Let's get specific about what attachment issues actually look like in everyday parenting.

🎯 Your 5-year-old won't put their shoes on. You've asked 5 times. Next thing you know you're in a rage screaming about shoes and feeling like a monster.

🎯 Your teen comes home and goes straight to their room. You feel anxious, rejected, wondering what you did to upset them. You text them repeatedly even though they're just upstairs.

🎯 Bedtime is a battle. Your child always wants one more hug for the 10th time and you're torn between feeling trapped and feeling guilty for wanting them to just GO TO SLEEP!

🎯 Your partner suggests you're being too hard on the kids and you feel attacked, defensive, like you're failing at the one job that matters most.

Why does this happen?

It's not because you don't love your kids enough.
It's not because you haven't read enough parenting books.
It's not because you're broken.

It's because your attachment style is running the show and you didn't even know it had the remote.

When you gain a deeper understanding of your attachment style
💡 You'll know why the small stuff triggers big reactions and you will realise that it's your nervous system, not the shoes.
💡 You'll understand why closeness feels suffocating or distance feels terrifying
💡 You'll see the exact parenting conditions that created your attachment style so you can create different ones for your kids
💡 You'll stop the guilt spiral because you'll understand you're not failing, you're just operating from old programming that can be updated

This is what we're diving into in Parenting with Intention.
No judgment. No shame. Just understanding, compassion and practical tools you can use immediately.

💖👇🙌

In the 1950s, every kindergartener knew the ritual: crayons down, lights low, and the soft hum of a record spinning through the air.
Naptime wasn’t a break — it was part of learning.

Teachers dimmed the lights, tiptoed between mats, and whispered, “Close your eyes.”
Kids rested, dreamed, or just stared at sunbeams dancing on the ceiling — learning something we’ve since forgotten: that rest is part of growth.

Then came the tests.
The “readiness.”
The race to get ahead.
By the 1980s, naps were gone. The mats rolled up. The lights stayed on.

Today, five-year-olds spend more time in structured lessons than third-graders did in the 1950s — no pauses, no quiet, no chance to just be.
And we wonder why they’re anxious.

Maybe it’s time we remembered what our teachers once knew:
You don’t grow by running all the time.
You grow in the stillness too.
Even big kids need naptime sometimes.

What most parents don't realise is that their own stress and their child's anxiety are feeding each other.

When you're overwhelmed and feeling stressed as a parent, your child can feel unsafe which results in an increase in their anxiety. Your stress escalates with the increase in your child's anxiety and the cycle continues.

You can't support your child's behaviour when your nervous system is dysregulated.

This is exactly why I created parent focused support!

I have felt like the crappy mum in the moments where I was caught between overwhelm, frustration and guilt. I've questioned if I was doing enough and why everything I tried didn't work.

Then I discovered something that changed everything.

When I healed my own stress, my childhood patterns and nervous system dysregulation, it was like magic happened. My children's anxiety, challenging behaviours and outbursts naturally decreased.

Not because I learned better parenting techniques but because I became a more regulated, calmer presence they could finally feel safe with.

If you would like to work together to break the cycle then let's connect!
