Listen "Parenting Beyond the Textbook with Jay Woodward"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Priscilla sits down with Dr. Jay Woodward, professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at Texas A&M University, to explore what really makes families strong. Together, they discuss family systems theory, the stages families move through, and the real-life challenges that shape family life.From communication and commitment to crisis management and traditions, Dr. Woodward shares how theory and practice intersect—and why no single approach works for every child. He reminds us that while research can guide us, parenting is often “messy and beautiful,” requiring intuition, empathy, and flexibility.Whether you are raising toddlers, teens, or navigating the “empty nest,” this conversation will encourage you to trust your instincts, strengthen family bonds, and see the beauty in life’s challenges.
