Are We Accidentally Making Our Children More Anxious? | Dr Tara Porter

from Hurt to Healing

Today I’m joined by psychologist and bestselling author Dr Tara Porter for a conversation about parenting, perfectionism and what children really need from us emotionally.We talk about why so many young people are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm and feelings of not being good enough, and how modern parenting can sometimes unintentionally fuel those pressures.Tara shares such wise and compassionate insights about attachment, boundaries, overachievement, social media and the importance of being a good enough parent rather than a perfect one.What I loved most about this conversation is that it feels deeply reassuring. It’s not about getting everything right. It’s about connection, curiosity and allowing children the space to become fully themselves.I think every parent, and honestly every adult, will take something from this episode.Find Dr Tara Porter:Website: https://www.taraporterpsychologist.com/Instagram: @drtaraporterpsychologistBooks: https://www.taraporterpsychologist.com/school-packagesStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodYouTube: youtube.com/@hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
