225: Raising Kids from The Adult Chair
\u201cHelp! I think I\u2019ve ruined my kids\u2019 lives!\u201d
I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve heard this from clients, listeners and even my own inner critic. No one gets a trial run at parenting, which leads to a lot of self-doubt among parents. We\u2019re all learning as we go, and it\u2019s easy to wonder if we\u2019re doing it right or if we should just go ahead and start a therapy fund for our kids to work through the issues we created.
Well, this episode is here to help you put your fears to rest and help you become the healthiest (NOT perfect) parent you can be. I\u2019m breaking down my seven tips for healthy parenting from your Adult Chair (hint: they\u2019re more about you than your kids) and hopefully providing a little reassurance that you\u2019re normal and no, you haven\u2019t ruined your kids lives (wait until you hear the not-so-proud parenting moments I share!).
