One of the biggest fears I had when starting a family was, how can I create a healthy family when I hadn’t been brought up in one. 

If you have not dealt with the issues you have grown up around there can be residual anger that you let out on your child. Or you can end up overcompensating for the things you have lost in your childhood and smother your child. 

I am so grateful to God for allowing me to work through my issues and be able to pivot when needed, apologize, and be open to learning new techniques.

Be honest with what is swirling around from your childhood.

Don’t be afraid to show love, even if it wasn’t shown to you. You can change the generations by being different. 

Let your kids know you have their back always…no matter what. Life will throw you curves you can even imagine, trust that God will be walking with you through it all.
