If you often feel guilty and like you are messing up as a parent, listen to this!

Parenting is hard…period. We all know this. We tell our friends too, yet when we are alone we are so hard on ourselves. Let’s bring back self-compassion. Maybe you messed up these past few years and yelled more than you would like. Maybe you said something you regret today. Maybe you haven’t been yourself and neglected your mental health. Or perhaps you missed the signs of your child needing to feel seen. There are plenty of reasons why we mess up or FEEL like we are messing up. But the problem isn’t making mistakes, it’s not learning from them. It’s not reevaluating how we are parenting and how we can improve. Focus on these 3 tips. Be kind to yourself and remember that you matter. Reconnect with your child. Sometimes just doing this can change their behavior. Lastly, forget what other people say about how you parent. Our kid's grandparents had their chance to parent before. They had chances to mess up too. Now it’s our turn to raise our kids our own way and mess up as well. Thank them for the advice and walk away. Focus on your family. You’ve got this. Thank you to our supporter the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro.
