LAUNCH: Parenting Tips for Raising Adult Children & Building Better Relationships
If you’re a parent of a young adult, are these questions keeping you up at night;
How can I become the best parent to my kids? How can I improve my communication with them? How can we connect better? How can I help them to become more confident, resilient and independent? What can I do to motivate them? Why don't they respect me? Why don't they want to hang out with me?
If you're searching for these answers, this podcast is for you. I'm Shari Jonas and this is LAUNCH. Where I offer honest, no BS parenting tips that will help you to raise your adult child with confidence (regardless of whether they're living with you or on their own) and become the best parent you can be.
I address the most relevant, challenging and deeply personal issues that parents are facing with their young adults. Each episode offers real-life stories, research-based strategies, and no BS advice that will help you to become the parent that your adult child ALWAYS turns to, someone they love to spend time and, someone who will guide them to becoming confident, resilient, independent and capable of thriving in the world.
Join me each week as I tell it like it is. No sugar coating. Real talk. Let's face it, parenting can be hard work, especially because we're figuring it out every day. We're learning as we go, and we can always be better. I hope to inspire you, give you the confidence you need to connect with them, and to educate you when you need a little guidance. Sometimes I have amazing guests, other times, it's just me; a Mom of 2 grown kids, who practically raised my children alone. As an educator, author and parenting consultant, I know what it takes to build incredible relationships, while guiding them through life's challenges, and I want to share it all with you.

LAUNCH: Parenting Tips for Raising Adult Children & Building Better Relationships
#56: Understand Your Attachment Style and Become a Better Parent
Have you've ever wondered if your relationship with your parents shaped how you show up as a parent today? If so, you'll find this episode very interesting.
I sat down with Marc Cameron, author of Understanding Your Attachment Style: The Path to Overcoming Unhelpful Patterns and Building Healthy Secure Relationships to explore how parents attachment patterns shape their relationships with their children.
Attachment theory explains how our earliest relationships shape the way we connect, communicate, and respond emotionally throughout life.
In this episode, Marc shares with us that our individual attachment style plays a crucial role in the quality of our relationships and is often the strongest predictor of how secure and connected we feel with others. Yet, many people remain unaware of their own attachment style - let alone how to shift from an unhealthy style to one that fosters safer, healthier, and more fulfilling relationships.
Marc and I talk about the 5 insecure attachment styles and how each one can affect a parent’s behavior. We also explore the concept of attunement and why it plays such a powerful role in connecting with your adult child.
In his private practice, Marc helps clients develop secure emotional connections and greater awareness. He believes that when we understand the root causes of behavior through attachment theory, meaningful growth becomes possible, not only for us, but for our future generations as well.
This conversation will helps parents better understand their own patterns, recognize what may be getting in the way, and learn that is possible to develop a more secure attachment to strengthen the relationship with their children and support them along their path toward independence.
Take the Attachment Quiz to discover how your early life experiences shaped your Love Style and begin working towards a powerful and lasting change.
