Parenting is a difficult task, but there are numerous approaches that may be useful to you if you become a mother or father.
Or not.
It is debatable.
However, being a compassionate parent does not imply that you are not preparing your child for a “difficult” world.
In fact, that is exactly what you should do as a parent to prepare them for what is to come.
And one mother has shared a story that exemplifies this.
N’tima Preusser is a holistic wellness consultant, personal trainer, mentality specialist, and mother who utilizes her TikTok channel to educate others about health, adulting, and parenting.
In one of her most recent videos, she discussed gentle parenting and what it means in today’s “tough society.”
She told a tale about how a teacher yelled at her daughter and how she handled it, despite the fact that she had never heard strong rhetoric at home.
According to legend, N’tima spotted a drawing her daughter had made of her crying.
When asked about it, the daughter revealed that during recess, one of her teachers began yelling at her.
She assumed the teacher was having a bad day and decided to vent it on her.
As a result, the daughter became enraged.
And she felt that way until she had some quiet time and drew the painting, which helped her channel her anger and calm down.
“My child did not crumble when she was faced with disrespect. Instead, she was able to recognize this isn’t what I deserve. And this doesn’t have much to do with me,” explained N’tima. “Not only are they going to survive the big tough world, they’re going to thrive because they’re not going to have to spend the majority of their adulthood healing from their childhood,”
