289: How To Quit The Kiddie Comparison Trap
We spend a lot of time in the SMA talking about the comparison as it relates to us as women.\xa0But we haven\u2019t really dug into how we compare our kids to other kids.\xa0I\u2019m noticing as Vinnie gets older that kiddie comparison is A THING.\nI think some of the kiddie comparison trap stems from the same place as our own comparison trap: our own insecurities, poor self-worth, self-doubt as women and moms -\xa0and maybe some guilt, too??\nIn this episode, I dig into 5 ways to look at your child\u2019s strengths, struggles, and phases a little differently.\xa0I share ways to focus on the power of perseverance, problem-solving, resourcefulness, and compassion over disparity, weaknesses, and fitting in.\nI also encourage you to work on YOU.\xa0If you\u2019re comparing your child to other children, you might have some Shameless work to do on yourself.\xa0\nLet me know how this episode resonates with you and how you have seen kiddie comparison traps play out in your circles of moms.\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\nThird Love: To find the perfect fitting bra and get 15% off your first purchase got to Third Love\n\n\n\nFabfitfun: To get $10 off your first subscription box (making it only $39.99 for $200 worth of products) go to Fab Fit Fun and use the code SHAMELESS at checkout.\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
