Description

For all its joys, parenting is often a roller coaster of challenges. Even when parents are at the top of their game, the most routine curveballs—quarreling siblings, a child’s public meltdown, or a phone call from a teacher—can trigger unresolved shame, guilt, or anger. But the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach can help parents more fully understand and heal the wounds their children will inevitably evoke in them, allowing them to better set healthy limits, while also creating a more nurturing family environment.

Objectives

  1. Incorporate “a part of me language” in family conversation to allow for safe ways to have difficult discussions with children.
  2. Create ways to engage parents in an exploration of their reactive moments with compassion and empathy instead of guilt and shame.
  3. Plan an agreement with parents that allows for healthy co-parenting and minimizes the negative impact they can have on their kids when they’re not at their best.
  4. Explain how to help parents lead from a place of power and set limits for their children while still expressing love and support.
