Parenting Scripts Are Great, But…

Have you ever found yourself reading parenting scripts that are beautifully crafted online and thought, “Heck yeah, I can totally use that!” And then, in the heat of the moment with your own kiddo, completely forgotten everything and reverted back to all of your old ways?

Don’t get me wrong, I love good parenting scripts as much as anyone and think they can be extremely helpful. But only if you are understanding the reasoning behind why the script is useful. Only if you have done the work to figure out how to make it authentic to you, your child, the relationship, and the particular moments that come up.

And don’t forget about the fact that you have to be able to access these scripts from your brain in the heat of a moment, which often requires you to know how to regulate yourself when you are triggered.

Whew, parenting is a lot of work. But you got this!!!
