From Expectation to Aspiration

Breaking the Chain of Trans-generational Trauma Through Aspirational Parenting

As children, we may at times feel either unloved, unwanted, and neglected, or alternatively, we might experience being dominated and controlled by those whom we rely on for love and our very survival.

As we grow, the expectation on us to meet the demands or to get the attention of our parents became the heaviest weight, because we learned that their love and care was not a given. We had to perform, we had to compete, we had to be what they expected us to be, in order to get those needs met, leaving us feeling invalidated and emotionally abandoned.

When we become parents, all that long forgotten need for love and validation can become reignited by the new child in front of us, because it takes us back to that early time and how we felt. We can then subconsciously begin to try and save our inner child.  The voice of our parents becomes the voice in our own heads. All that expectation, all those demands, all those desperate attempts to win love and praise are subconsciously passed from the parent to the child. From generation to generation in an endless loop of dysfunctional, damaged relationships.

There are countless experts that can help us as adults to heal our childhood wounds and recover from the traumas of our early life, but the point of this course is to get ahead of that repeating cycle – to give future generations a chance to grow and live, unencumbered by subconscious feelings of inadequacy or a desperate search for love and safety.

It is in this effort that I began to articulate the idea of shifting from expectation to aspiration. I call it a shift, because when you really get what it means to move from one to the other, it’s like seeing one of those optical illusions suddenly click in your brain. Once you get the concept, it becomes impossible to continue with business as usual. It cannot be unseen. You’re parenting from a new place.

Why aspirational Parenting?

One of the greatest fears we have as parents is that we will fail to protect our children or that they will suffer from misfortune. In order to protect our children, we need to have influence over them. For that to happen, they need to value our guidance and trust our advice. They must feel that we are a source of wisdom rather than control . To have influence, we must first have credibility. Our children need to believe that what we say is true, balanced, and in their best interest only. To build that credibility, we must as parents and as people, be authentic and non-hypocritical. Children are remarkably perceptive on many levels. They may not have it as a conscious thought, but can sense hypocrisy and inauthenticity, and when they do, they will question our guidance. If we lose credibility, we lose influence, and ultimately, our ability to protect and guide them in meaningful ways. By embracing aspirational parenting, we foster trust and open communication, ensuring that our children turn to us for guidance rather than rejecting it due to perceived control or contradiction. It is about creating an environment where children feel safe to explore their unique potential, develop their own identities, and grow into confident, self-sufficient individuals. By embracing this shift, you are creating the possibility for a  relationship built on trust, encouragement, and genuine connection.

Helping your child develop resilience, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for learning.

To reassure parents that releasing their child from expectation and in so doing releasing themselves from disappointment did not mean indifference or neglect. That in aspiration we can in fact be the best parents possible.  

Many parents fear that if they do not set strong expectations, it means that they don’t care about their child’s future. However, this mindset often stems from our own hopes, fears, and the need to avoid disappointment—disappointment that we sometimes, unknowingly, place onto our children.

When we hold rigid expectations, we attempt to control outcomes to align with our vision of success, believing this is what good parenting requires. But true parental care is not about forcing a child to meet a predefined goal—it is about doing everything necessary to support their growth while recognizing that they have their own unique journey. Aspirational parenting allows us to let go of expectation-driven anxiety and instead focus on empowering children with the tools, guidance, and emotional security they need to create a life that is truly theirs.
