Let's make "𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂" the default — especially with parents in the trenches.

If you find yourself triggered by, wanting to control, or being critical of the choices others make for themselves and their families, this is less likely a reflection of how they are doing and moreso a signal of your own inner work to do.

Let's assume everyone is doing their personal best at all times and always 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.

You don't have to be a perfectly zen parent to set your children up for a healthy future. Children 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 to see others stumble (and overcome) to learn how to navigate similar emotional, relationship, and life challenges they will face. Knowing this, we can relax a bit more into our imperfect humanness and even feel *hopeful* when our own mistakes create a teaching opportunity for our children.

Think about your child's presence like an 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳 to help you be more intentional about your own practice of repair and perseverance in the form of healthy problem-solving, self-talk, support-seeking, and apologies. Even when your mistake directly impacts your child, your relationship can be preserved and positive learning can still take place. If done with humility and reliable follow-through, your child will remember your heartfelt apology and commitment to growth much more than your grumpy parent moment itself.

Once you learn how to 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 emotions and address them at their root, they won't have to "shout" as loudly or as often.
