Reflective parenting begins with awareness.
Because of my own difficult childhood I wasn’t sure I wanted to ever be a parent. I was honestly afraid I would screw it up. Still, kids kept showing up everywhere and I took it as a sign that I was called to serve in this way. As an early childhood instructor at Gymboree, I just connected with this idea that kids need to explore their world without putting all expectations on who and how they should be. When they saw their children happy, I noticed how parents too were able relax and shift their interactions with their children almost immediately.
When I married my husband and joined him in parenting his special needs daughter, I discovered how truly important it is to become aware of the constant tango we do between accepting our children for who they are and re-writing our own childhood history.
It’s possible to let go of the mask and show the next generation how to have the courage to thrive and claim their gifts.
Reflective parenting begins with awareness and a vision of who we want to be as parents. It’s also about learning how to set boundaries and letting go of the fantasy of how we thought things SHOULD be. In many ways, it’s about learning to parent yourself first so you can let go of all of the masks, insecurities and doubts that stop you from being the best possible parent.
Instead of talking about changing the world outside ourselves, let’s make a big impact on the future by parenting children who grow up to understand their emotions and aren’t afraid to claim their gifts. When we teach our children that we don’t need to hide behind a mask just to fit in – we empower a future generation with confidence and security.
