Get ready! Today we sit down with Eli Harwood, the brilliant mind (and heart) behind Instagram’s hugely popular Attachment Nerd account. Ever wondered if you are doing this parenting thing right? If you're too soft or permissive, too harsh and controlling, or doing okay? Even I swing between these like a pendulum sometimes! Eli and I break down the different attachment styles and discuss how they show up in both children and adults. She helps clear up common misconceptions about attachment theory and shares how emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in fostering secure attachments. I love that we tackled the challenges of setting boundaries around technology and screen time. And here's some good news: parents don't have to be perfectly attuned to their kids 100% of the time. This episode is packed with comforting truths and practical tips to help you raise emotionally resilient, confident, and kind children. Eli's book, Raising A Securely Attached Child is out this week! (Tues 3 Sept 2024).
