Perfectionism in parenting is more than just high standards—it’s a deeply ingrained cycle passed down through generations. In this episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, transformational life coach and behavioral expert Diane Sorenson reveals how perfectionism shaped her own parenting and how a life-changing moment with her teenage daughter forced her to break the cycle.

We dive into:
How perfectionism and generational trauma influence parenting styles
✅ Why many parents unknowingly recreate the same toxic patterns they grew up with
The fine line between teaching necessary life skills and imposing limiting beliefs
How to shift from controlling your child’s behavior to leading with connection
Practical mindfulness, journaling, and self-awareness techniques to become a more conscious parent

Whether you’re a parent struggling with perfectionism, control, or emotional triggers, this episode will give you the tools to break free and parent with confidence and connection.
