Parenting is one of the most wonderful experiences we could have. Parenting teaches us love on very deep levels as well as appreciation to life. It teaches us more about who we are then almost any other experience. On the other hand it can present us with the toughest challenges we have ever encountered. The emotional depth and investment in the well being of a child together with the ever-changing theories of how to parent leave us in a constant state of limbo. The highs and lows of parenting can be equated to a Bi Polar experience, with a very sharp swing.

Part of the problem is a tremendous sense of guilt and shame that accompanies most parents. Let’s face it, we all feel inadequate at some point (usually multiple points)  and on some level in our parenting. Some parents have an easier time with younger kids than older ones and vice versa.

Parenting is such an evolving “profession”, which really doesn’t have a recipe nor guide map. Often what helps is the perspective of other parents, grandparents, and peer groups.

If you are struggling and need support, clarity, or guidance give me a call.
