In this conversation, I am joined with child psychologist and trauma therapist Dr. Alison McClymont. The discussion delves into generational trauma, exploring how the experiences of previous generations shape current parenting practices and emotional responses. Alison highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing small T traumas in children's lives, providing practical strategies for parents to navigate these challenges with compassion and awareness. Alison is the author of her upcoming book 'How to Help Your Child with Anything,' which focuses on everyday parenting challenges and offers a trauma-informed approach to addressing them.
