The Burden of Parental Guilt

Many parents experience guilt regarding their parenting choices and actions, often questioning what they could have done differently. This guilt can stem from various sources, including personal shortcomings, changes in family dynamics, or the pressures of modern life. However, it's emphasized that such guilt is counterproductive and can detract from effective parenting. Instead of improving one's role as a parent, guilt can lead to increased stress and hinder the ability to focus on meaningful interactions with children.
