In this episode, we dive into the complexities of parenting through trauma and grief, emphasizing the importance of emotional transparency with children. We discuss the significance of teaching kids to process their emotions without dismissing their feelings. Our guest, Seth, shares insightful strategies for parents to navigate their own grief while supporting their children, highlighting the need for parents to express vulnerability rather than maintaining a facade of constant strength. This episode explores the delicate balance between guiding children and acknowledging one's emotional needs, encouraging a familial atmosphere of open communication and mutual support. We introduce the concept of "emotional hygiene," a practice of regular, intentional family conversations that foster a safe space for sharing feelings. Whether dealing with trauma, loss, or the daily challenges of family life, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice for building a resilient, emotionally connected family unit.
