4. Humor and Parenting
Tess Connolly and Pasha Marlowe talk about humor and parenting and how to bring this into our daily lives with our tweens and teens.
- Her big reset came with her son getting very sick, physically and emotionally and how she shifted her own energy and a way to get through a very difficult time
- How she started with therapeutic comedy and her program “Roar with Laughter” which includes stories, and hard times and trauma through the lens of humor culminating in a comedy show.
- She gives us an amazing example of how she worked with a mother and teen who found humor with a very difficult subject of suicide
- How important humor is with our kids and how healing it can be
- Ways to be more playful in everyday interactions with our tweens/teens and how to use emojis, your dog, your cat when communicating with them
- Benefits of humor and the brain
- The importance of asking specific questions when asking about your tween/teens day
- Time + Trauma = Comedy
- Humor is a skill that can be learned and it’s all about connection with your tween/teen
