ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
if you've ever found yourself researching, planning, making lists... but still feeling stuck, this episode is for you.
whether it's making changes to screen time, starting therapy, sending the email you've been avoiding, or finally taking the first step toward a recommendation, the hardest part of behavior change is almost always getting started.
in this episode, dr. tay shares a theme that unexpectedly emerged during a group therapy session: thinking isn't action. she explores why overthinking often keeps parents stuck, how to create momentum through small, meaningful steps, and why progress doesn't require the perfect plan... it simply requires getting started.
in this episode, you'll hear:
- why getting started is often the hardest part of behavior change
- how overthinking and over-researching can keep parents stuck
- practical ways to decide what first step to take
- the difference between researching and creating real change
- how to build momentum through small, intentional actions
- examples of applying this mindset to screen time, therapy, school, and everyday parenting decisions
