If we parent our children with a previously set outcome, we're missing out on the unbelievable beauty of seeing what we've actually created.
Have you ever heard of 'jackhammer parenting'? It's a term that goes beyond the well-known 'helicopter parenting' and takes over-involvement to a whole new level. In this episode of 'Siblinghood of Recovery', Angie Reno dives into the world of jackhammer parents—those who relentlessly push their children towards success, often without considering the toll it takes on their mental health.
Angie draws from Madeline Levine's eye-opening book, 'The Price of Privilege', which reveals how adolescents from affluent backgrounds are grappling with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse due to immense pressure. But that's not all. She also introduces Evoke Therapy's circle technique, a method that encourages parents to step back and allow their children the space to grow and learn independently.
Angie shares her personal experiences with trauma and intergenerational trauma, emphasizing how understanding these issues can change lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the delicate balance of supporting children without overwhelming them. It's packed with practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a touch of humor to keep things engaging. Tune in to learn how to better support your child's mental health while navigating the challenges of modern parenting.
