What does it really mean to be a present parent? And what does your child actually need from you to feel seen, heard, safe, and connected?
In this episode of Becoming Untriggered, Lavinia and Andrew sit down with their daughter to explore respectful parenting from a child’s perspective. They talk about building a stronger relationship with your child, understanding their individual needs, what helps children feel safe enough to talk to their parents, and why presence and connection often matter more than having the “perfect” parenting strategy. Learn about parental wounds, emotional regulation, repair after parenting mistakes, and why it’s never too late to do your own inner work and become a more present, connected parent.
