I will be the first to admit that I use the trite expression, “good fences make good neighbors,” and there are many times when this is true. However, do we consider the possibility of a path often enough? Are we building fences where a path would be better, kinder, more neighborly?

“You promise you’ll catch me?” 🥹😭 #5yearsold Being a ‘good’ parent isn’t about catching every fall or getting everything perfect the first time. Sometimes it’s more about helping pick up the pieces and supporting them as they work to rediscover their courage and confidence. I believe in their ability to lead their progression and sometimes that means letting them send something that makes me nervous and sometimes that means supporting their decision to step away for a while because they don’t feel ready. It’s all valid and all needs to be supported “Did it scare you or did it hurt you” is a question we started asking when they were really young and took a tumble. It gives them something to focus on as they step back from the initial shock and think about their response as they decide if they are really hurt or more just stunned. Meanwhile it gives us as parents a few seconds to triage the situation and when combined with their response leads to a more accurate first impression of how bad the situation is or isn’t. #fatherdaughter #raisingdaughters

People have two basic needs: Authenticity and Attachment. Maté argues that when parents or caregivers reject or discourage a child’s authentic expressions—be it through criticism, punishment, or neglect—the child faces a painful dilemma. To maintain the essential attachment and avoid the threat of rejection, the child may suppress their authentic self. Attachment: This is the deep emotional bond between a child and their caregivers, crucial for the child’s survival and emotional development. A child’s primary instinct is to maintain and secure this bond. Authenticity: This refers to being true to oneself, expressing one’s true feelings, desires, and needs. Conflict Between Attachment and Authenticity Long-Term Impact: Over time, this suppression can lead to a disconnection from one’s true feelings and desires, as the child learns to prioritize the attachment over their own authenticity. This disconnection can contribute to various emotional and psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, and a lack of self-identity. Maté emphasizes that many adults continue to struggle with this conflict, often feeling unable to assert their true selves in relationships and life choices. Parental Influence: When parental love and acceptance are perceived as conditional—dependent on the child’s behavior conforming to the parents’ expectations—the child learns to mold themselves to these conditions, further distancing from their authentic self. Healing Through Authenticity: Maté suggests that healing involves reclaiming one’s authenticity, understanding the origins of these conflicts, and learning to express and honor one’s true self while still maintaining healthy relationships.
