Description

In this episode, I discuss the journey of parenting. I share three lessons to help you navigate the tumultuous waters of raising kids. This is a thoughtful guide, not a rulebook, or a playbook. Your parenting is as unique as your own fingerprint. You bring your values, your experiences, and your skills to the table.  We are often combining our parenting styles with the other parent. It can be a lot. I share three truths and myths of parenting that offer you food for thought, suggestions and ideas for your own parenting. This episode can be helpful for parenting littles to parenting young adults or grown adults with kids of their own. Our love for our kids takes on different shapes as their needs change. Here are three ways to show up better as a parent and to make the ride a little less bumpy.

Keypoints:

1. Truth: Parenting is adding drops in the bucket daily. 
Myth: Parenting is not just the big events like birthdays and vacations.

2. Truth: Parenting is living for our kids. 
Myth: Parenting is not living through our kids


3. Truth: As parents, we are role modeling.
