Recognizing Triggers and Projections in Parenting

Being a parent is a strong spiritual practice for me. I realized that every time I was triggered by my kid, I was actually projecting onto them. If I accused them of being selfish, I realized I was being selfish myself. If I told them to listen, I wasn't listening. Whenever I said they needed to calm down, I actually needed to calm down. It's a constant learning process.
