The Parenting You Need Now

More than lip service to correcting your mistakes ~ this is living the promise of change that fosters healing and unparalleled growth.

The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 81

 

How Do You Parent?  Do you parent the way you were parented or do you reach for something better?

 

 

The biggest takeaway from this episode is twofold: First who you are is how you will parent.

 

Second, if we say all of the 'right' things after an explosive reaction - with good intentions to repair and resolve - have we?

If your behaviour as a parent never changes - it becomes a tired expression of 'I'm sorry' I did this bad thing and I'll do better. However, your actions need to support your words or the repair you intended is really you giving lip service to what you know you should be doing differently.

 

I want to address both of these areas - giving you the practical means for how to break a cycle in which you continue to do the same.

Naming your inappropriate behaviour and apologizing is important. I'm so glad that we are hearing this message for parents from clinicians - however it is needing something more.

 

Naming your mistakes the beginning. You then need to show up being different again and again.

 

When you reach for real healing it is more than lip service because haling involves listening, feeling empathy and remorse and the clear understanding of how you hurt someone and what feels and looks like from their perspective.

 

Your child may be able to articulate all of their experience and feelings but you can ask them to try. How did my reaction, my words, my hurtful behaviour impact you? How did it make you feel? When you recall this experience, what thoughts do you have about it?
