In this episode of the 'Strength in Numbers' podcast, host Jason Topp, founder of SMYD Accounting Advisory, is joined by Dr. Chris Garrod, a clinical psychologist from Navigate Psychology. Dr. Garrod shares insights about the pivotal role of parents in a child's development, from emotional regulation to dealing with stress and the influence of device use. He also discusses the importance of quality time over quantity, the concept of being a 'good enough' parent, and how parents can maximize their relationships with their children.

Dr. Garrod emphasizes the importance of understanding children's individual needs, providing age-appropriate guidance, and shaping a safe, unconditional relationship with them. Chris highlights an emotional coaching model (COACH) and suggests parents strive for 'good enough' interactions with kids rather than perfection.
