Improv at Home
Three rules from the stage that work at your kitchen table. Bring snacks.
Here's a secret nobody tells you in parenting books: comedians have been quietly running the playbook you need at home for decades.
I'm a pediatrician. I've been practicing improv comedy for years. And every single thing I do with families, with food, with feelings, with the messy beautiful chaos of being a human raising other humans, I quietly stole off of the stage.
So here you go. Three rules. Use them on your kid. Use them on your partner. Use them on yourself when you're being a jerk to yourself in the mirror.
Send me the mini-guide.
Drop your name and email and I'll send Improv at Home straight to your inbox.
No spam, no shame. Just one heck of a download and the occasional note from me.
Three rules. Real change at home.
A short, sass-forward mini-guide you can read in fifteen minutes and start using tonight.
Always make your partner look good.
Your kid is your scene partner. So is your adult partner. So is the tired version of yourself who walked in the door at 6:47pm with nothing left to give.
Yes, and. (Plus my ABC twist.)
Acknowledge. Build on it. Connect. You can't shame anyone into change. You can't lecture anyone into trust. You can connect with them.
Take a beat.
A beat, even three seconds, lets the thinking part of your brain catch up to the talking part of your mouth. Calm is contagious. So is the opposite. Choose your strain wisely.
