This week on SCRATCH THAT, we grapple with some of our inner Boomer-parenting instincts. What if our kids don't "have it as hard as we did"? How do we make sure we raise them to have scrappy, resilient, creative, trickster energy for the inevitable struggles ahead?

Tune in to hear us:

⛈️ Name our particular parenting triggers.

🧳 Unpack the actual legacy of some of our early childhood struggles.

💪 Uncover the deep, troubling belief that struggling makes you real and valid.

🧶 Describe the difficulty in watching our kids struggle without intervening.

⚙️ Imagine building resilience in ordinary moments of friction and frustration.

🪡 Recognizing the moments we feel triggered as places that need tending within us.

We would love to hear from you! What are the stories you tell yourself about your own difficult childhoods? How does that story shape the way you show up to the world/your own children now? What ways do you find the most effective for building resilience/scrappiness now?
