I think the #1 best parenting strategy is to do our very best, which is gonna be different for every single one of us because the parent-child dynamic is exquisitely unique to each of us. Simultaneously, I believe we must practice being at peace that we are gonna get a lot wrong, which is our shadow work to do.  In other words, freedom from thinking our parenting is perfect. It’s not. There is no perfect way to be human. There is no perfect way to parent. I desire to be free from perfection. I am a recovering perfectionist. I know how I parent today is my very best. And, I welcome my son’s honest feedback, free from me being defensive. Yes I’m doing my best, and I have no illusion that I don’t get a lot wrong (i get a lot wrong) as I will never know what it is like to be him on his Earth Journey.  I check in with my son regularly on how he’s feeling and what could I do better, how can I better support him. He’s a teen, he doesn’t have much feedback, yet. But the day he does, I’m here for it. I’m good with him telling me how I got it wrong. In fact, I welcome it.  And the fact that my teen likes dancing with me, and gives me permission to share videos and photos of him, for today, we are good. And today is all I have.  Also, have you listened to my podcast yet? This weeks episode is my parenting style. Emphasis MY way, not THE way. https://www.jadebeall.com/p/youre-too-sensitive
