Speaker: Dr. Gabor Maté Source: Why You Feel Lost in Life: Dr. Gabor Maté on Trauma & How to Heal | The Mel Robbins Podcast We've all heard that phrase about siblings a million times: "how did you grow up in the same house and end up being so different?" This is something I haven't thought too much about, but it makes a lot of sense. Even with my two kids - both under six - I see massive differences in tempermants and personalities. As a parent, I definitely responded differently, particularly in the early years, to my first child than I do my second. The first was young during the COVID years, and life was generally much different. And as new first time parents, we were pretty cautious with her, particularly when COVID first came about and little was known about it. We also moved homes right before the second was born.
