'My kid is 12 and I feel like I've really messed up'

No, you haven't! But let's not wait any longer. We can be so hard on ourselves as parents. Understandable, I get it. The pressure to be perfect is all around us. However I'm sure you'll also agree, that as there is no manual this is just unnecessary pressure. Whatever your reason(s) for, not yet, having the talk with your kid, it's not too late. Whether: You felt unsure about what to say. Were waiting for them to come to you. Were waiting for the perfect time or the perfect words. Now feel like you've missed the boat. It's not too late! Join us this week as we dive into how to show ourselves compassion as parents; how to use this as a learning opportunity (for you and your kid); and how to use our emotions about our mistakes to create connection with our kid(s). Before you dive in, remember: To go easy on yourself. You are here, showing up for yourself and your kid. You're willing to, and are putting in the work to make lasting changes. The development of new habits takes time. If you feel like you could use some support with sustaining your growth as a courageous parent. Or need the support of a community. Join us in The Evolve School. We only open twice a year. And doors are only open for a limited time. So, if you feel called to, and are ready to take the next step on your journey, get in touch here . x Sarah
