In this episode of the Frolo podcast, Dr. Martha, a clinical psychologist specialising in family therapy, shares her professional insights and personal experiences, focusing on children, families, and teenagers. Reflecting on her upbringing in a strict Hispanic culture, she discusses how it has influenced her parenting style and addresses the complexities of parenting, including consent, managing different personalities and navigating separation and divorce. The conversation also touches on executive function and improving listening skills, concluding with advice for single parents on self-care and managing difficult moments.

We talk about:

⭐ Why supporting parents to build positive relationships with their children can be more effective than one-on-one therapy for the child.
⭐ How parenting styles should adapt to meet the child's needs, considering cultural and religious influences.
⭐ Why open communication and allowing children to express their feelings are crucial in co-parenting situations.
⭐ The importance of self-care for single parents
