Six Needs of Every Child :: Amy and Jeffrey Olrick [Ep 322]

Published: April 12, 2021, 5:30 a.m.

As moms we are often looking for parenting formulas and quick fixes to solve our latest parenting problems. When they are babies, following formulas for sleeping and eating makes sense, but as they get older and their needs change it gets a lot more complicated.\xa0

\n

We often turn to friends and mentors for advice, but that doesn\u2019t always work or what works for one of our kids doesn\u2019t for another and it can make us feel lost.\xa0

\n

Jeffrey Olrick, Ph.D. and his wife Amy Olrick join me to share a different way to interpret our kids needs using some practical tools and the science of connection. They offer an alternative question to \u201cWhat do I do?\u201d, asking instead: \u201cHow can I be with this child?\u201d. They go through the six needs of every child and a helpful compass to help you find your way when it gets challenging.

\n

\u201cI think some of it is a fear that we have parents. If we lose the trail for even a moment that our children will be put in imminent danger. And we want to set parents free from that and say, no, actually that's actually going to be pretty normal to lose the trail. But you are still together and you're going to find your way back to firm footing with these six needs.\u201d

\n

This approach is teaching me a lot in my own parenting and I know it will help you on your parenting journey. To learn more from the Olricks, check out their podcast!
