E48. Navigating Parenting Emotions and Behaviours | Dr Siggie Cohen

We concentrate so much time on educating ourselves about pregnancy and birth during this precious time and then ‘boom’ we dive into the world of parenting and caring for a new baby. It is no secret that navigating this new life is challenging and amazing in equal measures. Becoming a parent is such a huge change and there are many heightened or new emotions and behaviours to be navigated. I am super excited to chat with this week’s expert guest Dr Siggie Cohen who is a expert in the field of parenting. For more than 35 years, Siggie has worked extensively with thousands of children and families, first as a teacher and then as a child developmental specialist. Her approach has proven successful in helping parents and teachers deepen their understanding of children’s behaviours, so they can support them through the entire range of emotional challenges, including behavioural difficulties, transitions and trauma. Siggie and I discuss parenting anxiety, navigating the whirlwind of parenting changes and the all too common mum-guilt. For more fantastic content by Siggie check her out on Instagram @dr.siggie.
