Our parents shaped us.
But if weâre not careful, their patterns run our parenting on autopilot.
In the episode of Parenting In The Trenches, Dr. Q named three big patterns:
1ď¸âŁRebelling against your parentsâ style
2ď¸âŁCopying it because âI turned out fineâ
3ď¸âŁTrying to live your life through your child
None of this makes you a bad parent. It makes you a human parent.
But awareness gives you a choice: continue the pattern, or rewrite it. âď¸
