Raising resilient kids by breaking generational cycles. Katie Egge, CEN and Parent Coach
Breaking generational patterns and raising emotionally healthy kids means allowing our child to be honest with us about when and how we hurt them, even if it's unintentional on our part. Many adult children who have experienced emotional neglect try to confront their parents about their childhoods only to be met with defensiveness and invalidation. This is often a sign of an emotionally immature parent. AND it can still be incredibly painful to hear this kind of response. Healing and moving forward from childhood emotional neglect is still possible. And it's also possible to move on and navigate difficult relationships with your parents more effectively, even if your parents never change in the ways you are hoping for.
