Could the secret to easier co-parenting be as simple as understanding your emotions? Licensed professional counselor and play therapist Jenny Hornby joins the conversation to explore this and more. Our discussion offers listeners a fascinating glimpse into the world of emotional regulation—a crucial skill for parents who must navigate their own feelings while helping children identify and manage theirs. Jenny provides valuable insights on how parents can avoid the trap of overprotective parenting and instead foster resilience and self-sufficiency in their children.
The episode also delves into the intricate and often misunderstood areas of emotional incest and enmeshment within co-parenting dynamics. In a compassionate dialogue, We emphasize the importance of establishing boundaries and promoting individuation for children. We stress that creating a safe, non-judgmental environment for children to express their feelings is essential. This approach not only strengthens the child’s emotional foundation but also helps concerned parents address these sensitive issues without blaming the unaware parent.
Listeners are introduced to practical strategies that make transitions between parents smoother and less stressful for children. From completing activities before handoffs to developing comforting rituals, these small adjustments can have a significant impact. Jenny shares her creative approach to child therapy, incorporating play and warmth to help children feel supported. Her online presence, including "Miss Jenny's Neighborhood," offers additional resources for parents seeking guidance. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating the challenges of co-parenting and seeking to nurture emotionally resilient children.
