How many times do we, as parents, try to “mold” our child into being the perfect citizen? Chances are we aren’t trying to mold them, we are trying to manipulate them.

We also often get our “parenting” strategies from what we learned from our parents.

The truth is that parenting isn’t about trying to change your child. If it were, we would call it “children”.

To be a good parent you need to shift your perception, and the first step to that is in what you say. Don’t tell people your kids are trouble or pain in the ass. When you do that, that is how they show up.
