@thechrishinton: Most parents think their job is to protect their children. I think our job is to prepare them. Confidence isn’t built by removing every obstacle—it’s built by discovering you’re stronger than you thought you were. The greatest gift we can give our children isn’t a perfect life. It’s an internal compass they’ll still trust long after we’re gone. #parentingtips #selfleadership #confidence #personalgrowth #mindsetshift
I have 5+ account trying to tell me they are you! 😞

Chris, thank you for sharing this - I wish someone had told me this about 15 years ago. As an empath and nurturing momma, i've been learning it on my own...the hard way. The thing you said that really resonated with me was "the greatest gift we can give our kids is not protection, but helping them build an internal compass that they'll still trust long after we're gone." Kinda like "give a man a fish" vs. "teach a man to fish." I want my grown children to implement that with their own families, that's healthy! 🥰

So true. We must let our children fail, so they can then learn from that to succeed.

One of the hardest “lessons” I’ve had to learn in parenting, is to be able to sit with being uncomfortable.

I will never stop being a positive role model for my children. When they are going down the wrong path they need someone to show them a better way to handle situations. Our children look to us (Mom and Dad) as to what a relationship should look like and often repeat those patterns so it in essence is our responsibility to give them a good example to follow. Just my opinion

How I wish I would have known this 30 years ago. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t know either. The upside is that I’m still a parent, and I’m becoming a better human.

Enmeshment and triangulation, creates resentment and entitlement at some point. We grow through struggle. Not when all is well. Throw out options with consequences instead. It’s love and logic parenting. Tossing the issue back in ther lap and not resolving it builds that memory of “ can do it”. It’s a story to look back at and say” I can handle this too”. That builds resilience. Enmeshment builds cowards and the inability to self regulate themselves or their own nervous system. Lands on needing parentification for life. Zero boundary recognition. By the time they hit 40 they look around at others and feel they lost the whole game of growth in life. Enabling is emotional stunting.
