If we try to just kind of buffer them or remove them, like you said, it's kind of like letting them live in Disneyland of oh, I can do all these amazing, fun, crazy things and nothing's going to happen.
Parenting a child misusing drugs or alcohol is an emotional rollercoaster. Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', dives into this tough subject with Dr. Julie Jarvis, a compassionate psychologist with extensive experience in addiction. Together, they tackle the challenging yet crucial strategies of setting boundaries and allowing natural consequences to unfold. Have you ever wondered how to let your child face the outcomes of their choices without stepping in to shield them? Dr.
Jarvis sheds light on this, emphasizing the importance of understanding the brain's response to substance use and how parents can offer unwavering support without enabling harmful behaviors. She also touches on the psychological aspects of addiction treatment and why getting nutrients from food can be beneficial in recovery. One standout moment is when Dr. Jarvis compares overprotective parenting to letting kids live in a Disneyland where actions have no real consequences.
It's a powerful metaphor that highlights the necessity of letting children learn from their mistakes. This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating the stormy seas of a child's addiction, offering practical advice and heartfelt empathy.
