Episode notes

An attachment lesson would be formed after a pattern. So example, your kid is really, really upset at a gymnastics birthday party. They don't want to join the party and you're all over it. What does my kid learn there from an attachment perspective? Because again, the part of me that can feel hesitant that isn't sure that's taking in data before I jump in. That part is safe. That part gets closeness. And then those attachment lessons might even play out when someone says to them, Hey, You're making such a big deal out of this. Their body's going to say, Oh, I know what to do! Dr. Becky: Kids are drawing

Dr. Becky Kennedy is back to help us understand Attachment Styles, how our past comes alive in our present – and how to free ourselves and raise freer kids.

1. Why attachment styles are at the heart of our most intense conflicts (in ourselves and with others).

2. How to rewire our original mental coding (75% of which is complete by age 3), so we can have more peace.

3. How our physical and emotional attractions in adulthood are dictated by childhood attachments.

4. Why it’s never too late to initiate relationship repair, and the warning signs that we’re starved for connection.

5. How we can help our kids trust their instincts, use parenting as a path to grow in the ways we’ve always wanted to grow, and build empathy for our own imperfect parents.
