#033 – When Parenting Brings up Shame
Even the best of parents has a hard time not allowing their child’s choices to define something about themselves—good or bad. We all get caught up to some degree in Parenting Comparisonitis. The truth is, when your child makes choices you like, you can’t take all the responsibility for that. And when your child makes choices you don’t like, you can’t take all the credit then either. There are so many opportunities as a parent to live in shame and think that you did it all wrong and want to hide parts of yourself and your family from other people. But, hiding will never help you get to a better place and it will keep you living in shame, thinking something is wrong with you and something is wrong with your child. Shame is a major tool Satan uses to keep us stuck where we are and not allow us to grow. Listen to this episode to learn:
· What shame looks like when it shows up in your life
· Three specific tools you can use to combat shame
· How to begin letting the shame go
