A parent is the one meant to care for their child emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically and financially.

The difficult thing about Parentification is that so many of us have experienced it so much so that it is normalised in many cultures and societies. As highly efficient children and teens it seems like we have it all together and then we become adults and things feel like they are falling apart in certain areas of our lives yet we do not have a reference to the reasons why because this was seen as normal growing up. 

This episode discusses Parentification: understanding its types, how it plays out and the consequences of it. We are seeing it more and more in the children around us because there are things we are taking for granted that we need to act on to help the children in our communities. For ourselves as well, we need to understand it and self reflect so that we can heal from some of these things that have been invisible binds holding us back.
