Drawing from her experience as a trauma therapist, she emphasizes the importance of modeling appropriate behavior, teaching vital skills, and maintaining emotional balance. Learn concrete methods for practicing active listening, problem-solving, and the key strategies to constructively work with your kids. With practical examples and tips, Jamie aims to transform our approach towards parenting, moving away from impressing others and shifting focus towards truly nurturing and raising emotionally healthy and well-adjusted individuals. It's time to redefine what being a 'good parent' truly means.
