The Weight of Parenthood and Emotional Responses
Parenthood can bring immense pressure, which often leads to heightened emotional responses, particularly during stressful times. A clinical psychologist shares a personal experience where a simple comment from her child triggered an overwhelming reaction, causing her to yell out of frustration. Such moments reveal that parenting is not just about managing children's behavior but also about addressing one’s own emotional well-being.
