Episode notes
Relationship Is The Core Driver
- Relationship (connection, attachment) is the single most important driver of child and adult wellbeing.
- Strong relationships move toxic stress to tolerable stress and protect long-term health.
Validate Feelings With "I Know"
- When a child (or adult) shares distress, say "I know" before offering solutions to validate feelings.
- This simple validation builds safety and strengthens the relationship.
Reflection Lets You Drop Old Baggage
- Reflection helps parents notice when they bring past baggage into present moments with children.
- Naming and setting aside that baggage allows more present, calmer parenting choices.
