In parenting (and in life) we tend to have expectations of what we believe our kids are capable of. For most parents, this is rooted in our own stories of inadequacy, rejection, and judgment. We react from fear and rescue, fix and take the pressure off. Oh, Johnny can’t possibly clean up the living room, he is stressed and needs to relax. Or Jane is too little to be expected to keep her hands to herself so you are left policing every interaction Jane has with every human on the planet, including her siblings. Or, Bobby has an issue with food textures, he won’t eat that, when a separate meal is not prepared by you.But if you raise the bar, and recognize that they are capable of more than you anticipate, you give your kids space to not only surprise you but surprise themselves too, this is the space of growth. When we stretch ourselves outside of what we thought we could do. In this Episode Pam shares areas of life and ways to raise the bar and expect more, all of which is backed by brain-based research.
