OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
When is it useful for our kids to hear about our own life experiences—including situations caused by our own bad decision-making?
When does it become oversharing, or get too personal or inappropriate?
We discuss how to know how much to tell our kids, and how to have useful difficult conversations, including:
- our own past choices around drinking, drugs, and sexual activity
- the family secrets that may be part of our history
- traumatic and difficult experiences: how do you get across what's important without giving a child information too heavy for them to hold?
- divorce and family conflict: how not to recruit kids into taking sides of adult disagreements
- serious illness of a parent, grandparent, or another loved one Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
- Our Fresh Take with Dr. Mary Martin
- Lori Michas for Grown and Flown: How Much of Your Past Should You Share With Your Teen?
