It is in our human nature to want to progress, to change, to improve and to strive for more. We want better careers, we want more money, we want to fix our relationships, sort out our health, make sure we’re building our friendships and maintaining our homes.
And nowhere does this passion for perfection exist more than with our children. We will go far beyond the call of duty to ensure that our children are getting the best help possible for anything we deem to be lacking. They have extra lessons and additional classes and speech therapy and play therapy and OT and physio and manners workshops and life skills training and endless evaluations. We push ourselves to ensure that we’re giving them the right amount of quality time and healthy boundaries and help with their homework.
It isn’t easy. There is always something more that needs to be done, our to do lists just keep getting longer and our time always seems to be shrinking. Ask anyone to rate their children across all seven areas of life and you’ll find at least half of the areas to be falling below the OK mark.
