The Importance of Resilience in Parenting

Many parents struggle with the challenges they face in raising their children, especially when reflecting on past years where they may not have met their own expectations. However, the focus should not be on previous shortcomings but rather on the commitment to self-improvement going forward. Embracing the idea that setbacks are part of the journey allows parents to remain motivated and strive for betterment, not only for themselves but also for their families. This resilience is essential; as Marcus Aurelius noted, it is disgraceful to give up when there is still strength to continue.
