Kids want discipline. But they crave the discipline and the routine and the structure because what that tells a kid is: I'm loved.
What happens to children when their parents struggle with addiction? In this episode of 'Journeys of Hope', Alisa Sawyer, a Therapeutic Child Care Coordinator at MARR's Right Side Up program, shares her experiences working with families navigating early recovery. Alisa discusses how children often mimic the chaotic behaviors they witness at home and miss out on typical childhood experiences.
She emphasizes the need for structure and consistency to help rebuild a stable family environment, offering kids the love and security they need to thrive. Alisa also tackles the heavy stigma that parents in recovery face and the crucial role of trust and belief in the healing process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the ripple effects of addiction on families and how to support those on the path to recovery.
