Fear Of Parenting
Welcome to MomThought. I’m Joan Romero at MomThought.com. Today’s Momthought is Fear of Parenting.
We all have one life to live. And as a parent you only have a few precious years with your children before they separate themselves to learn about life on their own.
I think this scares some people. Because parenting is just too important, they’re afraid to try something new. So, if they stick with what they know then they can be pretty certain of the outcome. Besides, that is how they were raised, and they turned out okay.
But what if they try something new, and it doesn’t work. Or even worse, it does. What if you took a different approach to parenting and your kids were different.
I offer the thought that different isn’t bad. When you look at the majority and see things you do not want for your children such as obesity, teenage pregnancy addictions, I suggest that different can’t be all that bad. People who are different have original ideas, are innovative, and forward thinking.
These are the trend setters, the leaders, and the clear thinkers of the future. That’s who I want taking care of me in my old age. So please don’t be afraid to try something new.
