“You’re always … [uncooperative]!”. “You never … [pick up your clothes]. How many times a day do you find yourself saying or thinking these kinds of things about your kids? Or these kinds of things about yourself: These are examples of what communication experts call dis-empowering language: negative thoughts or words we may take for granted as part of our everyday vocabulary. It’s a type of language that leave us feeling more like pawns in someone else’s game, rather than masters of our own destiny. Often when we use dis-empowering language, it’s a direct reflection of dis empowered feelings we may have, which commonly arise under stress. Although the statements above might seem harmless, dis-empowering language can have a profound effect on the feelings and behaviors of our children and ourselves.

Parenting as a leader means developing the leader in you and overcoming your own worries about your child’s future to empower them to  to learn and grow through challenges. As a child becomes a teenager, it is natural and important for them to try things on their own, if parents are too involved, it's difficult for the child to develop decision making skills, independence and/or find their own interests and passions.

When mothers are willing to take a compassionate and honest look at their relationship with their own mothers, it creates awareness, around dysfunctional patterns that may have been passed down. Without that awareness, women will often parent "in resistance" to the way they themselves were mothered ("I will never treat my daughter the way my mother treated me," or "I'm doing the opposite of what my mother did"), and this can have unintended consequences. Being willing to look within, understand, honor ourselves and our experiences is one of the most powerful things we can do. Modeling that process for our daughters is critical to raising them to be powerful girls.
