Parenting Perspective and Self-Perception

Parents often worry about their kids' behavior in public, dreading moments like grocery store trips or visits to friends' houses. However, the concern itself shows that they are likely doing a good job. Embracing the chaos of parenting and accepting that kids will be kids is key. Recognizing that focusing on raising well-adjusted adults is more important than having perfectly behaved children helps parents shift their perspective and be kinder to themselves and their kids.
