250. Trying Not to Damage Your Kids

As parents, it’s natural to worry about the impact you’re having on your kids. Thoughts like, “I just don’t want to damage my kids,” or, “My parents messed me up, and I don’t want to repeat that cycle,” are incredibly common. But what does this fear of “damaging” your child actually mean? How does it affect the way we parent, and what can we do to minimize harm while fostering connection and growth? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the fears and beliefs around parenting “damage.” We’ll explore how these thoughts manifest in everyday parenting decisions, why they might be holding you back, and actionable steps to focus on what your child truly needs instead. Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect—progress, awareness, and intention matter far more.
