There is no shortage of accessible information, advice, and strategies for us parents, but it can all get a bit much. When seeking answers about how to handle a particular challenge, when anxiety shows up, or how we can build resilience, we can be left more confused than we were before we turned to friends, family, Google, or Chat GPT for help. Sometimes, we need to zoom out and look at things from a different perspective.

This week's guest, Child Psychologist Clare Rowe, helps us do just that, reminding us that our role as parents is to 'turn out a fully functioning, independent human being'. We can all lose sight of this in the day-to-day mayhem of family life. Clare shares so many pearls of wisdom in this episode relating to anxiety, resilience, distress, emotional regulation, consequences and creating daily opportunities for independence.
