03 Nov A Recipe for Extraordinary Parenting

As parents, we are our children’s world.  We are all they see.  We are the example of what a human being is all about.  They want to BE us.  They look up to us. We are their world.

The best education a child can receive is to see their parents living happy, successful, stable, fulfilling lives. It’s not what we say, but who we are as people that will affect our children’s lives.

So the single most important responsibility we have as parents is to live great lives, and be great people.

But what exactly does that look like?

Let’s take a look at how the Intra-Spect Assessment Parenting score is calculated to provide a deeper understanding of the interconnectivity between this important category, and every other area of your life…

The Parenting score is the most complicated calculation of the entire assessment, taking into consideration more variables than any other category.

Simply put, every category of your life is taken into deep consideration, and the direct questions within the parenting section count the LEAST toward your total score.  Your Personal Life is taken into great consideration, as well as the overall quality of your relationships, your career & finances, and your lifestyle.  It’s not just what you report as a parent, it’s who you are that your kids see every day. And kids see through everything…

We look at your emotional stability and take into account your levels of stress, happiness and contentment.  If you are overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed all the time, your own well being is compromised and, therefore, so is your ability as a parent.

We examine your levels of health and fitness. If you smoke, are overweight and don’t take care of your body, it doesn’t matter what you teach your children about being healthy… you’re giving them permission to be unhealthy everyday.

We pay special attention to the quality of your love relationship, which factors in as the highest weighted category per question, outside of the parenting category itself.  If you have a fantastic relationship with your partner, you are showing your children every single day what a proper relationship looks like…  How happiness, kindness, and adoration are given and received.

Your career, finances and overall quality of life are also factored in. We look at your level of value-contribution, career satisfaction and financial abundance, as each of these areas are deeply connected to your overall levels of happiness and fulfillment as a human being.

So what does all of this boil down to?

When it comes to parenting, your entire life counts.  If you want to increase your parenting score, you must increase your overall life scores.

If you want to be an extraordinary parent, you must be an extraordinary person.
