Be kind to yourself first.

I am creating a new parenting coaching program and I was hoping you could help me out by answering a few questions.

What are biggest frustrations with parenting your children?

What do feel the most guilty about in the relationship?

Do you wish that your children would be more open with you?

If you could wave a magic wand what changes would you make to
make your relationships with your children better?

Feel free to DM your answers to me directly if you don’t feel comfortable posting on the thread.

I will be offering some free coaching sessions for 4 individuals/ families.

Many parents obsess over their kid’s every move because they worried about their future. I want to give all you parents out there permission to relax because your children are going to be ok. I promise.

I wish I could be half my age with all of the knowledge that I have now. If I would have been able to let go of my feelings of not being good enough and my worries of what people thought I would have been able to be happier. However, one thing I have learned is that my whole life is a process and each challenge was meant to be solved in the time that it is solved. There is not much use in berating myself into thinking I should have become enlightened earlier. Self acceptance comes in the perfect time and not a moment sooner. Always celebrate yourself for who you are in this moment then go on the next. You are a loving and valuable human being and doing. Honor yourself everyday. If you want to have a conversation to help with your journey please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I would definitely tell myself that it is ok to let go of all that s**t from the past and breathe.

Do you thing about your own mortality? A friend told me that her aunt who was in her 80’s died recently. Last week someone I went to high school with died. Every time I hear about someone dying I think I about my own mortality. I have already lived a lot more years than I have left. I think about all of the time I have wasted in my life being in a place in my head that I did not want to be.

As we all have realized during this pandemic life is precious and at anytime it could change in an instant. This is an excellent time to forgive the previously unforgivable and to let go. We are not forgiving for the other persons sake, but for our own peace of mind. I know people that did not make peace with their parents before they died and it is heartbreaking for them. If there are old wounds that can be healed do it now. It does not matter if the other person is willing to receive, all that matters is that we forgive in our hearts.

Now is the time to love like it could be our last day on earth.

Most of us get triggered occasionally from such things as our kids, parents, work relationships, and Covid. Today while walking along the beach I became triggered of what seemed like outnowhere. I witnessed a toddler sitting on boardwalk with his father carrying his little tricycle a few steps ahead. The child was either tired, hungry or clearly had some reason that he felt like he didn’t want to walk. The father said to him something to the effect, like “bye see you later.” I have to admit that I did this also when both my children were little. However, since I have become more aware of how words can hurt us, I am appalled at myself for manipulating my kids in this way.

When I saw this little boy cry my heart just went out to him. I felt so bad as I imagined what feelings of despair he may be experiencing. The trigger brought up such feelings of my own abandonment as a child. If I had to do it again with my own children I would be more patient and not use this manipulation of losing my love so that they would follow my direction. Did doing this hurt my kids in the long run? I do not know. What I can tell you is that I like everyone else did better once I knew better.

It is time to forgive myself for the mistakes I made I while parenting my children. This is a lot easier said that done, but I am a work in progress.

Are you working on forgiving yourself for the mistakes you made parenting your children?

This the time like no other time in history to take the risk to stretch yourself to see how far you can go.

This is a picture of my oldest daughter and me. She is going to be 30 this year. Remember the days are long, but the years are short. Make them count.
