Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 24 ratings
  • A treasured parenting resource

    I love this show often listening to the episodes multiple times. So much wisdom. The focus on helping parents improve on themselves and how they relate to others, rather than anxiously focusing on changing the child.

Respecting Differences, Staying Connected: Navigating Holidays Without Losing Yourself With Dr. Kathleen Smith
Q: What is a simple daily practice that helps maintain self during the holidays?
Spend a few minutes each morning focusing on personal priorities and how you want to function, which reduces energy wasted on trying to mold others and increases your resilience.
Respecting Differences, Staying Connected: Navigating Holidays Without Losing Yourself With Dr. Kathleen Smith
Q: How can parents communicate plans to accommodate both family expectations and their own needs?
Use clear, non blaming language (the I-position), articulate what is important to you, and offer practical arrangements (e.g., leaving earlier for bedtime) to reduce conflict and set realistic expectations.
Respecting Differences, Staying Connected: Navigating Holidays Without Losing Yourself With Dr. Kathleen Smith
Q: What is the best starting point for someone who is new to defining self in a holiday setting?
Start with small, concrete steps: identify one or two core boundaries or intentions, communicate them calmly, and plan one-on-one interactions to build understanding before attempting broader group changes.
Parenting Beyond Worry: Breaking Cycles & Building Hope this Mental Health Month
Q: How does the shift from 'child as project' to 'parent as project' look in real life?
It involves recognizing patterns, choosing not to over-interpret every sign, and consciously acting with restraint and intentionality, so the parent's changes set the stage for the child to grow more resourcefully.
Parenting Beyond Worry: Breaking Cycles & Building Hope this Mental Health Month
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the topic?
We discuss how societal stress and conflicting information about mental health heighten parental anxiety, and how Bowen Theory offers a framework to focus on self-regulation and clearer parenting principles rather than attempting to control the child's behavior.
