On this episode of Community Cocktails with Kimberly, I sit down with Bridget Jowid, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor at PATH Counseling and Wellness. We discussed the critical role of early attachment in communication and relationships, highlighting the need for parents to be attuned to their children's cues while creating a safe, loving space for them to explore and return to. Our discussion also touched on the challenges of parenting teenagers, where Bridget stressed the importance of providing guidance and support while allowing them to experience freedom and independence.
