Rupture & Repair: Therapeutic Parenting for Children with Trauma
Becoming a new parent changes EVERYTHING. Gareth, a single foster dad to three children, shares his unfiltered journey into parenting kids with early-life trauma and how it reshaped his life. He explains why trauma is relational, how healing happens through relationships, and why therapeutic parenting focuses on repair over punishment. This is a must listen for all parents about how you don't need to be perfect, you just need to relate.
Key takeaways include the power of adult-led, fast, authentic repair, choosing “time in” over “time out,” balancing structure with flexibility, and learning from triggers. Practical, hopeful guidance for carers and parents supporting children who’ve experienced trauma.
