Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
No matter how well we try and prepare for parenting, this role does lots to point out what feel like failings. We might not be able to comfort our kids as we imagined we would, we might find ourselves yelling, or stressed and in moments of complete overwhelm.
This happens to all of us from time to time. Even child therapists, teachers and nannies and child carers can find themselves lost in handling their parenting challenges with their own kids.
This week on the podcast Elle and Abigail talk about why.
Why You Don't Always Have the Right MapAnd the answer is simple: You can't give what you didn't have.
When we butt up against something in our parenting it's most often because there are gaps from our own childhoods when it comes to that challenge.
If you weren't allowed to cry, how can you know how to listen well when your child cries. If your parents were permissive, how can you set effective limits? If your parents shouted at you, how do you learn how not to yell, even when you really want to?
Finding new ways to handle these challenges can feel incredibly hard when you have no past reference to get you there. No guide, no roadmap, no community, no support.
Why You Can't Give What You Just Didn't Have: Finding and Filling the GapsThis week, Elle and Abigail tell stories about the gaps they found in their parenting and they show you how you can pinpoint what you didn't get in your childhood and how to change it.
Because if there's one thing we do know, once you parent the way want, intentionally, you imprint a whole new set of skills to your children to use in life and as parents.
If you have stressors in your parenting and aren't sure how to find new, workable ways to deal with them join us this week talking about why you can't give what you didn't have.
