#335 Sense of Self and Parenting

Having a strong sense of self is so valuable in our parenting journey.  It allows for us to have healthy, strong, and beautiful relationships with our children, where a struggling sense of self breaks down our relationships and actually creates more struggle with our sense of self.  The work we do to develop our sense of self will allow us to have better boundaries with our adult children and also stop people-pleasing in an effort to earn their love and acceptance.  This strong sense of self empowers us to honor their agency and not feel threatened or insecure when they choose paths that we weren't anticipating.  We just can't go wrong with a healthy sense of self.
