The parenting fear that keeps you up at night
What if he keeps hitting, and becomes a violent adult?
What if she always overreacts and yells, and other kids hate her?
What if he never gets motivated, and he never succeeds at anything?
What if she is always this shy, and she’s alone forever?
The space in our heads can be pretty scary as parents. We can cycle through doomsday predictions at lightning speed. We may be circling the drain of despair, but you can’t always tell from the outside, because we tend to hold our worst fears inside.
What if you could unburden your fears about your child with a nonjudgmental, supportive listener? This is what I do as a parent coach.
What does it feel like to have this problem? How does it affect you? How does it affect your relationship with your child?
Sometimes the fears are so scary, or embarassing, we have never said them out loud. But they eat at us inside.
Well, you CAN say it out loud. In fact, it will feel much BETTER after you do.
The worry is like a thousand pound weight you carry around all day.
The problem is not unsolvable. The problem is not the end of the world. But you do need to start by talking with someone who will not judge or shame you, or blame you--someone who knows how painful this feels is and wants to support you.
What is your biggest fear about your child? Let’s talk about it. What does it feel like to have this problem with your child?
I’m completely nonjudgmental. That weight you are carrying around isn’t getting any lighter by holding your worries in.
Let’s talk. I can help.
