Ep 154: Be the Soft Landing

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being “too soft” on your kids, consider this episode your permission to stop worrying. Think about what you want your relationship with your kids to look like when they’re adults. Do you want them to call when they’re struggling, include you in their lives, and let you know their real selves? That starts now with how safe you make it for them to be human in your presence.Most of us have been told that we need to toughen our kids up for the real world–that if we don't challenge them, they'll be weak. But what if being soft is actually the strongest thing we can do for them? ​The world will challenge your kids plenty. When they can come to you with their failures without fear of judgment, and feel valued even when they’re imperfect, the refuge you provide is much more valuable than any “lesson” you could teach them with your disappointment. Today, we’ll talk about how your fierce love and support are more than enough to raise an amazing human.Click HERE to get the full show notes.
