LAUNCH: Parenting Tips for Raising Adult Children & Building Better Relationships

#17: Breaking the Trauma Cycle: How to Stop Parenting Your Adult Kids Through the Lens of Your Negative Childhood

Shari Jonas - Parenting Consultant, Educator and Author

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself how your own childhood is showing up in your parenting ?

In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about something many parents never pause to consider: the lingering effects of your own unhealed childhood trauma—and how it can quietly impact your relationship with your child, no matter how old they are.

You’ll learn what trauma really looks like (and it shows up in different ways), how to recognize it in yourself, in the way you were parented, and how those unresolved patterns can unintentionally shape your child, and impact your relationship. Even if you love your kids deeply, trauma that goes unacknowledged can lead to distance, miscommunication, and negative cycles that repeat across generations.

We’ll talk about the subtle ways these patterns show up and more importantly, we’ll cover what it takes to break that cycle and start showing up differently—as the emotionally stable parent your child can trust and connect with.

Because let’s be honest—parenting doesn’t end at 18. Your child still needs you. To be strong. To be steady. And to support them, with love and self-awareness, till your very last breath.

You have the power to change the legacy. It’s never too late to become the parent your child deserves.
