Dr. Gabor Mate on Attachment and Conscious Parenting

[@youtubemom497]

I used Dr.Mates methods for raising my son. EVERYONE criticized me and said my son is too attached to me. now my son is a teen and thriving, very independent and successful. All the people who criticized me have teens who hate them and are vaping and having mental health issues. It’s natural for your small children to be super attached to you, allow them to be.

[@chayanoko5501]

Make total sense. Only we a strong sense of security we can later on roam around the world independently and with gratitude to the people who raised us. A main book or video you recommend to raise a child?

[@mostthegames3723]

I really think that the elephant in the room is money, and scarcity of it for so many parents who struggle to eak out a living. I've been a single mother for 10 years now, but I do feel so thankful that I was able to stay home with my children for 8 years while married. I think that being able to spend that time with my children helped them to Become resilient teens. This is so important to me as o am now working more than I can handle just to pay the bills. At least my children had a good start, although I still worry about them frequently.

[@M.J767]

When I had my daughter I realized what the problem was. It’s this big house I’m living in. It’s too much stuff we have. It’s lot to manage. All I wanted to do is hold her and be with her and someone to bring me food haha. I managed. She is 5 and still sleep next to me. I never put her down and let her scream. She is a lovely, we’ll adjusted little girl. So different from many of her friends. ❤️

Fantastic. Why are most of the western nations ignoring this? This video is up since 2011 and only 40k + views? That is disturbing. I would like to thank Abby Martin and Breaking the Set for introducing me to Dr. Mate.

[@qita0]

I can't agree with him enough.. I grew up lacking a father, not because he was a "bad father", quite the contrary, he was everything our society expects from a father. He worked 10 to 12 hours a day.. On weekends he was too tired and irritated to do anything (I don't blame him). Sure I had a lot of toys when I was a kid but that will never make up for my emotional loss.

[@rhodacampbell]

This is sooo true. I went to a boarding school from age 8 and was effectively brought up by my peers. Thankfully from 13 years old my best friend was the daughter of two teachers so I spent a lot of time with them, feeling supported by loving adults.

[@imechko_familia]

7:50 in russia we have cartoon "smeshariki" (2004-now), it has 9 characters: 2 kids, 2 early teens, 3 adults, 2 elders. This show is soooo deep and genius, it raises mature themes while being infant-friendly and very entertaining - and I think it's party because creators weren't afraid to make half of characters adult. My favorite episode (season 13 episode 7), which are all about 5 minutes btw, is about old man (crow Kar-Karich) and teen boy (sheep Barash) go travelling to find The Meaning of Life (this is kids cartoon, I'm not joking). It's about an old person guiding a young person through period when teens are realizing who they want to be. I don't know any other show like this. I'm so thankful to watch it as a kid.

[@jacquelinegarcia1681]

External gestation for 9 months after birth. Wow. Amazing. I wish every baby was lucky enough to have this start. Wear the babies. Breastfeed the babies. Cosleep with the babies.

[@Dania.q]

I agree with everything except co-sleeping just seems too dangerous in my opinion, and there are multiple studies that say the same.

[@mamigetsreal4503]

Dani I’ve coslept with my son for 2 plus years. Wasn’t something I planned but just happened due to breastfeeding and me following his lead with what his needs were It can absolutely be unsafe but it can also be safe if taken with every single precaution (I barely slept the first year making sure he was safe all night 😫)

I think these days it's better with an owlet or something like that, but I wouldn't want to advise wrong. I try not too, but I often fall asleep with my baby and his little sock

[@jhlfsc]

I am so grateful that our children seem to be turning into lovely people. I can assure you, we didn't pay to have the best of the best of everything for them and certainly my spouse and I are far from perfect, but what we were able to provide for them is the geographic close proximity to both sets of their grandparents, and our siblings and their families as well. Do they drive us crazy sometimes.....yes. However, our children were fortunate enough to feel.a sense of love and security that expanded far beyond just the front door of our house because of it. A child may not care if they upset their parents, but when they have to think about also upsetting their grandparents, Godparents, aunts, uncles and favorite cousins.....sometimes they think twice.

[@31alaana]

I cannot stop listening to DR. Gabor. He is a genius. Being a mom and psychology student I can;t agree more. He is breaking down what psychology of attachment says as well as many research done on attacment in most beautiful way which anyone can understand. I can relate to each an d every words and advice he gave both as a mother and as a psychology student. Read his book HOLD ON TO YOUR KIDS by Gordon Mate. It will blow your mind.

Longtime fan of Dr. Mate. Left out of this very cogent explanation of attachment is a delineation of the deliberate societal pressures (engineered, not accidental) that create generations of dysfunction, fractured families and attenuated lives. The way we are separated from our children is tragic.

[@toomylight2311]

Basically saying it needs to go back to the old way in a lot of cases . Loneliness and isolation for kids and adults is a new disease and this is why . If you can atall do without the luxuries and be at home with your kids cause when your just about ready to stop your kids are ready to go and you will never get that precious time back❤️
