Okay, friend, let's discuss the pressure of being the "perfect" parent. If you've felt overwhelmed by a toddler’s grocery store meltdown or a teen defying you, this episode is for you. I've been in the trenches, thinking perfect parenting meant perfectly behaved children and would validate me.
Today, I’ll share my journey with perfectionism in parenting, revealing how it harmed my relationship with my kids. My desperation for them to "behave" led to threats, bribes, and yelling, making me feel like a failure. The incredible thing I discovered is that our children need connected parents, not perfect ones. In this episode, we'll explore how shifting focus from controlling behavior to nurturing relationships can transform everything. Letting go of perfection opens us to a more peaceful, joyful, and connected way of parenting.
If you're ready to embrace imperfection and strengthen bonds with your children, this episode might just be the breakthrough you've been searching for.
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
👉 Perfection is unattainable, and not your goal
👉 Connection is your true parenting goal
👉 Perfectionism can breed perfectionist kids
👉 "Good enough" parenting is enough
👉 Relationships take precedence over behavior
👉 My journey from control to connection
