And a lot of kids do have this

this empathy and this worldview where they want to make some impact.

And so they may find themselves even with a degree in their hands thinking, I don't think I'm going to make any impact with this, or I don't think I'm going to make any enough money to take care of myself with this.

So I still need help, you know?

So parenting is becoming, if not a life sentence, certainly a longer sentence than I think we were led to believe when we had kids in the first place.

I love your, your initial thought.

What is the work they need to do on themselves?

So, um, sometimes we are, uh, all of us blind to what is driving us and what impact our behavior is having on the people around us.

So, um,

I've worked with and known many parents and I've been the parent at times that felt a need to be needed in a certain way in the life of my child, you know, or in the life of our children.

And so we may unwittingly at times.

create a sense of disempowerment or a lack of ability in our kids.

I talk a lot about the vibe we set in our home and the messages we give our kids about themselves.

And sometimes it is

a handy feeling for a parent to have to feel, I'm necessary.

My child, this particular child just doesn't have the internal strength or the wherewithal to make it in the world on his or her own.

So I'm necessary here.

I'm going to be necessary in their lives for a very long time.

And we create unwittingly, I think sometimes, and unconsciously a role for ourselves over the long term

Where we're not necessarily considering like maybe I should redefine what my role is in the life of my child and consider what my life is about.
