The Power of Connection: Dr. Jessica Black on Parenting Through Addiction

Children are going to remember how you made them feel...because of those moments that no child you know comes home from school and says: I got to play with this, you know really high-tech toy Today.
Imagine a world where the most impactful thing you can give your child isn't a shiny new toy or the latest gadget, but your undivided attention and love. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Most Important Work', clinical psychologist Dr. Jessica Black dives into the transformative power of simple, everyday moments between parents and children. Drawing from her extensive background in addictive behaviors and psychological trauma, Dr.
Black shares how these small yet meaningful interactions can be the cornerstone in breaking the cycle of addiction within families. Joined by Dana Winters, Ph.D., director of simple interactions and academic programs at the Fred Rogers Center, Dr. Black explores the timeless wisdom of Fred Rogers. They discuss how his teachings can guide parents in having honest and supportive conversations about addiction with their children.
The episode is a touching reminder that what kids remember most isn't the material things but how loved and valued they feel. Whether it's sharing a meal or chatting during a car ride, these moments build a foundation of trust and love that helps children navigate the challenges posed by addiction. Dr. Black's message is one of hope, encouraging parents to believe that they are enough for their children.
If you're looking for practical advice wrapped in warmth and compassion, this episode is a must-listen.
