Do you ever feel like you are failing as a parent? Like no matter what you do you just can’t measure up to the parent you want to be? Or maybe you’re working hard at this peaceful parenting thing but just keep falling short or failing to implement the lessons you are learning 24/7. Whatever it may be, this can definitely help.

How to Choose Progress Over Perfection in Parenting – What to do when you feel like you’re failing as a parent…

 

 

With all the great information and examples of parenting the way you desire to out there, do you ever feel like you constantly fall short? Like you’re failing as a parent and just not measuring up?

 

You’ve heard it before, “comparison is the thief of joy.” But, in this information at our fingertips world we are living in, it can be difficult to not fall into the trap of comparing.

 

We can also get discouraged even when we don’t compare ourselves to others but to some ideal version of ourselves that we constantly fail to be. It can feel like a mountain towering over you with SO many areas to work on, and no one is immune (myself included).

 

In this episode, I’ll share the cause of this distress and 3 things to help you overcome it…here’s what you’ll hear:

[4:22] Information overload 📚

[7:43] Check your expectations

[10:30] Breathe with me (bookmark this for later if you’re driving or want to keep coming back for more! 🧘‍♀️)

[12:38] #1 – What to do if you MUST Compare

[15:50] #2 – What we can learn from Warren Buffett

[19:49] #3 – 🎶Celebrate good times, come on! 🎶

 

You can do this, you ARE doing this, treat yourself with compassion and celebrate your wins!

Now look, we’re all tired of the over-inflated results that course creators are flaunting on the interwebs. We’re all suspicious of online courses actually delivering on all their bloated promises. So if you think, “Bah, just another expensive course I don’t need” - I feel you, I do. I take the same wary approach when buying new programs. ⁣

But that’s why I want to share real human beings from all walks of life who have actually been through this course and received meaningful and priceless renewals in their relationships. ⁣

Like Chelsea, who remarked: “When I joined Parent in Love, I was ready to give up on my marriage. Today, my marriage has had a complete overhaul! It's practically a different marriage altogether.”⁣

Or Tanya, who reported: "This course has ABSOLUTELY TRANSFORMED our marriage, our family life, and my own personal growth journey! We still fight, but the fights are fewer and we tend to make up quicker and in front of the kids now!"⁣

And here's what Jonna said: "I have tools that give me hope and I know how to start resolving our conflicts. I have started to notice how my own shift of thoughts changes the whole atmosphere in our home, not only between me and my hubby but with the kids also."⁣

Check out my IGTV for more amazing success stories.⁣

Parent In Love is a 6-month deep-dive online program that will transform your marriage from the inside out. ⁣

Ever find yourself waiting for your partner to change? Sometimes, it feels easier alone. ⁣

As much as you want and need the support - I know sometimes it can just feel easier to run your home on your own. ⁣

No one criticizing. ⁣
No one judging. ⁣
No one commenting. ⁣
No one watching. ⁣
No one adding to your to-do list with their needs.⁣
No one irritating you.⁣

Ah. Bliss. ⁣

But did you ever have these thoughts only to then think: "Yikes! That's not really what I want, is it? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with us!?"⁣

And what has waiting for your partner to change gotten you so far? ⁣

Stop waiting... ⁣

You deserve to have a happy marriage, and your kids deserve to have happy parents. ⁣

And don't wait on your partner, because the Parent In Love program is DESIGNED to be done alone - so that YOU can focus on what YOU can change: yourself.⁣

Your partner will necessarily be affected by the changes you make - because that's how relationships work, we're intertwined like that. ⁣

So TAKE A BREAK trying to change your partner right now, and finally, start to see some real transformation. ⁣

Psst... Your partner doesn't even have to KNOW you're doing the program - not that I'm suggesting you hide this from them, especially if you two are used to discussing financial investments you make - but I DO want you to know that many members have gone through Parent In Love WITHOUT letting their partners know about it. ⁣

And what happened? ⁣

Well, typically their partner would suddenly begin to NOTICE a profound (wonderful!) shift in their relationship and wonder "what's going on?!" ⁣

If you really want to take this program but you're struggling to work through their concerns, especially about the $ investment, I've provided scripts to help you have those important conversations with confidence. ⁣

  1. Thank you so much for this! I had this idea that when my daughter turned four, all of her difficult behavior from toddlerhood would suddenly disappear. There would no more tantrums, and she would become cooperative and calm in the face of disappointment. This, of course, has not been the case. And, I started questioning my parenting ability even more – is peaceful parenting working, are the times I find myself losing my temper, yelling, or showing anger ruining everything. BUT, if I look at how much better (rather than perfect) things are now, I can see the successes, which is immensely helpful. She does tantrum much less often and is cooperative more often. I will take those wins. Thank you for helping me re-frame things!
