Broken to Beloved Podcast 066: Integrating Theology and Psychology in Parenting with Meaghan Hampton
Did you know that much of the advice Christian parents have been taught over the years doesn’t align with what we know about child development?
In this episode, I speak with therapist and author Meaghan Hampton about parenting from a Christian and psychology-informed approach. We address how much of our stories of spiritual trauma are rooted in how we were raised, and why it’s important to explore our past with compassion and curiosity. You will learn about the harm that fundamentalist parenting can cause, how deconstruction from harmful parenting approaches can be a sign of spiritual health, tips on being a more curious and present parent, the value of co-regulation, and more. This is a great episode for anyone interested in learning a parenting approach consistent with the example of Jesus and what children need for healthy development.
