Are you parenting from fear?

And what makes fear-based parenting so relatable and so sneaky is that it creates the exact dynamic that we're trying to avoid. It creates more stress. It creates more fear, less connection. It creates more distance between you. Afraid they will never become responsible, we take over and then they never practice it. So then they're not becoming responsible. Afraid they're gonna fail, we rescue, we Say it's the other person's fault. We keep them from failing. They never experience, they never build resilience. Afraid that something's going on and we push and we push because we want them to talk to us and then they retreat more and more. And so again, I call these out because I see these a lot and there's nothing that makes your family weird and all hope is lost. It is simply a pattern and patterns can change.
