Our greatest fear and HOW to trauma proof our kids. Remarkably, the simple act of recalling a feeling, linking it to a specific experience, and openly sharing it enhances emotional awareness and control, not only in children but also in adults. This process wires our emotive midbrain to our higher-level "learning" brain, enriching our emotional intelligence. For parents who experienced high levels of stress or trauma during their upbringing, engaging in this simple ritual with our children holds a profound impact. This practice nurtures our hippocampus, allowing us to integrate disconnected memories and heal inner wounds. Moreover, it soothes our reactive limbic firing, rebalancing our emotions and diminishing the detrimental effects of chronic stress. As our children learn and grow, so too do we as parents. We can reparent ourselves… healing the past even as when we learn how to show up for ourselves and our children— in the present. Want support for the journey? We got ‘ja.
