Case Study: How Confronting Your Childho...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

What if the hardest moments in parenting are actually the best opportunities for connection? Can the struggles we face with our kids actually help us heal our own past? Today, I'm joined by the wonderful Cammie, who shares her heartfelt journey into connected parenting. We delve into the challenges and triumphs of raising young children while navigating the lingering effects of our own childhood experiences. From sleepless nights with a newborn to embracing the big emotions of a toddler, Cammie's story is a testament to the power of empathy and connection.


We explore how facing our children's most challenging moments can become a pathway to our own healing. As Cammie recounts her experiences, we discuss strategies for staying connected with our kids even in the midst of tantrums and upsets, and how these very moments can become the foundation of a deep, enduring bond.


In This Episode:

  • Unexpected benefits of challenging parenting moments
  • Healing past wounds through connected parenting
  • Practical applications of empathy and connection
  • Visualizing our inner child during parenting
  • Group support and its transformative impact
  • It’s never too late to strengthen connections
