When you are trying to be kind and firm as a parent, something you realize you're being too permissive or too strict. I call this "Pendulum Parenting" and it happens when your own emotions derail your intentions. Perhaps you're worried about finances and your kid asks if they can quit their job and you respond more strictly than you meant to. Or if you are tired and sad and have a migraine and they ask if they can skip school and you just say okay. Both of these are at the ends of that pendulum. It's totally normal AND it's okay! The wonderful thing is when we are aware of it, we can repair things with our kids once we feel better. #pendulumparenting #parentingishard #parentingstyles
