In this week’s episode we talk to Rebecca Cefai from Growing Gently Psychology about all things parenting.
As a registered psychologist with many years of experience working in the childhood development and parenting space, Rebecca was perfectly positioned for a smooth transition to motherhood.
However, like everyone else, motherhood turned her world upside down and she quickly realised that there was a gap between best practice parenting and what was realistic when you were on the ground, in the trenches and knee deep in parenting.
Throughout the conversation we discuss both what the research says about parenting and our own lived experiences, including stories of when we really got it wrong.
Rebecca teaches us how to get clear about our parenting style, what to do when you are not on the same page as your partner, how to repair when you f*ck it up and so much more.
Subsequently, we explore the responsive/ gentle parenting style, including what it is, why there is a growing trend towards this kind of parenting and what it looks like in a real life context.
At 37 weeks pregnant and in lockdown, Rebecca also shares her plans for birth, including her hope to have a maternal assisted cesarian.
This was an honest, vulnerable & non-judgemental conversation about parenting.
