The Enemy of Good Parenting: Ego
One of the main obstacles to effective parenting is the presence of ego. Examples of parental failings rooted in ego include being unable to accept being contradicted, refusing to admit when one is wrong, trying to impress others, and feeling jealous of one's own children. Ego hinders collaboration, self-improvement, kindness, and success in various areas of life. It not only leads to regrets and projecting one's issues onto others but also affects the wellbeing of the young and vulnerable. To be a good father, it is crucial to constantly question and diminish the ego, prioritize reason, calmness, compassion, and prioritize what is right over personal pride.
