Appearances
You know, if somebody was hard,
as a child to achieve.
They may be hands-off like, I don't want to push my child.
I don't want them to have the negative experience I did, but yet maybe they need a little bit of a push.
Or if felt socially ostracized as a child, they may be hyper-focused on making sure their child is popular to the point of really not allowing their child to express their uniqueness or their quirkiness.
So the more we're aware of our hidden motivations based on maybe some early experiences, but even
just influences in the general culture around us, the better we can find that clarity and separate out what our child needs from our own needs.
And we can also feel more in control and in charge of what we're doing and not feel so adrift.
Well, thanks.
And the other thing is just to try to be aware on a daily basis.
You know, like you said, triggers, like what triggers you and doing what you can to prevent it.
Like if you know that you're coming home from work and you're really stressed and hungry and tired, that's not the time to engage in a battle about homework with your child.
You know, you need to chill out a little bit, calm down, get something to relax.
And then maybe you'll have the resources.
So it's being attuned to your own resources and what you can do, what works in any given situation.
And again,
In the book and in general, what I encourage people is to look at ways that they can understand themselves better through self-reflection, through questions about where did this idea come from?
How much do I value it?
How helpful is this idea or this approach based on what our family needs or what my child needs or what I need?
And to just be more clear, it is, like you said, an ongoing process.
