January 07, 2024Fostering an Intentional & Healthy Parent-Child Relationship ft. Therapy with Special Guest Desiree Argentina
Episode Introduction:
It’s time to build an intentional and healthy relationship with your child. Tune in to learn more!

Episode Summary:
In this week’s episode of The Purple Butterfly Podcast, our guest Desiree Argentina joins us to share her perspective on parent-child relationships as a child therapist. While she talks about the importance of therapy for both children and parents, she also shares a lot of action steps that parents can take today to foster a healthier relationship with their children.

Key Takeaways:
3 Things You Can Expect in 2024 as a Part of The Purple Butterfly Community:
Empowering Content

A Supportive Community

Love & Positivity
In order for a child to benefit from therapy, it’s also important that their parents/ guardians are working through their own mental health issues.
Along with food, clothing, and shelter, a child’s basic needs also include a healthy relationship with their parent/ guardian.
As a parent, if you’re too overwhelmed to be able to spend time with your children, it’s encouraged to reach out for support from your friends, family, or your partner.
Parents should recognize when their children simply want a listening ear, you don’t always have to give them advice or teach them a lesson.
The process of teaching and learning can go both ways in a parent-child relationship.

Desiree’s Self-Care Looks Like:
Spending time with her cats.

Venting about her feelings.

Meditating before bed.

Working out.

Taking weekend trips.

Trying new restaurants.
