    Show notes

    Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

    - Bullying is often an expression of pain, so leading with compassion for your child is often your best entry point.

    - At some point, this moves beyond exploring your child's feelings and these behaviors simply need to stop - when and how to transition to this point.

    Pediatrician Dr. Caity Gilman is here to shed light on the facts surrounding vaccines and address common concerns and questions she hears most often from parents in her practice, like:

    - Does the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine cause autism? (Spoiler: No, vaccines do not cause autism.)

    - Do I need to vaccinate my child based on my pediatrician's suggested schedule?

    - What are the risks of stopping administering vaccines to children?
