Co-dependence is rampant in modern society, with studies showing 90-96% of adults exhibit some level of co-dependence. Because children do need parents to varying degrees throughout childhood, it can be difficult to parse out healthy parent-child connection to when it spills over to co-dependent patterns. Since most adults have experienced some level of co-dependence in their own childhood, it's hard to always recognize how it expresses in our own parenting. How can we as parents begin to break these patterns for our kids so they can learn healthy relationship patterns? In this episode, I cover what co-dependence is, signs of co-dependence in general, how it often shows up in parent-child dynamics and some steps to freeing our kids from this unhealthy and often detrimental pattern of relating.
