The Impact of Cultural Parenting Norms on Child Trauma | Gabor Matè

Dr. Gabor Maté delves into the deep and often unrecognized trauma inflicted on children through cultural parenting norms. In this poignant video, he shares a powerful example of how a simple act, like not feeding a child on demand due to scheduled feeding advice, can send a message of neglect and lack of love, causing confusion and trauma. Maté reflects on the historical influence of figures like Dr. Spock and critiques the loss of intuitive parenting in our culture, calling for a reconnection with natural parenting instincts.
