Struggling with your morning routine with your kids?
Struggling with your morning routine with your kids?
A couple gentle questions for you—and I ask them with SO MUCH compassion. Because I know how deeply you care about and love your child.
How much effort do YOU put into get your child out the door in the morning, versus how much effort is YOUR CHILD making?
How much effort do you WANT to put into getting your child out the door?
Do you want to be working HARDER than your child to get out the door on time?
Is it serving your child for you to be worker harder than they are?
Is it helping your child develop responsibility, initiative, and self-confidence?
I totally get it. You are just trying to be supportive. So, of course, you go the extra mile to help your kid. Of course you urge and cajole and twist yourself into a pretzel.
But maybe it’s making you resentful. Or annoyed. Or angry. As you see your child take less and less responsibility and initiative.
The truth is a child will take less and less responsibility, as the parent takes on more and more.
