How can I avoid passing my own negative childhood experiences on to my children?
You are very wise to consider this issue when it comes to raising your own kids. When we have been traumatized as children, we can unconsciously reenact these experiences with our children, even if we are working as hard as we can to avoid it.
I would suggest working with a therapist who specializes in childhood trauma issues to explore whether there are still unhealed areas from your past that could impact your parenting abilities.
