Expecting a child to take on the adults' responsibilities is not a healthy home environment. This statement will sting for many of you, but that is a fact.Parentification has been a strong pattern for generations making it a reference for how we must raise our children. It is in fact so strong that parents who are now trying to break this cycle are being ridiculed and judged harshly for being "too soft" with their children.Children should be allowed to be children. In this episode, Danielle walks covers the causes that lead to adults expecting their children to take on the parenting role, two types of Parentifications that we often see, the long term effects parentification has on children once they reach adulthood, and what NOT to tell your eldest child.Everyone will see a bit of themselves and their childhood home dynamic in the topics that are being discussed in this episode.
