Let’s talk about Parentification 💛

We often see an older sibling taking on a parent role with a younger sibling.

(Sometimes a child may try to parent you or continue to parent their bio parent at visits, but I am separating these experiences and will make a separate video)

It’s important that we don’t push hard or put up firm boundaries. This is often a survival tool, and we are strangers.

Instead, honor their experiences and walk alongside. Focus on instilling trust and modeling your ability to meet all of the kids needs in the home. Over time, take on more as the parent and allow for opportunities for the parentified child to reconnect with their peers.

⬇️I’ve showcased a few strategies in this video, but please add to this! There is so much we can do to support the kids in our care ⬇️
