Connecting before we correct is our superpower as parents with Jennifer Kolari
from Can't Call Your Mom with Nicole Weston · host Nicole Weston | Motherless mothers navigating life after motherloss
Jennifer Kolari, M.S.W., R.S.W. Child and Family Therapist and Founder of Connected Parenting I am so honoured to have connected with Jennifer Kolari during such an important time in our lives. We discussed the power of empathy and compassion and why we need it to build a healthy immune system. Jennifer walked us through her parenting technique CALM and why even in the smallest moments we can make a huge impact with our children. I loved every part of this interview especially how as mothers we can always ‘repair through mirroring”. Jennifer shares, “there is a beautiful way to parent your children using empathy and compassion that builds resilience, helps with emotional regulation, speeds up neuroplasticity and strengthens the immune system. I teach parents to use language, compassion, and empathy as medicine. I believe that children are different today. They are spicy and feisty and they are built differently and we have an incredible responsibility to parent these children into strong, dynamic adults who are going to need to take on challenges and shift paradigms in the world”.
