Hey! Today we're talking about the concept of internal and external locus of control and its profound implications for parenting and personal well-being. Together, we'll explore how reframing parenting responsibilities from "I have to" to "I get to" can bring a sense of gratitude and joy to our daily tasks, deepening our connection with the role of being a parent. We'll discuss the empowering nature of an internal locus and its impact on self-efficacy and motivation, and I'll share personal reflections on maintaining a flexible work schedule for greater happiness and control over my life. We'll also delve into the pitfalls of helicopter and snow plow parenting, emphasizing the importance of allowing our children to face challenges independently to nurture resilience and self-reliance. Discover how integrating children into household chores can instill a sense of responsibility and connection within the family unit, shaping them into responsible individuals with a strong work ethic.
