I Wish I'd Had That As A Kid

[@g1nnyg1n]

Wow, this is something I've struggled with so much as a parent. I'd say it led me to a huge meltdown several years ago, where I simply had to let it go because it was affecting my relationship with my son and my own well being. I knew some of the root of it, but until now have never heard anyone else talk about it. I also grew up rurally, and without a lot of resources. Like the mom in this episode, I was highly motivated as a kid, and so eager to learn ALL the THINGS!! But the opportunities and resources were limited for us as well. My kid is the opposite. We now have resources, and live near opportunities galore! It triggers me so much that he's either not interested at all or gets interested and then loses it, and I know I've pushed him past interest before by going gung ho. It is really so helpful to hear this talked about, and to hear about options for a different way to think and act around this issue. Thank you! (got to this podcast via Dr. Ingrid Clayton )

Hey🙋🏻‍♀️! Your approach is similar to the Circle of Security Parenting, mainly because both are based on attachement theory and further research.😉It is a pity that the Circle of Security it is not as advertised or given enough credit though. Keep up the good work!❤
