Attachment and Self-led Parenting

Parenting from the Inside

Show Notes

In this episode of Parenting from the Inside with Anna and Joel, we take our first dive into the huge topic of attachment.

We focus on the meaning of secure and insecure attachment and how Self-led parenting can create the secure foundation our children need to thrive in the world.

(Listen to episode 1 to learn the basics of Internal Family Systems (IFS) if you want to hear more details about what it means to be 'Self'-led rather than 'Parts'-led).

Attachment is the foundation of our lives - for feeling loved and building our sense of safety and security in the world. It is also an important foundation in understanding our partners and our children that can shape our parenting and help us create strong and secure relationships with those closest to us.
