In this episode, Jenny Brown introduces a title for the Parent Hope Project's parenting approach. Part one of this series asks the question: Is this just another parenting style with a whole lot of techniques?
Part two will explore what this approach looks like beyond the parent-child relationship, extending into the parenting partnership.
Differentiation-Based Parenting, rooted in Bowen family systems theory, emphasises the value of parents becoming more self-aware while maintaining a non-anxious connection with their children. Unlike most parenting approaches, which focus primarily on childrenâs needs and vulnerabilities, this approach encourages parents to cultivate emotional space by focusing on managing themselves.
This allows both the parents and their children to develop independently while simultaneously fostering a loving relationship. By recognising their own emotional triggers and responses, parents can avoid being overly influenced by their childrenâs moods and behaviours, promoting clearer communication and problem-solving. This parenting stance supports a healthier family dynamic, enabling children to grow as unique individuals who can learn to manage their emotions and challenges, ultimately leading to more resilient and independent young people.

In this episode, the tables are turned again as Vicki Wilkins, the Parent Hope Project Professional Programs Coordinator, interviews Dr. Jenny Brown. They discuss the topic of limit setting and responding to children's misbehaviour.
Does the family systems approach recognise that parenting involves responding to childrenâs misbehaviours? This question seems to come up so much at parent events and in our parents' hope for professional training â It speaks to parent uncertainty about what their leadership involves with so much conflicting advice out there.
Guest Host-Vicki WilkinsVicki Wilkins is a mother of three primary age children, a Mental Health Clinician & one of the valued members of the Team at the Parent Hope Project.
Interviewee & Regular Host of the Parent Hope Podcast- Dr Jenny Brown
Dr Jenny Brown has worked in child, couple, and family health since the 1980s, focusing on child and adolescent mental health and the crucial role of parental involvement in treatment. Throughout her career, Jenny has observed and researched how easily parents can lose confidence in their strengths and wisdom, often stepping aside to let experts address concerns about their children. Her extensive clinical and research work based on Bowen family systems led to a profound realisation: children do best when their parents and carers have self-awareness and clarity in their roles rather than just trying to fix their child.
Driven by this insight, Jenny developed the Parent Hope Project. The project reflects her commitment to empowering parents, enabling them to effectively nurture their childrenâs mental health. This approach is grounded in her depth of understanding of family therapy, particularly Dr Murray Bowenâs family systems theory.

In this Episode Jenny and Guest Michelle Varcoe discuss tantrums, sleep issues and exhaustion - staying steady (enough) during the early parenting years.
Michelle brings her insight into what she sees as the main challenges in trying to stay steady in these very intense, exhausting parenting years.
Michelle Varcoe is a mother who is just coming up for air from the early parenting years. She is a seasoned mental health clinician, one of the specialist Parent counsellors at the Parent Hope Clinic in Sydney https://thefsp.com.au/parent-programs/.
She is particularly aware of the unique role that parents/carers play in the support of a young person, but also the unique anxieties and concerns that are inherent in the demanding role of parenting. She has seen how these anxieties increase alongside the concern for a young person who is deeply struggling with their mental health. As such, she is committed to working with parents in a non-judgemental, empathic approach that supports parentsâ self-efficacy and resourcefulness as they continue the enriching challenges of parenthood. Michelle is committed to the learning process, maintaining curiosity and continuous thinking, and is currently studying the Advanced Certificate of Couple and Family Systems Therapy through the Family Systems Institute (due to complete in 2024). She has also presented her thinking around application of theory to practice at conferences alongside her colleagues.

In this episode we will discuss an important finding from Bowen family systems theory: parents can detour our troubles onto our children. This is described as parents projecting the worry onto the offspring.
Dr Carrie Collier will help us to think about this issue and address our build up of worry about children.
How to make sense of the way issues in broader family relationships can increase a worry focus on children.How issues with our siblings, cut-offs with parents, or the death of a parent/grandparent can play out in our parenting.How a narrow focus on parenting techniques misses these important family issues.Hear more from Dr Carrie Collier:
Finding a Self in Parenting: When a parent is concerned about a child, itâs easy for anxiety to take over. An anxious focus on a child can make it difficult for a parent to access their best thinking, or to observe the larger family system and their role in it. In this edition of Family Matters, Dr. Carrie Collier shares her thoughts about how a parent can begin to take responsibility for their emotional reactivity in response to a parenting challenge. She discusses what it takes to shift oneâs focus from solving a childâs dilemma to managing oneself in the midst of chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpOaOFnHOqEhttps://www.thebowencenter.org/faculty-bios/carrie-collierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpOaOFnHOqEhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anzf.1491Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter

The Summer Theme - Parents promoting responsible, age-appropriate independence & avoiding futile power struggles.
These themes are relevant, whatever the age of your child.Adolescents present unique challenges for parents. For example, the reactive push for independence can be triggering for parents. In this podcast, Jenny reveals how parent efforts to correct behaviours can inadvertently reinforce a conflict cycle that can fuel a teen's physiological reward system: (sensation seeking). An overview of adolescent brain development makes sense of this reward system.

In this podcast, Jenny Brown interviews Susy Lee, prize-winning author, speaker, and educator. They discuss Susy's prize-winning book 'Raising Kids Who Care: Practical Conversations for Exploring Stuff That Matters, Together'.
Susy writes:
'In our complex world, we need to be aware of looming pitfalls and be intentional in helping kids navigate their way to compassion and wonder, driven by values and purpose.' This path of conversations leads to amazing hope.
In this conversation, Jenny explores Susy's thoughts on how parents can influence the development of a kind and caring child without making a change project out of the child.
Susy writes that 'children primarily learn ethical behaviour by watching their parents.' Jenny asks her what she thinks is the impact of what parents care about and how they live out.Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter
