Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 038: Dr. Jenna Flowers on How to Practice Conscious Coparenting · 20 Dec 2016 podcast

Typically with kids that have more high needs are are definitely wired, they're really sensitive to what's happening into the emotional lives of their parents.

So the more calm you are about how you relate this, the more that you've done your own inner emotional work before you share with the kids what is about to happen to the family, the better off your kids will be.

Great to be here, Debbie.

Thank you so much for having me.

I agree and even for parents that are together to be preventative with their marriages is really key.

So, you know, this is something to be conscientious of of when you're

parent uh parenting a child that is differently wired, how are you maintaining and sustaining your your your marriage so that you guys are a healthy team for your children and for yourselves?

Sure.

My practice is in uh Newport Beach, California and I see individuals uh as well as couples.

I do parenting consultations and then I have been teaching a curriculum that I co developed called conscious mothering.

and see parents regularly in my groups, um, as well as give seasonal parenting book discussion courses.

So we take the latest book and we talk about it and apply it to our families.

And I when I first started out, I was um in a consultation group with Dan Siegel at his office in Brentwood when he was there in Brentwood years back.

And so interpersonal neurobiology was just something that was completely fascinating to me.

And when I read his book, Parenting from the Inside Out, with Mary Hartzell, it just blew my mind.

I was like, This is what parenting is all about, understanding how we grew up.

uh our own attachment styles and then how it ends up translating into our current style of parenting with our children.

So my kind of my my flag out there to parents is have the ability to repair, repair the hurts for yourself from your own childhood so that you can be more present with your children and then make choices that are really conscious in who you want to be as a parent and how you want your children to really know you rather than parenting from a very unconscious place.

I would define conscious co-parenting as two parents that are very intentional about listening with full attention and embracing a really non-judgmental acceptance of yourself and your child.

As well as even your co parents.
