So if you're a friend or part of my family and you've heard it all before, I'm duller than I thought. Sorry.Crispin Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03281584363237478027noreply@blogger.comBlogger416125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17804801.post-68563309504518795142013-11-14T12:50:00.003+00:002013-11-14T13:02:18.622+00:00You are good enoughA couple of years ago I was introduced to a concept that has transformed me from an anxious,
over-critical parent (of myself) to one that is far more comfortable in
both decision-making and in my general everyday relationships with the
kids.<br />
<br />
Actually 'concept' is not really the right description, it's more that
someone pointed out the obvious. However, you know how these things are,
someone pointing out the obvious can be just as transformative as the
formation and communication of a new concept. Ask any adman, no idea is a
new idea, they've all been rehashed a million times.<br />
<br />
I was reminded of this 'concept' a couple of days ago on watching the
frankly ridiculous exchange between Katie Hopkins and Peaches Geldof on
This Morning. The two were arguing about the concept of attachment
parenting (Peaches/hugging/sleeping/<br />
<div id=":kz">
<wbr></wbr>being close to baby) as opposed to what I
suppose you might call detachment parenting (Katie/do as I say/leave
them to cry etc etc). If you really want to see the argument, it's played
out below, it doesn't actually add to what I'm about to say, but it's
mildly entertaining, if you define entertaining as being really
irritating. At the very least it was the catalyst for this post.<br />

The debate got me to thinking about how we've somehow, over a period of
maybe 4 decades, managed to completely fuck with the minds of new
parents, so badly, that the first years of a child's life and in some
cases more, are often tinged with the underlying anxiety and worry of the parents. Anxiety
and worry about pretty much any aspect of 'parenting' you can think of.
The mere fact we now call it 'parenting' tells us something about the
nature of labelling. Everything in child-rearing (sorry parenting) is a
theory and until this clip I'd forgotten what it was like to be a new parent. I'm now 10 years in
and most of that theory stuff happened in the early few years, that was
until I was suddenly thrown back to it by the Peaches/Hopkins off. The funny thing about this labelling thing is
that even if you don't read all the baby books and just get on with it,
you're still forced into the 'parenting' discussion by calling yourself
an 'instinctive parent' or some such rubbish.<br />
<br />
So what changed for me? Well first, was having a third child and having
less time to worry so much. The second and probably more important
reason was the fact that someone pointed out to Nic and I that the
anxiety we had built up especially around Eben (it's always the eldest)
might be more to do with us, than him. It was obvious, it wasn't the
complete answer, but it was instructive as to how we might change our
approach.<br />
<br />
However, while that helped, it was what he gave us to attack that with
that was transformational. He said and I paraphrase, 'you seem like
pretty good, pretty diligent, pretty caring, pretty hard-working
parents. Why don't you think that's good enough?' For me and for Nic
(maybe slightly less so) it was utterly life-changing.<br />
<br />
The idea of being 'good enough' is an extraordinarily liberating one. It
doesn't mean you try any less, or you put in any less effort, or
you change your value set, or that your ambitions for your family are altered.
However, it means you stop judging everything as either a success or
more importantly a failure. Good enough means you tried bloody hard and
the fact it didn't work out is just one of those things. It's not going to
see your children in the gutter in 20 years time. It means you can get
things 'wrong' several times in a row and you're still a diligent
parent, you're still good enough.<br />
<br />
Frankly the good enough concept can be applied to pretty much any aspect of your life and just as effectively by people without children. The only reason I've written about this in that context is because of the way it was introduced to me. We all live more complex, busier and fragmented existences than people in the past. We're attempting to achieve alot, inevitably that means we're not going to be brilliant at some of it. In fact some of it we'll be absolutely crap at. But, if you're good enough and you let yourself believe you're good enough, then I can guarantee you'll feel less stressed out<br />
<br />
So I'm passing it on in case you're still chasing perfection (which is
impossible, which we all already know and for some reason, most of us keep ignoring). You can call it a new concept if you like. Or, you can carry on
with your ridiculously busy life and pass it on to someone else who
might find it helpful.<br />
<br />
Oh and here's a picture of my happy kids. I've got loads of them (pictures that is, just the 3 kids) and some of them aren't posed like this and they've still got smiles on their faces. I'm probably good enough.<br />

It was a certainty that he would be a rugby player, outgoing, loud and keen to chat. <p /> Eight years down the line I've been proved completely wrong. It took me a long time to adjust to Eben, he tested me. He taught me a lot about the assumptions we make every day. He also taught me that you have to adapt the way you behave and deliver information dependent on who you're dealing with. He also exposed my greatest weaknesses, he challenges my worst behaviours as a human being. <p /> The love I have for him is gut-wrenching, it's a feeling difficult to describe, but it literally feels like someone pulling your insides out through your stomach. Yet he's so far from what I expected. I doubt I'm ever going to stand on a rugby touchline and cheer him on, he is not in the slightest bit interested. I have had to learn that he feels huge discomfort in the presence of new people and I have to ensure he can find a place he derives some pleasure from on the day and eventually participates on his terms. Oh, he is loud though. Yeah I got that right. <p /> Why the reason for the post? Well I went to his parent's evening last night. It's quite a nerve-racking experience a parent's evening. Ultimately you don't really care how they're doing academically as long as they're around average. What you really want to know is how they're getting on in the class, whether they're enjoying it and that they're comfortable. He appears to be all those things and more, but it made me realise how quickly he's growing up and how little you take real notice of that. Next week Nic's going away with the kids for half term so I won't see them. I need to make the absolute most of the next couple of days, because every second counts. <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://sixyearslate.posterous.com/expectation-management">Six's junk thought theorum</a> </p> </div>Crispin Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03281584363237478027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17804801.post-27317871011732328632011-08-13T18:02:00.003+01:002011-08-13T18:02:15.978+01:00She's quite demanding my daughter<div class='posterous_autopost'><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/F38V4Tf01zs" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="417" width="500"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://sixyearslate.posterous.com/shes-quite-demanding-my-daughter">Six's junk thought theorum</a> </p> </div>Crispin Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03281584363237478027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17804801.post-19977284416751463492011-06-20T21:23:00.001+01:002011-06-20T21:23:58.567+01:00This just arrived for Eben.
