Will Our Children Need Therapy? Honest Reflections on Millennial Parenting [Ep. 17]

Millennial Parenting & The New Age of AccountabilityIn this thought-provoking episode, I explore a fascinating cultural shift happening right now: millennials appear to be the first generation collectively holding their parents accountable for harmful parenting choices. I dive into what this means for us as we parent the next generation, examining how we'll respond when our own children inevitably point out where we've fallen short. From discussing the differences between big-T and little-t trauma to questioning whether millennials might be overcorrecting with too much hovering or emotional focus, this episode challenges us to consider how we'll receive feedback from our children with the same openness we expect from our parents. I share my personal commitment to supporting my daughter's healing journey (should she need one) and invite you to reflect on how we can move the baton of generational healing forward.With this episode you'll be able to:Understand the difference between "big-T" and "little-t" trauma in parent-child relationshipsRecognize how millennials are breaking the silence around harmful parenting practicesIdentify potential areas where millennial parents might be overcorrecting previous generations' mistakesDevelop strategies to receive future feedback from your children with grace and accountabilityLearn why intentional parenting requires understanding your mother's story and your "factory settings"Break free from automatically repeating generational patterns in your own parentingDon't forget to share your thoughts on how you're preparing to receive feedback from your children or what patterns you're consciously trying to break!
