What Is The Worst Parenting Style?

Parenting a child you are blessed to raise can be one of the most joyful and important roles your creator can trust you with. 

Since this role does not come with a universal manual, most of us wonder whether we are doing a good enough job raising children who can fulfill their purpose, positively impact this world, and function as healthy adults. 

How do you know the answer to that question? Is there a best and worst way to parent your child? What is the worst parenting style?

The worst parenting style and the one with the worst future outcomes for the child is the one in which the parent is uninterested, unengaged, uninvolved, neglectful, and does not care about their child. 

The parent is not fully present and gives no feedback or attention to their child. This leads to the child having a lack of trust in themselves and others. They form a negative image of themselves and are unable to form healthy attachments and good relationships

So, you may be wondering how you make sure you are raising your kids well. Let’s discuss below some of the differences between ego-centered parenting which you need to avoid versus the awakened parenting style which you need to adopt because it is the best way to raise your kids.

Ego Centered Parenting Versus Awakened parenting

The impact of ego-centered parenting is detrimental to the children as they become adults and should be avoided at all costs. Here are eight differences between ego-centered versus awakened parenting. 

Focus On Self Versus Child

An ego-centered parent prioritizes and focuses on their own needs, desires, reputation, and insecurities, often at the expense of the child’s well-being. 

An awakened parent is child-centered and is focused on the child’s holistic development, fostering a deep understanding of their unique needs, strengths, and challenges. 

Control Versus Empowerment

An ego-centered parent seeks to control their child’s choices behavior and achievements to fulfill their ego needs such as validation or status.

An awakened parent aims to always empower their child to express themselves authentically, make their own choices, and learn from their experiences.  

Expectations Versus Acceptance

An ego-centered parent has rigid expectations and demands for their children, often projecting their unmet ambitions onto them. 

An awakened parent practices acceptance and non-judgment, embracing their children for who they are and supporting their growth paths.

Authoritarian Versus Compassionate

An ego-centered parent may involve authoritarian or manipulative communication, emphasizing power dynamics rather than empathy and understanding.

An awakened parent prioritizes open, honest, and compassionate communication, fostering trust, and emotional connection between parent and child.

Distracted Versus Present

An ego-centered parent may be preoccupied with their concerns or distracted, lacking presence and attunement to their children’s needs. 

An awakened parent cultivates mindfulness and presence in their interactions with their children, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. 

Hierarchical Versus Collaborative Relationship

An ego-centered parent may result in hierarchical, one-sided relationships where the parent’s needs take precedence over the child’s.

An awakened parent fosters collaborative relationships based on mutual respect, trust, and cooperation, where both parent and child have a voice and agency. 

Impose Values Versus Encouraging Individuality

An ego-centered parent may impose their values, interests, and aspirations onto their children, stifling their individuality and autonomy.

An awakened parent celebrates and encourages their children’s uniqueness, allowing them to explore their passions, express their identities, and develop a strong sense of self. 

Misunderstood Versus Confident Child

An ego-centered parenting may lead to the child feeling pressured, misunderstood, or unfulfilled, potentially resulting in strained relationships and emotional wounds that persist into adulthood.

An awakened parent nurtures their child’s emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-confidence, laying the foundation for positive self-esteem and fulfilling relationships in adulthood. 

In Conclusion, the worst parenting style and the one with the worst future outcomes for the child is the one in which the parent is uninterested, unengaged, uninvolved, neglectful, and does not care about their child. 

The parent is not present and gives no feedback or attention to their child. This leads to the child having a lack of trust in themselves and others. They form a negative image of themselves and are unable to form healthy attachments and good relationships

You also now know the difference between egocentric versus awakened parenting like focus on self versus child, control versus empowerment, expectations versus acceptance, authoritarian versus compassionate communication, 

Also distracted versus present, hierarchical versus collaborative relationship, impose values versus encourage individuality, and misunderstood versus confident child.

I hope you realize how important it is to raise your child as an awakened parent and not as an ego centered one.

Why Is Self-love Hard?

Most of us, especially mothers, use so much of our energy and time to make sure that everyone in our lives like our family, and friends feel loved, and are well taken care of. What about loving ourselves? Why is self-love hard?  

Self-love is hard because we do not prioritize it, are influenced to take actions, and form habits based on our limiting beliefs possibly formed from our childhood experiences habitual negative thoughts, and inner self-talk. 

Our society also considers self-love and care to be selfish especially if you are a mother. 

We also find it difficult to love ourselves because we have forgotten our true identity as a soul, where we have come from, whose image we are made in, and how powerful and loved we are by our creator. 

Most of us are less forgiving and compassionate towards ourselves and therefore tend to keep punishing ourselves for the mistakes that we made in the past. 

So, you may be wondering what are some revealing signs that you lack self-love. Let’s discuss that next. 

10 Signs That You Lack Self-love

Most of us have a very hard time living our true lives and loving ourselves unconditionally. We must learn to do so because only then we can know and teach others how to love us. Here are 10 signs that reveal that you lack self-love. 

Hide Your True Self

You feel like you do not matter, are not enough, worthy, and therefore you mask and hide your true self around others. You think if others know the true you they will not like you. 

Always be proud of who you are and be your true self. You are an individual expression of your creator, a soul on a journey that’s here right now to fulfill a purpose. People who are meant to be in your life will love you the way you are.

Overanalyze Your Behavior

You are afraid of being you and acting the way you want to because you fear that you will be judged by others. You mimic, adapt, and try to do what everybody else around you is doing.

You do not need to blend in and do what feels uncomfortable or harm yourself by adopting bad addictive habits to fit in. Always be true to yourself and listen to your emotional and physical guidance.  

You may inspire other people to be themselves too. Accept yourself and learn to be proud of who and how you are. The right people who are meant to be in your life will accept and love you just the way you are.

Have A Strong Fear Of Being Judged

The fear of being judged will lead you to always questioning and being less accepting of what you look like, and what you’re doing with your life in comparison to others.

Your life and purpose are between your soul and your creator.  It is not anyone else’s business. Do not worry about others judging you because they may not understand your purpose. Stay steadfast on your path to fulfilling your purpose before it is too late.   

Struggle With Mental And Physical Health

When you are in pain because you do not love and care about yourself you will be more likely to be drawn to addictions like others that are not good for you physically like excessive drinking, smoking, and overeating food that does not fuel your body and give it vitality. 

Your soul is in your body at the moment so take care of it. You cannot fulfill your purpose if you are not physically healthy.

You will also be more likely to adopt the wrong identity, beliefs, and thoughts which will lead to painful feelings, negative self-talk and words that you say to yourself, wrong actions and habits which will then lead to undesired destiny, an unhappy life, and mental health issues. 

Learn to be aware, catch, and stop adopting false identities, negative thoughts, and all the limiting beliefs that don’t serve you.

Feel Inferior To Others

There is no need to compare yourself to others, and feel inferior to them. Every soul is on a journey and is here to fulfill their purpose and calling. 

No one is superior and everybody deserves the same respect despite their worldly titles, education, occupation, gender, color, and social status.

Hard On Yourself

You tend to be hard on yourself and don’t take the time to celebrate and appreciate your accomplishments. Always acknowledge and be proud of who you are, what you have done with your life, and how much you have grown.  

Despite all the distractions if you are awakened and aspiring daily to live a more soul-aligned life take the time to celebrate and be proud of yourself.  

Be kind, and compassionate towards yourself, and learn to forgive yourself because it is okay to learn from your mistakes and grow. 

Lack Confidence

You lack confidence and self-belief and therefore believe that you do not deserve self-love. Always remember you are loved unconditionally by your creator and are here for a purpose or you would not be here. 

You have been built and are in a perfect body and have been given all the wisdom you need within you to fulfill your purpose.  

Be confident that you were built to serve your purpose and that you are capable. You are not limited and your life has infinite possibilities but you have to believe that. What you believe will always come true for you. 

Need Validation

You constantly need validation, approval, permission, and affirmations from others about how you are living your life, and how you look.  

Always remember everyone has lived a very different life and has had very different life experiences in comparison to you and therefore it will be impossible for them to approve and like everything about your life. 

You don’t need other’s validation and approval to live your dream life. Don’t give other’s opinions power over you.

Have Difficult And Unstable Relationships

You will attract partners and have difficult and unstable relationships. You will feel like you are staying in an abusive relationship because you don’t love yourself and feel that you do not deserve any better.  

Always remember you are loved unconditionally by your creator, you matter, are enough, and deserve the best. You should never allow yourself to be mistreated. You should be treated as an equal soul in any relationship.

Settle For Less

You tend to not dream big and settle for less because you fear that you do not believe in yourself and fear that you are not going to be successful.  

Start taking steps toward your dream life. It is okay to try different things, make mistakes, and have failures because they will help you grow and teach you to be better, make you stronger, and help you grow so you can serve others in a bigger and better way.

Leap and start moving towards what you want. Have faith in one hand and fear in the other, start discovering what your purpose is and start working on that.

In conclusion, you now know that self-love is hard because we do not prioritize it, are influenced to take actions, and form habits based on our limiting beliefs possibly formed from our childhood experiences habitual negative thoughts, and inner self-talk. 

Our society also considers self-love and care to be selfish especially if you are a mother. 

We also find it difficult to love ourselves because we have forgotten our true identity as a soul, where we have come, whose image we are made in, and how powerful and loved we are by our creator. 

Most of us are less forgiving and compassionate towards ourselves and therefore tend to keep punishing ourselves for the mistakes that we made in the past. 

The 10 signs to watch for that signal you lack self-love are you hide your true self, overanalyze your behavior, fear being judged, struggle with physical and mental health, feel inferior to others, are hard on yourself, lack self-confidence, need validation, have difficult relationships and settle for less.

I hope you will start loving yourself and scheduling some time daily for your self-care immediately.

Do Not know Your Purpose

Discover your purpose and stop living a busy life doing what society defines as important for a successful life.
 
Your soul is here to fulfill its contract, mission, and calling that it has with the creator.  Ask your soul to reveal to you what your purpose is and why you are here right now because it knows the answer to that question.

Let go of all the limiting beliefs that you may have acquired from school, parents, and society. Everything that you need to fulfill your purpose is within you and nobody has to approve of your mission. It’s between your soul and your creator.

Don’t Realize The Consequences

Start doing your work before it is too late. You are on this earth for a short while. You don’t realize the big consequences of not doing your work and the impact it has on this world.
 
There are people who desperately need you to do your purposeful work and help them. It’s important that you do your work and help those people that you are meant to help and make this world a better place. 
 
If you have children be a role model to them because they are here to fulfill a purpose as well and like you are also a soul that is on a journey and has a mission and calling that they are here to fulfill.

You may be wondering what are some questions to ask yourself as you practice self-reflection. Let’s discuss what some of these questions are next.

Self-reflection Questions To Ask Yourself?

If you do not take the time to know yourself then you cannot live your true, authentic, best life. You must sit down and answer these 12 self-reflections mentioned below. 

What Are My Top Core Values?

You need to know what your top core values are so that you can create a life of your dreams. Make sure you take the time to figure out what your top core values are by asking yourself what frustrates you the most, and what you care about to help you figure out what your values are.
 
Your values drive all the decisions that you make in life so the more familiar you are with them the easier it will get for you to make decisions. 
 
For example, if one of your top values is freedom then perhaps you would want to own your business and work for yourself instead of working for someone else who would then dictate what you do while at work and how much vacation and sick time you can take off.

What Beliefs And Principles Are Important?

Do you know what beliefs and guiding principles are important to you?  Your destiny will be directed by your identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, behavior, and habits and you must be aware of them.
 
For example, if you believe that you reap what you saw or that you treat people the way you want to be treated then those beliefs and principles will guide how you conduct yourself and influence the decisions that you make in your life daily.

What Are My Priorities?

Make sure you know your priorities and that they are reflected in your habits and schedule. For example, if spending time with your family is one of your priorities and if you never do so then you are not prioritizing what is important to you and will feel the consequences and sadness as a result.
 
This exercise will give you awareness and know whether you need to make changes to the way you live your life so that you can prioritize what you feel is the most important to you and not what other people or society says should be important.

What Are My Unique Gifts?

You like everyone else have been given unique gifts and natural strengths and talents by your creator to fulfill your purpose. Figure out what those gifts are for you and ask yourself are you using them to benefit yourself and others. 
 
If you do not know what they are then ask yourself what did you enjoy doing as a child, what do people compliment you on all the time, what do people to you for advice for.
 
Also, what comes naturally to you while other people struggle with the same thing or what problems have I gone through in life that I have solved for myself and I can now help others solve. The answer to these questions will begin to give you clues to your purpose and gifts. 

What Are My Blind Spots?

Figure out what some of your blind spots are. What stories and excuses are you telling yourself that keep you from doing your work? Do you have fears and doubts that make you feel like an imposter or ask yourself who am I to do this work?
 
Always remember you were perfectly built by your creator to fulfill your purpose and therefore have the exact body, size, color, race, and gender for your soul’s calling.

Who Do I Want To Be?

Ask yourself who do I want to be? Are you currently living a life that is alignment with your soul? You are an individualized divine expression of your creator. 
 
Create a quiet space and time in your life to connect and listen to your soul and creator. Your soul has all your answers and knows exactly why you are here.
 
The more you can be your true self which is like your soul-loving, kind, peaceful, joyful abundant, compassionate, pure, divine, wise, and powerful the more you’ll be able to serve your purpose and live a meaningful, blissful, and fulfilling life. 

What Energy Do I Want To Bring?

You can serve others with your energy by simply being in their presence. You can do that by raising your energy by connecting to your creator and soul. Be very intentional with the type of energy you bring everywhere that you go.
 
People will feel a sense of peace, calm, and joy when they are around you if you are aligned with your soul and are vibrating at its higher frequency.  Reflect and represent your soul and creator in your every identity, belief, thought, feeling, word, action, and habit.

What Impact Do I Want To Make?

Ask yourself what impact and difference do you want to make. How do I want to serve others? Serve whoever is in front of you in a given moment because that person is sent to you so that you can serve them.
 
Make it a habit to ask yourself throughout the day how may I serve? Whom may I serve? The right people who need to be served by you will be sent your way.

What Am I Passionate About?

Figure out what you are passionate about, what excites and inspires you, motivates and engages you because that particular thing is the clue to your life’s purpose and why you are here.

What Are My Limiting Beliefs

Most of the decisions that we make in life are based on our subconscious mind which has been programmed since we were little kids.
 
You may have formed an Identity, have a belief, and thoughts that drive your feelings, words, and behavior that do not serve you and help you fulfill your purpose.
 
Be aware of these beliefs and ask yourself if they are true. The sooner you realize that the limiting beliefs are not true the sooner you can prevent it from keeping you from fulfilling your purpose.
 
It is better to live your life with beliefs that serve you than the beliefs that don’t serve you. 

What Do I Want?

Make sure you are crystal clear on what type of life you want to create for yourself. Have a vision for every area of your life.
 
Ask yourself what is my purpose, and life mission are, what your perfect day looks like, where do I live, who do I live with, what are my goals in the different areas of your life, etc.

When Am I At My Best And Come Alive?

Know when you feel your very best, joyful, and happiest.  When you start living your purposeful life in alignment with your soul you will feel blissful and no other feeling will ever compare to how good you will feel despite the outer circumstances and situations that you will encounter.
 
This elated feeling will serve as a clue that you are on your purposeful life path.

In conclusion, you now know self-reflection is an extremely important practice to adopt and do regularly especially if you want to continue to live your true, conscious, soul-aligned, purposeful, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
 
It will help you have a better relationship with yourself by knowing, and understanding who you are, where you have come from, and why you are here right now.
 
I hope you will take the time to answer the 12 questions that we discussed in this article and start living your purposeful life!

What Is The Best Time For Quiet Time?

We live in an informational age where we are bombarded with lots of information and noise. Any information that we need is literally at our fingertips and can therefore easily lead to overconsumption, and overload.
 
One other big downside of this age is that it is very hard to prioritize and experience individual moments of silence. One of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself would be to schedule and spend some time in the quiet every single day. What is the best time for quiet time?
 
The best time for quiet can be catered to your lifestyle, stage, or phase. Ideally, it would be beneficial for you to schedule some quiet time early in the morning when there are fewer distractions, noise, and demands on your time.

This practice will help you get grounded, connect to your spirit and creator before you start your day face other people, and deal with different situations throughout the day.
 
The ideal peaceful time to experience some quiet time, if your schedule allows it, would be around 4 am because most people are asleep at that time and therefore there are fewer interfering energies felt from the collective consciousness. 
 
So, you may be wondering how long is a normal quiet time. Let’s discuss that next.

How Long Is Quiet Time

The answer to this question will again depend on how much time you can designate to it depending on your lifestyle, and stage.
 
If you can designate about one hour for this practice it would be very beneficial to you.  Any time spent in silence even if it is only for two minutes will be better than not experiencing it at all.
 
Next, let’s discuss some further benefits and reasons why you should seriously consider this routine and ritual of spending some time in silence daily.
