[quote=Anonymous]It's hundreds of tiny moments OP. Not a podcast or a book or one conversation. It's shifting your own values and then living them daily. It's great you have some self-awareness about it. If I was in your situation I would start with an open conversation with your daughter telling her you recognize the pattern you've gotten into and why it's problematic. And then I would stop doing what you're doing. Stop with buying all the stuff. Be kind yourself. Recognize it in others and her and speak of it highly. Talk about effort and other qualities and not achievements. In all conversations around her and with her, shift what you are focusing on entirely and the reasons why she matters to you. It's not her grades, her sport, her looks, her friends. It's who she is, how she shows up, her role in your family, etc.[/quote]
