Episode 225: A Clinical Psychologist and Aware Parenting instructor with Dr. Jessica Klug

Author: Marion Rose, PhD. March 17, 2025 Duration: 42:21
In this episode, I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Jessica Klug, who is a Clinical Psychologist and an Aware Parenting instructor. Jess shares her journey of being deeply passionate about understanding parenting. Her doctoral research was on the impact of parental exposure to to traumatic and stressful life events on parenting practices and child psychological wellbeing and outcomes. Then she became a mother, and realised that none of the parenting practices she was seeing around her resonated with her instincts as a mother, nor her training in developmental psychology. She shares about how she found out about Aware Parenting, and how it was like coming home to an approach that was in tune with all of her values. Jess talks about the research into the long-term effects of parenting paradigms, and how in alignment Aware Parenting is with deeply helpful outcomes. She also talks about how enjoyable practicing Aware Parenting can be. She also shares about the repair that can happen with our children, whenever we first start Aware Parenting, and whatever ruptures we might have experienced. Jess shares a beautiful memory about listening to her son's feelings as she held him in her arms when he was a baby, and how healing that was for her daughter, who hadn't experienced that listening at that age, and how healing it was for her too. She also brings in the importance of doing our own inner work as parents in order to be able to parent in this way. Jess shares about her vision for Aware Parenting, and why Aware Parenting is about so much more than parenting!

Marion Rose, PhD. hosts The Aware Parenting Podcast, drawing from her role as a level two instructor and regional coordinator for Australia and New Zealand within this philosophy. The foundation of her discussions is Aware Parenting, an approach developed by Aletha Solter, PhD. Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid rules, this podcast delves into the nuanced and often emotional landscape of raising children-and ourselves. Each episode considers the practical and psychological aspects of family life, from navigating daily challenges to understanding the deeper patterns that influence our reactions. You’ll hear explorations on how to support children’s emotional expression, build trusting relationships, and approach discipline from a place of connection. The concept of reparenting-the work we do to heal our own childhood experiences-is woven throughout, recognizing how our past shapes our present parenting. Marion’s perspective provides a compassionate framework for anyone looking to move beyond autopilot reactions and cultivate more awareness in their family dynamics. Tuning into this podcast feels like a thoughtful conversation with a knowledgeable guide, one that respects the complexity of both the child’s and the parent’s inner world.
