Are Your Parenting Method is Good?
We, as mankind, enjoy judging and evaluating everything, especially ourselves. When looking at how I parent, I find out that the faint sound in my mind keeps asking if what I did is right or not.
If you’re wondering if you do this, a very fast way to tell is by observing how much you are judging whether other parents are doing it “right”.
We always judge ourselves in the same times where we are judging others. E.g., if you see a crying child in a storehouse, what is the conversation you’re having about them in your head. Is it something like, “Can not they keep their child?”(Implying they’re parenting “bad”) or “What a bad kid, they should be bad parents.”(Again…they are “wrong”) or “That bad mom, boy do I realize.”(Shows compassion and understanding) The conversation that you’ve in your head is an indication of the same way you feel about your own parenting.
Here is the thing, there’s no right or wrong way to parent. What may work for me, may not work for you. And just because it works for me, don’t think that it’s the “right way”. It just means it’s the right way for me.
You would like to notice, areas in parenting where you’re brooking. It perhaps around getting your kids to eat, or potty training or taking naps. If you’re suffering, you’ don’t get the “right way” for you yet. If this is the case, this is where you are able to do your research to see what has been working for other parents and then apply them.
Once you understand that there’s no “right way, there’s only my way, your way, her way and his way, none of which is better than the other.
