Megan Ward's "Fixer" Parenting Style
Submitted by Paul
Even before I had kids, I always felt the responsibility for everything to work out—even if that meant doing it myself. After seven years of being a parent, I am very proud to say that I have learned to suppress the urge to complete or fix everything for my kids. That can be tricky when my son can't seem to get his shirt on right-side out and we are late for school. But I have found that through their trial and error, children will learn for themselves how to "fix" their own problems.
This has been one of the more profound lessons I have learned as a parent: how to let my kids experience and discover for themselves what works best and not to have unrealistic expectations of them. I try to be patient and not to worry about what other people are thinking about them. It doesn't come easy and sometimes I fail and find myself putting on their shoes for them. But honestly, there is nothing better than seeing the satisfaction on my children's faces when they get that zipper up!
Besides being a mom, Megan Ward is best known for her role as Kate Howard on General Hospital. She has also been seen in numerous science-fiction and horror movies.
