About this listen
In this episode of Your Parent Coach, I’m joined by Stacey Schaffer — a child, adolescent, and young adult therapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting families through grief, trauma, and anxiety.
Stacey brings both professional insight and lived experience to this conversation, and we talk about what children carry in their bodies long before they have words for it, why behaviour is often a signal (not the problem), and how being “perfect” has never been the goal of parenting.
We also explore why parents don’t need the right words, how presence matters more than advice, and why worrying about your parenting is often a sign that you deeply care. This episode is a reminder that healing happens through humanity, not perfection — and that generational change begins with parents who are willing to show up and listen.
