Family in Focus®
Are you feeling stuck around your child’s eating, weight, or health? Are food struggles or mixed messages about “doing it right” creating stress in your home? Family in Focus is a podcast for parents navigating family health, especially when concerns about food, body, and emotional well-being start to strain relationships at home. Hosted by Dr. Wendy Schofer, the pediatrician who helps parents lead meaningful change without harm, this podcast approaches family health in a very different way, by prioritizing connection, trust, and emotional health over control or pressure. Family in Focus centers parent-led shifts that actually last. Conversations explore how change can happen without shame, how emotions shape health behaviors, and why protecting the parent-child relationship is essential to supporting children’s well-being. This is a space for parents who want to support their child’s health without sacrificing connection along the way.

What Do You Choose to Focus Upon?

Welcome to Episode #22!

My son's at it again: giving me material for the podcast! And that's not a bad thing. I appreciate the opportunity to choose to focus on our conversations. You see, the brain is hard-wired to find problems and to focus on them until fixed. So we are ALWAYS looking for danger, problems, and pain. It's about ensuring our survival.

But we have the option - the choice - to focus upon what is going well. And yes, our relationship is going well.

Take a listen, and the challenge at the end. Drop me a line at wendy@wendyschofermd.com and let me know what you noticed about 3 Things That Went Well.
