How do YOU truly see YOUR children?

Parents often overthink and intervene in their children's lives out of fear, hindering their children's natural exploration and development. This behavior stems from parents' own past experiences and anxieties, requiring them to 'reparent' themselves to break the cycle and allow their children to discover and experience the world freely. By recognizing and addressing these parental anxieties, we can foster a more supportive and trusting environment for children.

Parenting Anxiety

• 00:00:00 Parents often have a strong desire to protect their children from any harm, leading to overprotective behaviors like helicopter parenting. This anxiety can manifest in constantly intervening in their children's activities and providing constant lessons, preventing them from experiencing their environment freely. Parents often fear the consequences of potential negative outcomes for their children.

Re-Parenting Yourself

• 00:01:13 Parents need to re-evaluate their own parenting experiences and identify any patterns of behavior or beliefs they might be unconsciously replicating with their children. This involves understanding how our own past experiences, like childhood discipline, can affect our current parenting style. By recognizing these patterns, parents can work towards adopting a more mindful and supportive parenting approach.
