What do our kids need to feel connected to themselves, and easeful in different environment…and what do we need? We have to reconcile that we are inaccurate interpreters of our child, and the situation we find tricky, due to our own wounds. So how do we cultivate flexibility in our parenting, build connection with caregivers and foster secure attachment? Let’s explore together.
In this episode we discuss:
- Don’t label your kids…look for where they’re the opposite
- Get curious about your children’s behaviours and what they’re revealing about their inner experience
- Separation anxiety as normal and healthy from an attachment point of view
- Facilitating and replication moments that ‘do’ work, to create more ease
- Knowing what you need to feel less anxious and more supported
- How you can help your child bond with caregivers and feel comfortable in new environments
- The ‘good child’ is entangled with the ‘good mother’
- If we don’t care for ourselves, we rely on our world to be okay, in order for us to be okay
- Don’t collapse when your own anxious attachment rises when your child struggles
- Not hinging our worth based on society’s standards of ’successful children’
