Episode Details

Dr. Bill Sears, Lila’s favorite pediatrician and the author of over 40 parenting books, joins us today to share his hard-earned wisdom on discipline. Parents often ask: How do I get my children to listen? What should I do when they’re fighting over a toy? Should I schedule my baby’s sleep and meals? Do I hug my child during a tantrum? How can I encourage my teen to tell the truth? New parents especially are full of questions, and Dr. Sears, a father of eight, has answers grounded in decades of experience. Through trial, error, and years of observation, he’s learned what truly works—and it all begins with connection and understanding. That’s the path to raising virtuous, emotionally healthy adults. Join us for a conversation full of practical insights and timeless parenting wisdom.
