• Episode 231: How Aware Parenting creates transformation with Linde Lambrechts

  Join me as I welcome Linde Lambrechts back on the podcast! Linde is an Aware Parenting instructor, Psychotherapist and Psychologist. Linde was a guest on episode 210, where she shared an experience that I found deeply moving. In this episode, Linde shares her profound journey with Aware Parenting, discussing the transition from mainstream parenting to understanding the true causes of behaviours in children and adults. We explore the nuance, depth, and transformative experience of practicing Aware Parenting, highlighting the importance of addressing our unmet needs as parents, and developing deep self-compassion. Both of us reflect on our personal experiences as psychotherapists and psychologists, and how what we see working with adults in their own healing journeys inspires our work as Aware Parenting instructors. Linde shares her passion and vision with Aware Parenting, and together we talk about the supportive, life-changing community that Aware Parenting welcomes parents into. Linde finishes by sharing about her work, including the special birthday offer she has on at the time of recording.

• Episode 229: Why crying is so important

  In this episode, I talk about why I believe crying is so important in children (from an Aware Parenting perspective) and for adults (from a Marion Method perspective). I emphasise that in Aware Parenting, crying is a vital natural healing response for children, enabling them to release stress and trauma. I connect emotional disconnection in adults to societal issues and suggest that many violent and harmful behaviours stem from unexpressed grief and rage as well as from a sense of disconnection. I draw parallels between individual emotional health and historical/cultural disconnections caused by colonisation, and I track that colonisation back, step by step. I recommend the movie, 'Schooling the World: The white man's last burden", and mention scenes from the film that highlight what I'm talking about. By supporting children in feeling and expressing their feelings, parents can help their children feel more, care more, and make more of a difference in the world. By receiving support ourselves as parents to feel more, we can also be a part of making a difference in the world. I conclude by inviting parents to see their children's tears as part of a broader context of healing and connection, not only for themselves, but also for their community and world. My new Aware Parenting book for babies and children about welcoming feelings is out!

• Episode 228: Separation anxiety

  In this episode of the Aware Parenting Podcast, which is part of the Foundations of Aware Parenting series, I discuss separation anxiety. I delve into the history and current usage of the term and I contrast Aware Parenting's understanding of separation anxiety with Classical Attachment Parenting's understanding. I explore various causes of separation anxiety, including developmental stages, a need for safety, accumulated feelings, past unhealed separation trauma, and the parent's own past unhealed separation trauma. I also emphasise the effect of cultural beliefs on the understanding of separation anxiety and, as always, I offer lots of compassion to parents and children who are experiencing separation anxiety. I provide practical suggestions, such as the use of separation games and listening to crying and raging, to help both parents and children experience more connection, safety, and healing.

• Episode 227: Helping children cooperate with toothbrushing

  In this episode, which is the second in my series of the foundations of Aware Parenting, I talk about helping children cooperate with toothbrushing. I share about my own journey with my teeth and mouth, and how I passed down some of that trauma to my children, and how that affected their willingness with toothbrushing. I talk about the three reasons why children may not be willing to cooperate with toothbrushing, including trauma related to their mouths, and what we can do to tend to each of those three reasons. I offer suggestions for how to respond to each of those three reasons, including attachment play suggestions. Here's the link for my Helping Your Child Cooperate with Toothbrushing Mini Course: https://marionrose.samcart.com/products/helping-your-child-cooperate-with-toothbrushing-mini-course If you want to learn more about attachment play, I highly recommend 'Attachment Play' by Aletha Solter, PhD, and my Attachment Play Course: http://www.attachmentplaycourses.com/join-in You can find out more about my work at www.marionrose.net and my books at: https://marionrose.net/books/ You can also find me here: https://www.instagram.com/theawareparentingpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/_marion_rose_/ https://www.instagram.com/awareparenting/ www.facebook.com/MarionRosePhD
