Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   - It may be taboo to say, but it's very common for parents to feel more connected to one child than another.   - A sample script you can use with your kids to articulate the different types of relationship dynamics you have with each of them that will serve to actually strengthen your bond.   - Some kids require extra support which may lead to more friction in your relationship - how you can orient these kids to what connects you over what is more challenging about your relationship.   - Why focusing on children’s strengths, especially children who are more sensitive or explosive, can be so crucial.    - How you can form a stronger bond with a child who you may not naturally feel as easily connected to.       ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about how to respond if your child is favoring one parent   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about the pressure to be a perfect mom with Gayane Aramyan   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about fostering deep and meaningful relationships with Dr. Rick Hanson     WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:   Go to https://drsarahbren.com/question to send us a question or a topic you want to hear us answer on Securely Attached - Beyond the Sessions!
