45. Should You Give Unsolicited Advice about Dogs and Kids?
Dec 23, 2021 Episode 45
Michelle Stern

People often ask me how they should respond when people send them photos of their "cute" dogs and babies having unsafe interactions together. Or maybe they see a dangerous interaction on social media and aren't sure if they should say something. Many people resent unsolicited advice and become defensive (or block you for trying to help them). 

In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of offering unsolicited advice. I also share some tips for how to give advice that people are actually willing to hear. 

Thank you for listening!
