“It’s not about control, it’s about knowledge and experience.” -Dr. Siggie Cohen


This is the final episode in the relationship series for 2021! We have learned about your relationship to yourself, romantic relationships and friendships. Now we will learn about the differences in the parent-child relationship. Parenting is a journey and it presents many challenges, but it is also a space for tremendous growth for you and your child. I invited Dr. Siggie Cohen to talk to us about this beautiful relationship that evolves over time because she is an expert in this area. Some of the things she said surprised me and presented me with a new perspective.

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have a conversation with Dr. Siggie Cohen about the parent-child relationship.

We discuss:

  • How parent-child relationships differ from other relationship types

  • How parent-child relationships change over time

  • What typical struggles and challenges these relationships face

  • Why it is important to know about parenting styles and to be mindful about your style

  • How society and culture permeates into relationships

  • How parental shame and guilt affects relationships

  • When you might consider getting professional help

  • What she wishes more parents knew
