Helping Our Kids Through Trauma can Trigger Our Own Abuse Part 1

Send us Fan MailWhen the echoes of our past traumas surface as we navigate the waters of parenthood, the journey can be complex. Denise and Ann open up about the raw, emotional challenges they've faced in an attempt to parent effectively without their fears and experiences overshadowing our children's growth. From confronting the specter of inappropriate behavior to instilling the principles of consent and personal boundaries, we traverse the thin line that separates vigilance from overprotection. Our candid stories shed light on the complexities of safeguarding our kids while not encasing them in our shadows.As we unpack the impact of our own traumas on the way we raise our little ones, you'll hear about some of our own encounters. We also tackle the oft-avoided topic of abuse, discussing how to break the silence and educate our kids on right and wrong touches, particularly with regard to children who perceive the world differently, like those on the autism spectrum. Denise shares her insight on negotiating the minefield of age-appropriate conversations and handling situations where boundaries may inadvertently be crossed. Together, we offer an unguarded look into the heart of parenting through trauma, hoping to empower other parents grappling with similar battles.Follow us on Tina and Ann's website  https://www.realtalktinaann.com/Facebook: Real Talk with Tina and Ann | Facebookor at:  [email protected] or [email protected] Podcasts: Real Talk with Tina and Ann on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Real Talk with Tina and Ann | Podcast on SpotifyAmazon Music: Real Talk with Tina and Ann Podcast | Listen on Amazon MusiciHeart Radio: Real Talk with Tina and Ann Podcast | Listen on Amazon MusicCastro: Real Talk with Tina and Ann (castro.fm)Support the show
