Let go of Expectation and Perfection.
First of all, accept your exquisite imperfections. This is a little secret: You don’t have to be the ideal mother for your children; they don’t want that, they want you to be authentic for them. Observing you will teach them how to fall and get back up gracefully. They will discover that being true to who they are is acceptable.
Observing you will teach them to be self-assured and compassionate. This is not meant to put further strain on you as a parent. To put it simply, you are your child’s ideal parent.
Just be who you really are.
Drop Judgement and Comparison
Don’t judge and compare your kids. But nowadays, with social media, it is tempting to compare ourselves to others. In real you are for getting that, when people post online, they are usually only posting the “picture-perfect” moments to share with the world.
