Show Notes
It's time to get serious…of course that’s what we’ve been doing all season but this week we get serious about perfectionism and “pinterest parenting.” What happens when we set goals and achievements for our kids without reflecting on what our kids need? What happens when we set unrealistic expectations for ourselves as parents? When we demand perfectionism of ourselves, what are we teaching our kids?
There are some truths shared today (truths that Tovah wants to ignore). We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of perfection parenting. We also talk about how we can do things differently.

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK
- Grab your journals! If you are a parent, think about how you are parenting right now. Are you pushing your kids to be something or do something that they are not? Do you feel that perfectionism or demanding?
- Keep journaling and think about your childhood and reflect on what your experience was like growing up? Did you have this kind of perfectionism in your life? (Only do this if it is safe. If not, reach out to a therapist.)
- Take a minute to journal about your ideal day with your kids and how you would be. Compare this to how you were raised and how you are currently raising your kids.
