This is part 2 of my series on parenting. You can listen to part 1 <a href="https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/it-s-time-to-embrace-messy-parenting">here</a>.  As I mentioned in part 1, it’s ok to be a “messy” parent. We need to normalize, not stigmatize, messy parenting. This means embracing our feelings and mistakes and learning from them, using them to grow and learn as parents. It means using our own struggles to help our children understand how to manage the “messiness” and challenges of life through example and open communication. Indeed, one of the best ways we can teach our children how to manage their mental health is by modeling how we deal with life’s difficulties, including how we parent them and how we embrace, process and manage our own mistakes. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Read the blog here: <a href="https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/lessons-from-the-worlds-longest-scientific-study-of-happiness">⁠</a><a href="https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/what-i-learned-about-parenting-from-watching-ted-lasso">https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/what-i-learned-about-parenting-from-watching-ted-lasso</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to full AD-FREE episodes, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p> <p><strong>-Nutrafol: Take the first step to visibly thicker, healthier hair.
