Episode 114 - The Perfection Myth: Why Imperfection is Inevitable in Aware Parenting

Welcome back to another episode in the series about embracing imperfection in aware parenting. In this episode I talk about why it is so hard to be trying to shift so much in parenting in just one generation. I talk about how our own childhood experiences and cultural conditioning effect who we are as parents and how we feel about ourselves. I talk about what we would have needed to receive as children ourselves in order to be able to be "perfectly" parenting now. I talk about some of the things that we need to be receiving and experiencing now as parents in order to be find it easier to offer aware parenting. I offer lots of phrases that you might find helpful to bring more compassion and acceptance of yourself. I offer words of celebration and acknowledgement for all the things you ARE doing to support your child with more awareness and love and why they are all so powerful for your child, yourself, your family and the world.
