Becoming Aware of Your Own Upbringing
How you think and act now are according to what your own parents taught you as right or wrong.
This process of social conditioning impairs your ability to know what you really want.
You live your life wearing various masks and these are what your children see.
What does your upbringing have to do withyour parenting?
Your child will pick up all that emotional and mental baggage from your own upbringing—no matter what you tell them. Because children learn to do what you do, not what you tell them to do.
What’s the best parenting style?
Instead of focusing on the external ways of improving your parenting style, start with changing yourself.
Be aware of your own emotional and psychological baggage and become less fucked-up.
How can I guide my child?
Guide your child the best you can, but don’t put your child in a box that
prevents him or her from discovering what works for them or what their real
motivations or talents are.
How can I guide my child?
Give your child the opportunity to experience what works for them and what doesn’t. And instead of telling them what’s “good” or “bad,” express what you find “acceptable” or “unacceptable” because moralizing perpetuates the habit of seeking approval to feel good about oneself.
