How can we talk about co-regulation with mums without inadvertently creating this benchmark that they need to be regulated all of the time, given that the very system of motherhood is very dysregulating?
15:25
Yeah, I have a lot of feelings about this.
15:26
And I think like social media can be such a beautiful resource in that it gives parents so much more access to information that previous generations did not have access to.
15:36
But I think that's a double-edged sword.

And I think as well, it was a bit of a double edged sword having the information I knew I had going into motherhood.

So like I'll give you an example.

When he was born, he was a four set assisted delivery.
6:12
And so instead of being like, oh, my God, my baby's here, he's safe, like he's in my arms.
6:16
All I could think of was like the research behind forcep deliveries and like the link to ADHD.

And again, yes, I've got hard kids, but I was obviously giving them something that they were feeding off during those rushed kind of windows.
