Every parent loves their child and wants what’s best for them. But our own past experiences — what we learned, how we were treated, and the wounds we carry — can unconsciously shape the way we respond to our children. Without reflection, these patterns can pass from one generation to the next. The good news? You can change your parenting story at any time. The brain is built for growth and change. With awareness, self-compassion, and intentional practice, you can rewire your responses and build stronger, healthier connections with your children.
