How to Stop Seeking Validation as a Parent & Foster Intrinsic Strength in Your Children - EP. 13

from Breathe Easy Parenting · host Catherine Kelly

Are you seeking validation in your parenting? Whether it’s from family, your partner, or even social media, the need for external reassurance can leave us feeling anxious and disconnected from our instincts.In this episode, I share personal stories of when I struggled with validation—like when my son was bitten and no one believed me, or when my child kept looking to me for approval before trusting himself. I also explore how I used to turn to social media and online resources instead of trusting my own parenting intuition.We’ll talk about how to break the cycle, model self-trust for our children, and take small steps toward embracing internal confidence rather than external approval.💛 Let’s continue the conversation!
