Nurtured Parent, Nurtured Child

I help mamas find patience in the storm of daily struggles with their kiddos. My name is Caitlyn Pearson Dunn. I am a mother of three children.

I help mothers find patience in the storm of daily struggles with less yelling. Raising children is hard work there’s no doubt about it and there is no guidebook or recipe to follow. I don’t even think it’s that instinctual. Yet it’s the most important thing we do in our lives. We are remembered by the lives we touched, not by the cars we drove, how much money we made or even the important positions we held. Life is about relationships. Through my blog I hope to build a community of people interested in slowing down and reflecting at least when it comes to parenting the next generation. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Fairfield University and I received my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University. I found that the MSW required a lot of self-reflection and has helped me tremendously both personally and professionally. I have been helping families with young children for over 15 years. I learned so much from the parents and teachers that I worked with that it made me realize we need each other to be the best parents we can be.

A pivotal revelation: your mental health is directly tied to your child's mental health. Are you experiencing those chaotic days when you're not feeling top-notch? You're not alone. The challenge of parenting is tough; adding depression or anxiety it can feel impossible. Anxiety or depression can make minor setbacks feel like all is lost, and that's a real problem since parenting is a series of minor setbacks.

But remember, it's not an indefinite or hopeless situation. Let's travel the journey of effective parenting while managing our mental state. When it comes to our children, we're always ready to invest in learning, right? Follow along as we talk about learning to manage our own emotions first.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and there's nothing more significant than a mother's mental health. In my 15-year journey as a therapist and a mother, I’ve seen how nurturing a mother can profoundly affect her and her child, especially in a child's earliest years. It sparked my first blogging attempt, 'Nurtured Parent, Nurtured Child.' I believe that by nurturing mothers, we have the power to revolutionize the world. So, let’s start a dialogue. Let’s make some noise. Let's get loud for the mental health of mothers!

Contrary to the popular misconception, positive parenting is not about coddling or raising 'snowflakes.' It's about equipping your child with the right tools to navigate life's challenges.

Coddling is about removing any and every obstacle, while positive or gentle parenting is about building resilience. Positive parenting helps children to weather whatever life throws at them while being rooted in the certainty of being loved and valued. Have you ever encountered this misconception? What's your perspective?
