Securely Attached Parenting styles across cultures: The universal and unique factors that influence secure attachment bonds with Dr. Miguelina German
The way we parent isn't just shaped by psychology—it's deeply influenced by culture, shaping how our children experience love, discipline, and security in ways we may not even realize. Joining me to unpack this is clinical psychologist Dr. Miguelina German.
In this episode we explore:
- Two overarching parenting frameworks, Attachment Theory and Baumrind Parenting Practices, and how understanding the nuances of each can help us in our parenting approach.
- The importance of "warmth" in parenting and what the research reveals of the positive correlation between our child's perception of high warmth with positive outcomes.
- How generational trauma, values, and cultural norms can inform differences in parenting strategies and styles.
- The impact of being separated from a caregiver as a young child and the attachment rupture that can occur during critical developmental times.
- How to repair a relationship that has undergone an attachment rupture.
Parenting is not one-size-fits-all. By understanding the interplay between attachment, cultural influences, and parenting styles, we can create stronger, more secure connections with our children.
