Episode notes
Lack of Emotional Guidance
- Society lacks mechanisms for processing complex emotions, leaving individuals to figure them out independently.
- Emotional regulation is learned through relationships, not books, making it difficult for emotionally dysregulated parents to teach their children.
Parenting as Practice
- Parenting, like yoga, is an ongoing practice, not a destination.
- The value lies in the process of continuous learning and improvement, rather than achieving a fixed outcome.
Separate Behavior from Person
- Separate behavior from the person to foster understanding and empathy.
- Recognize that external factors often drive behavior, and addressing those can resolve the issue.
