Episode 19: Connection: The Antidote to Addiction and The Gateway to Resilience - Part 2

Part 2 of our excellent interview with Dr. Kolari ---- Jennifer Kolari is one of the nation's leading and sought after Child and Family Therapists and co-founder of “Connected Parenting”. 

The role of a parent today is to be their children's substitute frontal lobe and you have to know as a parent, how and when to back out. This world has changed. With pre life crisis, teenagers being oriented to each other rather than their parents and an entire generation growing up with screens not having neurological hardware to handle trouble. Parenting has changed, kids have changed.

Learn how connection turns into resilience in children. Good adversaries make them better persons but hyper-parenting causes them to become over dependent. Furthermore, it will be explained where parenting instincts are located in the brain and where emergency responses in children are. Jennifer also found out that connection can solve addiction just from a mouse experiment. 

“Connect before you correct”

We can use the mirroring technique, a therapy technique about building, regulating a child's mood, increasing trust and compliance, improving brain function and building a greater immune system. Rise above with this superpower!
