Ever feel like a bad mom when your toddler has a tantrum at the grocery store or your tween is struggling with schoolwork? It's all too easy to attach our sense of self-worth to our kids' behaviors or abilities - especially when we get compliments for their good behavior and impressive skills. But the reality is that when we use their "goodness" as a measuring stick of our worth, no one benefits.

In this episode I'm exploring why we tend to link our worth to our kid's "goodness," and the impacts that can have on us and our children. Plus, I'm sharing my tips for starting to address this issue.
