It Takes a “Shame-Proof Village” to Be More Effective, Loving Parents

In what ways have you felt judged or even shamed as a parent?  How have you handled the parent shaming? Just as shaming our children undermines their healthy development, shaming other parents undermines them and spills over to their children as well. So, both children and parents benefit from shame-proof environments.   California therapist, coach and writer Mercedes Samudio has a mission to end parent shaming and help parents build a “shame-proof village” that will support them in using effective parenting strategies and sustaining strong, healthy relationships with their children at every age. Marti & Erin loved Mercedes’ wise approach and are glad to have her as part of the Mom Enough village of parent support!   HAVE YOU FELT SHAMED AS A PARENT?
