"When Mom is a Mean Girl" #ParentingEdition

When Mom is a “mean girl” and She is not even aware of how much damage her behavior affect her child/children
We often talk about bullying among kids, but what happens when the hurtful behavior comes from a parent—especially a mother—without even realizing the damage being done? Today on our Parenting Edition, we're unpacking a tough but necessary topic: When Mom is a ‘mean girl’ at home. It's not always intentional, and often it stems from deep-seated patterns or stress—but the emotional impact on children can be lasting.
Joining us is Thuli Kakaza, a Wellness & Development Consultant specialising in Trauma Counselling | Recipient of the AHEA 2024 Employee Wellness HCP 1st Runner Up Award | 2023 Health Excellence Award Finalist HCP.
To help us explore how unkind parenting behaviour affects children, how to spot the warning signs, and most importantly, how healing and change are possible.
