What do I mean by parenting authentically?
Manage episode 342491348 series 3399767
This week I go a little bit deeper into what I mean about parenting authentically. Since I became a mom in the U.S. I emulated everything about U.S. moms. I tried to do similar things as them such as playdates, classes, trips to different places, and reading books with my children. These experiences were wonderful, but somehow along this parenting journey, I found it all exhausting! There was so much to learn and it felt like I would never be good enough as a parent.
Recently, I realized that in addition to being exhausted, I had also failed to incorporate anything from Kyrgyzstan and my upbringing into my parenting. I had a deep belief that anything that I could offer from my childhood would not be as good. Was it true that the U.S. has something better to offer rather than what I bring to the parenting table? When I really challenged myself to explore my beliefs, I really surprised myself. Challenging those beliefs have helped me to parent authentically, and I look forward to how this episode resonates with you.
I would love to hear from you!
