Jessica Nagy is joining us today to talk about how to raise children to be resilient, even when their dad is destructive. No matter if your kids are spending time alone with their dad at his house because you are separated or divorced or if they are spending time with their dad while you are present, there is a lot of trauma that comes with having an emotionally abusive dad, and we as moms need to know how to help our kids become resilient in the face of this trauma.
In this episode, you will learn about co-regulation (you can regulate yourself right alongside your kids!), practical techniques to help your kids regulate their emotions and develop resilience, find out how to download a free PDF with even more resources, and more. If you are a mother who is also a survivor of emotional abuse, this episode is just for you.
Key Points From This Episode:
- The story behind Mosaic Motherhood, Jessica’s website.
- Why kids actually aren’t as resilient as we may trick ourselves to believe they are.
- The reason why you probably won’t be able to get full custody of your kids (and how you can use your time and resources to prepare them for going over to their dad’s instead!)
- How to co-regulate and why it’s so important for your kids AND for you.
- Why healing ourselves and modeling healing work can be life-changing for your children.
- Why community is so vital for our families.
- Some good news: you only have to be a good enough parent 50% of the time (woot woot!)
