The Three Things Every Child Needs from ...

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

Struggling with boundary setting? 

Wanting to foster secure attachment with your child? 

Want a relationship with your child as they get older?

Issues in school, with peers, etc., and trying to find out why?

You’re going to want to listen to this episode.


I dive deep into three things children need in relationships with their grown up. Whether it's a parent, teacher, or other caregiver; our children want to feel safe, respected, and connected.


I dive deep into how this shows up in parenting and offer insight and stories as well.


I discuss: 

  • How kids can feel unsafe in their home and how it’s not just physical safety
  • Why one-way respect parenting is outdated and why we have to respect our kids for them to respect us
  • How to build secure attachment and why it’s needed
