In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of eggshell parenting—the subtle but powerful ways emotional unpredictability in the home can shape a child’s developing mind. Using research and real-life stories, I explore the lasting effects of growing up in an emotionally volatile environment, and how parents can break the cycle for future generations.

Remember – perfection isn’t the goal. Children need to see healthy emotional expression and restoration of relationships, not flawless parenting. Awareness is also key because recognizing patterns is the first step toward change. It’s never too late to resolve if you want to change your child’s experience. You can start smoothing the creases and create a safer emotional environment for their kids.
