This episode title comes from a quote from Gabor Maté: "It is completely unnatural for kids to be separated from their parents for the whole day."
In this episode, we talk about how The Disconnected Domination culture peddles the lie that babies and children need to be separated from their parents at an early age in order to become independent. We shared about how our own early experiences of separation before we were ready were traumatic, and how that opened our eyes to what we wanted and didn't want for our own children in terms of connection, attachment and separation. We talked about how this belief in the importance of early separation is passed on through shaming, judgment and unhealed trauma. We discussed why attachment-style parenting is the first of three aspects of Aware Parenting, and how we supported our children to be securely attached.
