Parents can hold in on a lot of guilt when it comes to whether they’re a good parent or not. They often wonder if they’re good enough or if they’re further traumatizing their children. They wonder if they’re just repeating bad patterns or if they’re not pushing their children hard enough to succeed. There are a million and one thoughts that go through a parent’s mind when it comes to raising their children in a healthy and productive way.    When we’re talking about mom and dad guilt, what we’re really talking about is feeling bad for ourselves for not doing enough or having this underlying feeling that we are always doing something wrong as a parent. Sometimes this guilt can manifest into shame, which makes parents think that there’s something inherently wrong with them.    Parents! You need to remember that you’re doing the best that you can. It’s also important to not let your own insecurities spill out. You can do some internal work to help ease these nagging and negative voices that you’re not a good enough parent or you’ve done something horrible that will mess up your children. Lessen the load and the mental pressure you put on yourself.    It’s also important to remember that being a parent is only a part of you, and it’s not 100% of your identity. You are your own being and you have so much to offer yourself, the world, and your children. When you tap into your own identity, everyone around you wins because you can show up as a more authentic and happier version of yourself.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
