EP 200 Am I a Good Enough Parent? with special guest Bill Senyard

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!   Topic: Attachment theory suggests that our children have two subconscious questions that drive their behaviors. Q1: Is there someone out there who really has my back, who I can count on no matter what? Q2: Is there someone out there who actually loves me as I am? Ideally, parents are the answers to both of those questions.   One way or another parents can lean into becoming that person. There are baby-steps to get there.   By the time your child is 2 years old, they have already formed deeply rooted inner-working models that cause them to see relationships and the world in a certain way. These inner working models can be modified by an intentional effort by parents and caregivers--particularly during adolescence.   Questions: What is the attachment theory? What difference does it make to parenting? What is the importance of attunement?   I have tweens or teens now. Is there something that I can do that would change how they respond to me? How is all of this related to the gospel? What does the name Good Enough Parent mean? What is the Good Enough Parent program all about? Who benefits?   Bio: Dr. Bill Senyard is an author, speaker, and pastor of 30 years. He is a husband, parent of three, and grandparent of two—so far.
