Building Strong, Loving Relationships with Our Kids – With Dr. Andrea Bonior

Dr. Andrea Bonior

Many of the questions that I get asked as a pediatrician don’t necessarily have to do with coughs and colds and medicine. Most of the questions are actually about parenting.

We all want to do the best by our kids, and we all set out to build a fun, trusting, loving relationship with them that will last a lifetime.

Dr. Andrea BoniorAnd there is no one better to talk about relationships than Dr. Andrea Bonior. Dr. Bonior is a clinical psychologist, professor, and author. She regularly appears on radio and television and writes a column for the Washington Post Express. She even wrote The Friendship Fix: The Complete Guide to Choosing, Losing, and Keeping Up with Your Friends, a book on how to best care for your friendships.

Dr. Bonior is an expert at what makes good relationships tick. And as a parent of 3 kids herself, she has a wealth of great insights that can help you build a strong, loving relationship with your kids.
