Parenting is Impossible is an attempt at advising and sharing the delights, pains, surprises as well as shocks that I have experienced as a parent with others who are trying their best but still seem lost. Who are struggling to stay happy…. keep their children happy…..struggling to find a balance and basically struggling to remember why they become parents in the first place – to enjoy this lifelong journey that they are on with their children.
Parenting is Impossible is a guide for parents to navigate the challenging maze that parenting is – authentically and joyfully – without tricks, threats or rewards……without any distraction, guilt or shame, but really with respect, honesty, love, acceptance, trust and understanding. It is in a way an eye opener to a perspective that most likely none of us ever had. But when you realize that you are in what is a relationship with your child “a separate unique human being” and not an empty vessel, it is when you begin to see a different but clearer perspective. The perspective that lets us know that we do not need a village to raise a child. What we really need is a relationship based on trust, respect and acceptance, just like how we would have with any other human being.
This perspective shift in parenting gets results not just in good behavior but in real authentic behavior…. where children don’t just grow but blossom, who don’t just act goody two shoes but actually feel good about themselves and therefore behave authentically good. The kind of parenting that not only lets your child thrive but also YOU. More on this?
