What if you could shift your focus from the results you want in your children to the parent you want to be? This episode explores the liberating perspective that comes from emphasizing the process over the outcome in parenting. We set the stage with a candid conversation about the realities of life, acknowledging that there are "some days and other days." Drawing from the philosophy of the Stoics and positive psychology, we reflect on the importance of aligning actions with personal values and chasing less after results.
Dive into a profound discussion on how this philosophy applies to parenting, exploring the challenge of guiding children without trying to control their outcomes. We consider the transformative power of focusing more on who you want to be as a parent. Listen in as we contemplate on finding a parenting style that suits you, meets your child's needs, and focuses on the process rather than the results. We conclude with the most profound lessons of smart parenting and share practical steps you can take today to be the parent you aspire to be.
