Overview
In a world that highly values independence and self-sufficiency, the natural developmental dependence of children can create a disconnect between parents and their children. This disconnect is exacerbated when parents encourage independence in their children before they have developed the capacity for healthy self-regulation. Children need parents who emotionally regulate them and provide healthy self-esteem and self-concept through attachment. However, many parents struggle with these responsibilities, as embracing their child’s dependence can be challenging.
What happens when a parent promotes independence too early for their child? How does the division of independence from their parents affect a developing child? How does a disconnected child self-regulate? What happens when a child is developing self-esteem apart from a parent’s secure attachment?
In this workshop, Dr. Christina Reese, clinician and author with 20 years of experience, will explore these questions and discuss the far-reaching consequences of attachment dysfunction.
Learn ways to build healthy attachment in parent-child relationships, steps to grow felt safety and security within that relationship and ways to help parents understand their role in emotionally regulating their child. Equip yourself with essential insights and strategies for implementing attachment-based interventions that foster felt safety and strengthen emotional regulation.
