Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments - A podcast by Michelle Kenney, M. Ed

Are we unwittingly damaging our children by repeating the mistakes of our own upbringing? Today, I'm diving into a question that plagues many of us: Are we ruining our kids? This thought can grip us in moments of frustration and self-doubt. But let me tell you something: You're not alone, and you're definitely not ruining your kids.As parents, we're often held to impossible standards, haunted by our own childhood traumas, and bombarded with societal pressure to be flawless. But here's the truth: It's okay to make mistakes. In fact, it's human. I've been there—I've yelled, lost my cool, and felt like I'm failing. But here's the thing: It's not about being perfect. It's about being willing to grow and change.In this Episode:Embracing imperfection is essential for growthBreaking the cycle of generational traumaCultivating self-compassion in parentingRecognizing the impact of unresolved issuesSeeking help is a courageous step🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?
