b'Ever get red-hot angry at your child for no reason, or out of proportion to the incident that provoked it? Have you wondered why this happens?\\nThe way we were parented has a profound impact on us \\u2013 it\\u2019s pretty easy to \\u2018fall into\\u2019 parenting the way you were parented yourself unless you specifically examine your relationship with your parent(s) and how it impacts the way you parent your own child. This can be great if you have a positive relationship with your parents, but for those of us with less-than-amazing relationships with our parents, trauma can impact more of our parenting that we might like.\\nJoin me for a conversation with https://www.stonehill.edu/directory/rebecca-l-babcock-fenerci/ (Dr. Rebecca Babcock-Fenerci) from Stonehill College in Massachusetts, who researches the cognitive and interpersonal consequences of child maltreatment, with the goal of understanding factors that can increase risk for or protect against the transmission of abuse and neglect from parents to their children.\\nEven if you were not abused or neglected as a child, you may find that aspects of the way you were parented have left you with unresolved trauma that you could pass on to your child if it remains unaddressed. Dr. Fenerci helps us to examine some of the ways we can recognize the impact of this trauma on ourselves, and reduce the possibility that we will transmit it to our child.\\nReferences\\nAuerhahn, N.C., and Laub, D.
