RE: What would I change about my parenting? (@steemitmamas Contest Week 3)
It's actually really good that you are criticizing your own parenting skills. Some parents don't even care enough to find faults in their parenting technique and think they know everything about it, then blame it on the kids when they don't turn out to be what their parents thought they would be.
Glad you're playing your part right!
It's tricky with the parenting... you do need to be self-critical.. but not so much that you are paralysed! And it is just different for different people! Best to just try your best, and hopefully if you are diligent and lucky, things will turn out right!
Well, I'm not a parent (obviously) so I can't say for certain, but I do think that trying to be the "perfect parent" itself is a really unhealthy thing to do anyway. It would do your child more harm than good because they will learn to idealize someone who doesn't feel content with their own self-image.
