders hail the series as a beacon of hope and inspiration for anyone navigating change or challenging circumstances.
Dr. Dan and Katy discuss many relatable topics in today's episode and they offer advice listeners can start to implement today.
