Parental Development

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs we'll ever have. Dr. Leah Featherstone, clinical psychologist, and her sister, Beka Dean both grew up in a very traditional, conservative family, with a parenting style to match. Through her education and experience, Leah has moved away from that approach and now uses principles of attachment, relational neurobiology, and positive parenting to raise her own kids. The sisters talk through this new approach, with the goal of promoting cooperation and enhancing relationships between adults and the children they help to nurture, support, and raise.

January 12, 2022 • Dr. Leah Featherstone & Beka Dean • Season 1 • Episode 18

In this episode, we continue our discussion about attachment, talking through the four different types: Secure, Insecure Avoidant, Insecure Anxious, and Disorganized. Our attachment pattern is with us for life, and influences how we parent our children.

Attachment at its core is about safety, security, and trust, and Leah and Beka talk through how the different styles influence how we view other people and the world and what we believe about ourself! Our conversation moves in to how we support our kids' attachment and what it might look like when they need more from us or are seeking attachment. They often try to get their needs met in different, at times strange ways!
