    Unsafe Parenting Ep 5.31

    Unsafe Parenting Ep 5.31

    We will look at unsafe parenting. The topic of this series is delving into attachment theory and breaking down this complex theory.
    Strong relationships are likened to a dance between rupture and repair. In my positive parenting class, I discuss this concept using the visual of a pothole. Living in a downtown area, I often encounter potholes that can disrupt entire streets.
    Despite our efforts to avoid them, potholes persist, much like ruptures in relationships. Some ruptures are benign, such as momentarily checking a text message during a conversation.
    However, if left unaddressed, these small ruptures can escalate into larger issues that linger for months or even years. It's crucial to address and repair these ruptures to build and maintain strong relationships.

    Safe Parenting Ep 5.30

    Safe Parenting Ep 5.30

    Inside this series exploring the four qualities of a secure attachment bond, we're discussing the dance between rupture and repair. Ruptures are mistakes, moments of dysregulation, outbursts, frustration, or anger.
    These moments are natural and human. In a secure relationship, we come back together and do the repair work, recovering from those ruptures.
    Therefore, when navigating attachment and building secure attachment, we become curious about the quality of our comfortability with rupture and repair. To remind everyone, attachment theory focuses on the quality of the attachment bond that affects your child's development โ€“ mentally, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Importantly, a caregiver's attachment to the child actually starts long before the child forms an attachment to the caregiver.
    These attachments develop differently for each person. In my work, platform, classes, and this podcast, we shift your perspective as the parent or caregiver.
    We elevate the child's perspective because in a secure relationship, we're looking at whether the child has a safe haven (or "safe face to land") to return to after a rupture.

    Secure Parenting Ep. 5. 28

    In this series of videos, we delve into various parenting styles, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of what secure parenting entails.
    One fundamental aspect highlighted is the establishment of boundaries and limits within the parent-child relationship. These boundaries serve as essential tools in the toolkit of a secure parent, contributing to the development of a healthy and balanced dynamic.
    By setting clear boundaries and limits, parents create a sense of structure and safety for their children, fostering an environment conducive to emotional security and growth. Through exploration and discussion, we aim to empower parents with the knowledge and skills necessary to cultivate a secure and nurturing parenting approach.

100%

I have two kids ages 3 &5. MegAnne teaches a whole mindset shift. It has helped me with my relationship with my kids, my husband and those I come into contact with for work. It is hard work, but it is worth the work. And every time I listen to a podcast itโ€™s like a light has been shined on the areas Iโ€™ve been blind to.
