Workshop Summary:
In this work, we focus a lot on how our childhood experiences influence the development of neuroplastic symptoms. But we don’t really talk about the role that parenting plays. In this talk two providers in this field will share their own unique parenting experiences with their children with special needs, and how this has influenced their care. We will also discuss parenting from as “preventative“ standpoint. Finally, we will outline parenting styles throughout the years, and how this influences their children’s personality traits, adaptive and maladaptive strategies and contribution to development of neuroplastic symptoms.
Learning Objectives:
- Learners will be able to describe 2-3 parenting styles/philosophies associated with different generations (eg. baby boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Y).
- Learners will be able to identify 3-4 current parenting styles and practices that may still be harmful and contribute to personality trait development the leads to neuroplastic symptoms
- Learners will be able to list a 3-4 "gentler" parenting practices that parallel the tools we use to help patients recover from neuroplastic pain.
