Deep dives
The No Regrets Model of Parenting
A no regrets model of parenting focuses on making the most of each moment rather than dwelling on missed opportunities. When parents cannot attend events due to work commitments, they can communicate this to their children, ensuring that one parent is available whenever possible. This approach helps the family look forward and make the best of future interactions rather than feeling guilty about past absences. It encourages parents to double down on quality time whenever they can, maintaining a long-term view on family relationships.
