When we value parenting, we can set high expectations of ourselves to hear all our children’s feelings, respond patiently and scaffold their learning and development with laser awareness. But when the reality challenges the fantasy, what do you do? How can you widen your lens to see the bigger picture and find greater spaciousness? In this episode we respond to a listener who wants to expand her family but is afraid of what adding a third child will do to the family dynamic and her ability to find the spaciousness to be present.
