Authentic Parenting The Hardship of Uprooting and Establishing a Life in a New Place
What is your definition of HOME? What do you call home? Is it people or is it a place for you? Where do you feel most at home?
In our society and in the world in general people move a lot from place to place and establish lives in new places. Transitions, cultures, cultures shocks, identity shifts, evolution...
Today we are talking about the hardship of uprooting.
My guest for this episode is Bridgett Miller is a mother of two and lives with her family in Vancouver, Canada.
She has a background in education, remedial therapy and psychology and is an authorized facilitator of Dr Gordon Neufeld's developmental relational approach. Bridgett is an educator, speaker and a behavioural consultant who supports caring adults make deeper sense of the children in their lives.
