Attachment in the teen years can be challenging to navigate. As a child transitions to adolescence, their primary attachment with caregivers now shifts to peers.
They reach for autonomy and freedom, some of which they are not ready for.
Parents must balance giving just enough but not too much freedom, modeling interdependence and relationship health…setting the child up for success instead of hard life lessons. If there’s been an attachment trauma, or other trauma, this will impact the parent-child relationship in ways that can exacerbate mental health challenges. The transition of the teenage years can then become complicated.
You’ll learn to:
Discover ways that parents can encourage appropriate autonomy seeking
Heal attachment trauma if it is present
Help children to understand the shift in attachment taking place during the teen years
Explain interdependence versus independence
Implement interventions to use with teens and families to promote healthy attachment and avoid attachment ruptures!
青少年時期的依戀可能難以駕馭。隨著孩子進入青春期，他們與照顧者的主要依戀現在轉移到同齡人身上。他們追求自主和自由，其中一些他們還沒有準備好。父母必須平衡給予足夠但不要太多的自由、塑造相互依賴和關係健康……讓孩子為成功而不是艱難的生活課程做好準備。如果存在依戀創傷或其他創傷，這將以可能加劇心理健康挑戰的方式影響親子關係。青少年時期的過渡可能會變得複雜。
你將學會：
發現父母可以鼓勵適當的自主尋求的方法
如果存在附件創傷，請治愈它
幫助孩子了解青少年時期發生的依戀轉變
解釋相互依賴與獨立
實施干預措施以與青少年和家庭一起使用，以促進健康的依戀並避免依戀破裂！
