Dr. Shefali emphasizes being present for children
It is important for parents to release their past and focus on being present for their children in the moment, as children live in the present. The podcast discusses how a mother, Erica, a military veteran, struggles with guilt for missing key moments in her son's life due to her service deployments, leading to a lack of connection with him in his teens. Dr. Shefali highlights the importance of reframing guilt, accepting past actions, and focusing on connecting authentically with children in the present moment, rather than overcompensating for missed time.
