We may not often think of this as parents, but parenting is just as much about our growth as it is about the rearing of our children. None of us were born knowing how to be parents. For many, it may be the first time that we’ve had the responsibility of caring for children, let alone the added pressure of teaching these little humans. And when we look at it that way, as a lifelong opportunity for personal growth, this allows us to frame the question about our readiness for personal growth differently. Remember that you’re on a journey too. You’re not expected to be a perfect parent. Understand that we’re on a growth journey in the parenting realm while our children are on their growth journey to adulthood.
