My experience is that when you start talking to parents, you'll find that there are very few kids who don't have some kind of "problem".
My friend group has a bunch of parents who had kids in their 20ies, and I don't know of a single kid that doesn't have some kind of "issue".
Also, from talking to a friend who is a therapist for children, she says that with a lot of children in therapy she thinks that it would be better if the parents went to therapy rather than the kids.
- touisteur 4y agoWell yes having kids is a daily trigger for all kinds of childhood trauma. Even with good parents and a caring environment, growing up comes with so many painful, traumatic events, we learn to cope, to live with them, but kids make all of it surface, it can be overwhelming... I'd advise any parent who has a first kid and is feeling all kinds of overwhelming or surprising things, to go and first get desensitised a bit, and then do the work...
