Growing up means learning what life is. When you're little, you have a set of ideals, standards, criteria, plans, outlooks, and you think that you have to sit around and wait for them to happen to you and then life will work. But life isn't like that, for anybody; you can't fall in love with a standard, you have to fall in love with a person. You can't live in a criteria, you have to live your life. You can't wait for your plans to materialize, because they may never materialize the way you think they will. You can't wait to watch your ideals and standards walk up to you, because you can't know what's yours until you have it. I always say, always take the first chance in case you never get a second one, but growing up takes that even one step further, growing up means that you have to hold on to what you have, when you have it, because what you have- that's yours- and all the ideals and criteria you have set in your head, those aren't yours, because those haven't happened to you.

Parenting is no doubt, one of the most daunting tasks faced by any and many of us, hands down! Some get it first time round, some after two or more attempts and others struggle for dear life.. no judgements here.. still looking for that perfect person.

How do you get it right or who gets to say who got what right.. It’s more akin to being tossed into an abyss of the deep blue sea and handed two tiny life buoys names ‘instinct’ and ‘intuition,’ with zero swim lessons ofcourse!

We made it.. yeah.. by the just!

The post takes a very simplistic overview of the different parental stereotypes with full credit to Elaine Mead. But importantly, driving home the message that these stereotypes may actually have an impact or influence on the way our kids develop and indeed respond in most things. So here we could actually have a somewhat better insight into the emotional ‘why’ behind kids acting out or not!

I can relate to the dismissive and good parent stereotypes, in varying parts that is..

Which of these stereotypes speak to you?
Or which would you rather not be speaking to ..
