Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your
relationship with him.
Dr. Henker
In many ways I am a perfectionist and I push that expectation on to my children. I may
not be one when it comes to keeping my house clean but when something is
important to me and it goes wrong, I have a tendency to beat myself up and get frustrated about
not getting it right.
There are few things
on this planet more important to me than raising wonderful, loving and compassionate
children. So when I do something that
makes me feel like less than a perfect parent, it eats at me. And when my children “act” less than perfect
I get frustrated.
But this quote is great because it reminds me that as long as I am working
to improve the relationship I have with my children, they will grow to be
wonderful, loving and compassionate children.
In fact they already are. I just
get so bogged down in the details of life that I too often forget to see them
for who they already are.
