Schuyler Grant<\/a>, director of Kula Yoga Project<\/a> and one of the co-creators of Wanderlust Festival<\/a>, is also the mother to three girls.<\/p>\n

Schuyler notes that one of the aspects about being a parent is that your perspective shifts<\/a>, in many ways. One of the ways in which her perspective shifted was that she realized that it is, in fact, a parent\u2019s sacred duty to be deeply embarrassing for their children: by saying embarrassing things, wearing weird or un-cool clothing, being the un-hip mom in front of their friends, et cetera.<\/p>\n

Schuyler recalls her teenage years, and remembers thinking that she was the only one that had an embarrassing parent, an experience that she now realizes most of us share.<\/p>\n

She shares a funny story about her mom embarrassing her and siblings at a restaurant during her adolescence that has stuck with her as profoundly character<\/a> building.<\/p>\n

At that point, Schuyler was certain that when she became a parent she would never do anything like that to her children, that she would never be that kind of mom.<\/p>\n

The gift of her shift in perspective is that she sees now that it\u2019s her job, and every parent\u2019s job, to embarrass their children, as it\u2019s a way for them to develop their character in a safe, familiar setting: We develop character through moments<\/a> of conflicting emotions and, as children, it is comforting (on some level) to be able to go through this with our parents.<\/p>\n

That is a parent\u2019s sacred responsibility.<\/p>\n
