- ShouldStorm - Culture of perfectionism and criticism
- We as parents want to do what is best for our kids, but we are bombarded by everyone telling us what we should and should not do.
- Finding the “right” answer.
- Defining “expert”
- How the ShouldStorm impacts our kids
- We like to blame social media, but it really comes from what we talk about in our communities.
- What matters is not the college but the student.
- If you play someone else’s game, you will always lose, if you’re playing your own game, you can’t lose.
- Sigh, See, Start: transitions you from the anxiety of the ShouldStorm, to connection with your kids.
- The sigh is a built-in mechanism in our bodies, breathe out long and slow - sends a message to our body that we are OK.
- Vagus nerve turns on prefrontal cortex.
- See - moment of mindfulness - see your child. Noticing, not doing.
- Start - run an experiment about how to help the situation.
- Built on a faith that is scientifically grounded, you (and your kids) are more capable than you think (and than the world will tell you are).
- Emphasizing repair
