Do you ever find yourself saying things to your child that you instantly regret? Do you worry that your own upbringing is negatively influencing your parenting? Today,, I talk with Helen, a mom who's caught in a cycle of saying hurtful things to her son, often mirroring the way her own mother treated her. We explore the powerful connection between our childhood experiences and our parenting triggers. I offer strategies for breaking free from these patterns, including journaling to process past hurts and reprioritizing connection over academic pressure.
We also discuss practical ways to shift the homework dynamic, focusing on fostering a love of learning and empowering children to take responsibility for their own work. It's about creating a supportive environment where kids feel loved and capable, regardless of their grades. If you're ready to break free from negative parenting patterns and create a more positive and connected relationship with your child, this episode is for you.
