Being Unskilled

When was the last time you were bad at something? How do you feel when you are in that kind of situation? The truth is that the only way to get good at something is to first be bad at it, and that is very uncomfortable for so many of us. It's so important that we do some work around that discomfort for two huge reasons: First, as parents, we start out bad at parenting simply because we've never done it before. If we want to get good at it, we need to be comfortable with being bad at it and work through that learning curve. And secondly, as kids, our children are by definition bad at pretty much everything in life because they've never done it before! If we can't accept the stumbles and ineptitude that are inherent in our children's growth process, we wind up transmitting that discomfort with learning right onto the next generation. Listen to this week's podcast to explore changing your feelings around learning curves and how to transmit that healthier attitude to our kids. And if you're ready to look into implementing these ideas in your own life, set up a free Discovery Call and let's see if we're a good fit! https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall
