386: Raising Securely Attached Kids // Eli Harwood

Author: Cloud10 September 2, 2024 Duration: 37:20
We all know how important it is to raise securely attached kids, but how to do it can be the tricky part!  It's true what they say about parenting: The days are long but the years are short. I feel like the years are flying by with my two kids, who are both now in double digits, and I often find myself wondering how I can parent them in a way that will keep our bonds strong through their teen years and into adulthood - and in a way that they will thrive in their adult relationships after they leave my care. This is why I've been drawn to the work of therapist and author Eli Harwood, who has dedicated her career to studying research on attachment theory and making it applicable to everyday humans trying to build secure relationships, whether that's the clients in her private practice, the hundreds of thousands who follow her on social media, or the people across the world who read her books.   Eli's newest book, Raising Securely Attached Kids, will be released on September 3, 2024, and it was a thrill to have her back on the podcast to discuss this important topic.  For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. *** Announcements: Sign up for my FREE masterclass to learn all about rerouting your mom rage!
