Please take a second and read and share. It could possibly make a difference in a child or two.❤️
A letter to our children, you are enough.
If your grades aren’t perfect, those grades don’t define you
If you miss an opportunity to score at a game, it’s not life or death
If you choose the wrong college course, you can change your mind
If you meet a person who’s not right for you, you can move on
If you make unhealthy choices, there is room for growth
Here’s the truth, everyone is doing the best they can with what they’ve got at the time.
To the parents, let’s look at your intention.
You likely want the best for your kid.
Something better than you’ve had yourself.
But at what cost?
How about telling your child they are enough and what you WANT for them is to show up and do their best because THAT is ALWAYS enough.
The are worthy of greatness but on their own terms.
A friend said to me the other day, “Do you know how many people I’ve coached out of perfect?”.
It gave me pause for thought.
This is what I do too, all the time and with 99% of my clients.
Most of us carry a feeling of not being enough which likely goes all the way back to childhood.
Teachers, coaches, dance instructors, family criticizing while they think that’s what the role requires in order for us to try harder.
Coaching from the sideline, while we’re already giving it all we’ve got that day.
Stop it.
Let it be.
And in the car on the way home, how about asking the kid if they had FUN instead of telling them everything they did “wrong”, according to you. 🤷♀️
Let’s rethink how we raise our kids.
Clarity in expectation.
“I expect for you to do your best and that is always enough.”
Happy Friday everyone.
You are all Enough.
