Description

How parents use behavioral interventions on children is often rooted in the fact that many don't want to face their own shit. 

This week on the show I have Candace St. John, a Public Health Practitioner & Pediatric Sleep Specialist who, after the birth of her own child in June 2020, she was floored by the amount of unsubstantiated evidence that most mainstream parenting techniques and ideologies are built upon. She has made it her mission to not only break down the myths and misinformation that run rampant in the social media world as shared by so many “experts”, but to also help us understand that it really is okay to use both science AND your intuition when it comes to parenting decisions.

Today I talked with Candace about:

• How we as parents can better support our kids through working to heal our own trauma
• What ACEs (alders childhood experiences) are and how they shape EVERYTHING in our lives
• Why evidence based information is lacking in both the health care sector and in many popular parenting resources and how this is adding unnecessary pressure and expectation on both the caregiver and child.
