There are many parenting myths, narratives and “beliefs” that are perpetuated by society that are not helpful and actually damaging to our parenting practices. So many untruths are accepted and passed around as fact when the research does not back it up.

Many parents are shocked when I tell them and explain scientifically through neuroscience how their child is not capable of high brain order functions like being manipulative in a relationship. But once they can absorb the science backed explanation they can completely see clearly how untrue this myth is.

In reality these parenting myths actually make parenting much harder. I’ve seen it first hand in my clinical and also my personal experience as a mum how these untrue myths make us underestimate our kids and impact our relationships and connection as well as our kids self-concept and esteem.

Our goal as parents should always focus on connection not control. Many of the child narratives told by society focus on control. There are so many more myths and untruths out there about kids that need to be debunked, the list would be exhaustive. Which ones as a parent have you questioned?

Parenting is easier when we stop chasing outdated advice and start trusting what science tells us about kids’ brains.

We all want our children to feel safe sharing their emotions with us.

We want them to know what’s happening inside their little bodies, to be able to say, “I’m sad,” or “I’m worried,” and to ask for help when they need it.

Why?

Because research shows that children who can name and communicate how they feel are:

✅ Less likely to develop depression
✅ More resilient when things go wrong
✅ Better able to regulate their behaviour and feel balanced day-to-day

And we know this as adults too, when we name our feelings, we process them better, change unhelpful patterns, have healthier relationships, and ride life’s ups and downs with more ease.

The best thing we can do for our kids is help them build this skill from birth. Kids don’t automatically know what sadness, anger, or anxiety is; they feel it in their bodies first. We are their first teachers of feelings.

💛 Here’s a personal example:

The other morning, my daughter started crying right before I had to leave for work. Her little face was crumpled, eyes full of tears.

Instead of rushing her or distracting her, I got down on her level and said:

“Mummy has to go to work. How does this make you feel? I can see you look sad because you have a frown and your eyes are teary. It’s so hard to say goodbye. It’s ok to feel sad. I feel sad too when I leave.”

In that moment, she softened. She leaned in for a hug. By giving her sadness a name and space, she began learning that feelings can be felt, talked about, and moved through.

Save this post to remind yourself on the hard days. 💛

As parents, we long for our children to learn from our mistakes — to avoid the pain we’ve felt, to take the smoother road, to know their worth without ever having to question it. And yet… life doesn’t work that way. We can offer wisdom, guidance, and love but we can’t live their lessons for them.

There are so many truths I want my children to carry with them as they grow. But I’ve learned that how we share our wisdom matters just as much as what we say.
When advice feels like criticism, it shuts them down. But when it’s shared with openness, humility, and empathy, it becomes something they can carry, not something they need to resist.

The hardest part of parenting is knowing our children will still face hardship, no matter how much we love them. But it’s also true that pain is often the teacher of strength, and struggle becomes the soil where resilience takes root.

We can’t control the path, but we can be their lighthouse — a steady, loving presence they return to when the waves get high.

We may not be able to protect them from every hard thing, but we can help them feel supported, seen, and strong enough to rise through it.

These are the four life teachings I hope to pass on — my parenting blueprint, not built to prevent pain, but to help them grow through it.

What lessons do you hope to pass on to your child?

Play between grandparents and grandchildren supports emotional security, identity, and belonging—for both generations.
Children feel seen and grounded. Grandparents feel purposeful and connected.
It’s not about keeping up.
It’s about showing up.

Every child worries, it’s part of healthy development.
What changes is what they worry about as their thinking, awareness, and world expand.

Understanding what’s typical at each stage helps us respond with reassurance rather than alarm—and notice when worries might need extra support.
Not all worries need fixing.
Most need understanding, containment, and time.
