Compassionate Heart Parenting

Your 8-year-old slams the door. Your 11-year-old melts down over homework. Are they too old for this? In this episode, I explain what big kids are really asking for when they fall apart, and what to do next.

I'm Michelle Puster, a licensed therapist, Emotionally Focused Family Therapist Supervisor, and a mom of three who has used Hand in Hand Parenting in my own family for over 10 years. We look at the attachment science behind meltdowns in kids ages 5 to 12: what Spitz observed in 1945, Bowlby's secure base and safe haven, Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson's upstairs and downstairs brain, Dr. Laura Markham's empathic limits, and Hand in Hand's Staylistening. We also talk about how stress moves through the body, and I walk you through a simple 3-question pause for the next time your child falls apart.

A physiotherapist, craniosacral therapist, and Hand in Hand Parenting instructor joins Michelle to unpack what's really happening underneath kids' big behaviors — and why "fixing it" so often misses the point.

Drawing on attachment theory and an Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) lens, Shelley Clark explains why meltdowns after school, sibling fights, and "it's not about the banana" moments are the nervous system completing a stress cycle — and why leaning in, rather than correcting, is what actually helps kids (and parents) come back into balance.

Topics covered: EFFT and attachment-informed parenting, "no to the behavior, yes to the feelings," the body's stress response cycle, Hand in Hand Parenting tools (Staylistening and playlistening), and why parents can't always lean in — and why that's human, not a failure.

A therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) shares the parenting moment she's kept private for years — and the attachment-based shift that changed how she responds to her kids' hardest behaviors.

Michelle breaks down why difficult behavior is a signal of distress, not defiance, using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), attachment science, and brain development research (Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. Laura Markham, Hand in Hand Parenting). She shares her own story — including the moment that pushed her to stop parenting from punishment and start parenting from connection.

Topics covered: EFFT and attachment theory, "flipping the lid," co-regulation, gentle/connected parenting, and why self-compassion matters as much as any parenting technique.

Your grade-schooler shuts down after school. Your preteen slams their door and won't talk. It's one of the hardest moments in parenting — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with Joss Goulden — a Level 2 Aware Parenting Instructor and mother of two now-adult children, ages 22 and 20 — for a conversation that reframes difficult behavior entirely. Joss explains what's actually happening in a child's nervous system when they withdraw, melt down, or become defiant, and why it's never about disrespect. She shares the "wind-up toy" metaphor for how small daily stresses accumulate into meltdowns that seem to come out of nowhere, walks through nine types of attachment play that help children of every age move through big feelings, and offers one of the most moving descriptions of authentic repair and apology you'll hear on this podcast.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why a child's shutdown, defiance, or meltdown is a nervous system safety signal — not a behavior problem to correct
• The two things to tend to when a child pulls away: what's happening inside the parent, and what the child actually needs
• Nine types of attachment play (from Aletha Solter's research) that help kids move through big feelings — including regression play and power reversal play
• The "wind-up toy" metaphor for how small everyday stresses accumulate into what looks like an out-of-nowhere meltdown
• Why play should come before conversation, correction, or "teachable moments" — and why kids often can't absorb language while emotionally flooded
• What genuinely meeting a child's needs for information, connection, and autonomy looks like in small everyday moments
• What an authentic apology and repair actually sound like — including a beautiful story about Joss's own teenagers and what real repair made possible in their relationship

When Rebecca Sheikh lost her mother, something in her shifted beyond grief. She found herself understanding, in a deeply embodied way, just how enormous separation actually feels — and how desensitized we, as adults, have become to how big that experience is for our children.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with Rebecca Sheikh — a certified Level 2 Aware Parenting Instructor and regional coordinator for the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa — for a conversation that moves fluidly between deep personal vulnerability and clinically grounded parenting wisdom. Rebecca shares what her mother's death opened up in her own understanding of attachment and loss, what "loving limits" actually sound like in real family moments, why play should almost always come before correction, and her own honest admission that despite decades of training and titles, her husband and three kids remain the hardest people for her to truly listen to.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How losing her mother deepened Rebecca's understanding of attachment, separation, and grief — and what it revealed about how children experience separation from caregivers
• The three main aspects of Aware Parenting: attachment-style relationship, non-punitive discipline, and recognizing stress and trauma as root causes of behavioral and emotional struggles
• What "loving limits" means in practice, and how it differs from both permissiveness and punishment — including a real example involving a glass vase
• Why play should come before "fixing" a difficult behavior, and the framework of attachment play Rebecca uses with the families she supports
• The three most common reasons parents struggle to meet a child's needs — including Pam Leo's insight that meeting the parent's own needs should be chapter one, not chapter seven
• Why even highly trained, expert parents still struggle in real time — and why that struggle is not evidence of failure

Just when you finally understand your child's current stage — they move into the next one, and you have to learn everything all over again.

In this episode Michelle sits down with Rachel Thomas, a therapist specializing in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy — an attachment-based approach that helps caregivers show up as accessible, responsive, and engaged so children can develop secure attachment. As a parent of two young adults, ages 19 and 21, Rachel has lived every stage of this work both clinically and personally — including, on the day of this recording, sending her son off for his sophomore year of college.

Rachel shares some of her most honest parenting stories: the frustrated morning school-drop-off that changed after a tragedy made her rethink how she said goodbye each day, the time her son hid her phone under the couch because he wanted her attention, and the day her middle schooler asked her to stop touching him — and what she did with her own grief about that request.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What ARE — accessible, responsive, engaged — actually means, and why it was never meant to be a 24/7 standard
• Why letting go is not one moment but a practice repeated at every stage of parenting
• How anxious and avoidant parenting styles show up differently — and why both need to stretch toward "the stronger, wiser other"
• How to know when to press in and encourage a child forward, and when to step back and let them lead
• Why "it depends" is often the most honest and clinically accurate answer in parenting
• How to grieve the small endings of parenthood without placing that grief on your child
• Why getting support — a listening partner, a therapist, a co-parent in the form of your child's own therapist — is one of the most powerful things a parent can do

Play is one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, tools in peaceful parenting. In this episode, Michelle shares why play works so well to defuse tension, build connection, and help kids (and parents!) regulate big emotions, along with simple ways to bring more playful moments into everyday parenting.

Have you ever felt like you had to choose between understanding your child and actually holding the limit? Between empathy and authority? Between connection and correction?

Allison Zangari Arnett — Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and certified Emotionally Focused Family, Couple, and Individual Therapist with over a decade of experience — is here to tell you: you do not have to choose.

In this episode Allison and Michelle explore one of the most powerful reframes in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy — that you can validate your child's feeling without validating their behavior. That connection before correction is not softness — it is strategy. And that what looks like a screen battle is almost never really about screens.

Allison also brings something rare to this conversation: she is a brand new mom of a 6-month-old, which means she is navigating this work personally in a whole new way — and her honesty about her own reactivity, her own fear of getting it wrong, and her own need for support makes this one of the most human and relatable conversations on the podcast.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The core EFFT reframe — you can validate your child's feeling without validating their behavior — and what that sounds like in a real screen moment
• What connection before correction means in practice — and why front-loading with connection before you correct changes what your child can actually hear
• Why your child's screen battle is almost never really about screens — and what it is actually about underneath
• What to do when your child does not trust your repair attempts — and why that mistrust is actually a sign of healthy vulnerability
• Why rejection from your child is one of the hardest kinds of rejection there is — and how to resource yourself through it
• What repair actually sounds like — keeping your side of the street clean without making it about your child's behavior
• Why it is never too late — not at 12, not at 17, not at 30 — and why Allison would have to become an accountant if repair was not possible

When your child is struggling — really struggling, in a way that scares you — the hardest part is often not what is happening with your child. It is the helplessness. The fear that no matter how much you love them you cannot reach them. And what Emotionally Focused Therapy calls "attachment panic" — the state a parent enters when their child is suffering and emotionally unreachable.

In this episode Michelle sits down with Corien Boers — certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and supervisor from the Netherlands with over 25 years of experience working with families, including deep clinical work with children and adolescents navigating eating disorders — for one of the most moving and clinically grounded conversations on the podcast.

Corien introduces the concept of "professional nearness" — the idea that being genuinely touched by a family's pain is more powerful than professional helping — and shares what happens to the parent-child bond when a child is in crisis and the parent's loving intent comes out sideways as control, rigidity, or anxiety. She also offers something that every parent of a struggling child needs to hear: when a child pushes you away, storms off, or shuts down completely — they are almost never saying "I don't need you." They are saying "I am overwhelmed and I do not know how to reach for you."

This episode is for any parent whose child is going through something hard — not only families navigating eating disorders, but any parent who has ever felt shut out, helpless, or terrified that their love is not reaching their child.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What Emotionally Focused Therapy calls attachment panic — and how it shapes everything a parent does when their child is suffering
• Why a child who pushes you away, goes silent, or becomes oppositional is sending an attachment signal — not a rejection
• What professional nearness means — and why it changes the therapeutic relationship and the parent-child relationship
• How an eating disorder can become a child's safe haven when the family cycle feels threatening — and what shifts when a parent can move from fear and control toward connection
• What to say — and what not to say — when your child storms off or refuses to engage
• Why "I love you too" said lightly is more connecting than "I love you" said with urgency
• How to stay present and protect all your children simultaneously when one child is in crisis
• Corien's three-word practice for parents in their hardest moments: Stop. Listen. Feel.

Guest: Corien Boers — Living in the Netherlands. Married and mother of three. She started her career working with disabled children. From there, she began working in a youth psychiatric hospital and became a family therapist in the inpatient and outpatient units that treated children with an eating disorder. After a few years, she made the transition to adult psychiatry while remaining in the field of eating disorders. Not only in the Netherlands, but she also worked at the intensive treatment program for adults with eating disorders, "Be-Leef," in Portugal. Currently, she works in her own practice and provides counseling to couples and individuals.

She is an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist supervisor and a sidekick trainer for the EFCT training programs.

She is passionate about strengthening connections within families and relationships. Giving people a voice—about themselves, to themselves, and to the people they love.
