Episode notes

“Becoming a parent provides us with this unique opportunity to really get to know ourselves.”

My First Five Years app co-founders Alistair Bryce-Clegg and Jennie Johnson are joined by Dr Emma Svanberg (the Mumologist), clinical psychologist and author of Parenting for Humans, to find out how to parent the child you have as the person you are. In this fascinating discussion, you’ll hear why parenting can bring up so many of our own emotions as parents, how to recognise your automatic stress response, ways to find calm in the moment, and why slowing down might be the best thing you can do as a parent.
