   Episode 87: Parenting Perfectionists: Helping Your Child Embrace Grace & Perspective when Pursuing Goals

   Type A. Alpha. #BlackExcellence.  Goal Getter. These identities are often desired and celebrated in Black culture. Many of us in our liberated parenting community identify as these on some level. We also encourage our children to drive for greatness as well. At times, however, this drive can include achievement’s problematic twin: Perfectionism. In this episode, Trina Greene and Ivory Parnell-Chambeshi discuss the ways that perfectionism shows up in our children and ourselves. They discuss typical perfectionist behaviors, how they affect our well-being, as well as, the origins, which are found in Black people’s oppression and effort to survive. The co-hosts also share their experiences dealing with perfectionism, how they see it in their children and ways they try to pounce on perfectionism! This episode is presented with audio and video option! So listen in or see us In Living Color! Feel free to comment about your own journey with perfectionism below or email us as podcast@parentingforliberation.org (mailto:podcast@parentingforliberation.org).

In this economy that we talked about, a lot of Families have to be two income households and a lot of black families are two income households. We're not. I mean, there are some that are like, you know, it was a stay at home parent and one is the provider. But even in that regard, we have to see caretaking as labor and work. Right. Taking care of our children as labor. It's work. Even if you don't go to work. Like being home with their children or raising your children is a part of labor. So still, we both work out all day and then we don't come home and take care of these kids together. […]
