If you’re constantly berating yourself for falling short as a parent, I have fantastic news for you: You don’t have to be a perfect parent to be a very good one.
Parenting expert Georgia Anderson is on the show to share how research proves that a perfectionist parent is actually an ineffective–and unhappy–one. Instead, Georgia encourages this alternative: showing our kids that we aren’t perfect, but that we will always work to repair our mistakes and keep trying.
The way to do this? Georgia shares some phenomenal tips, including how showing yourself more compassion will transfer to your children, what to do when you see red, how we can use our bodies to change our emotions, and much more.
Georgia was kind enough to share some big moments in her own life where she learned that perfectionism was holding her back as a parent, and how she squared her shoulders and moved forward during a traumatic change she and her family faced.
