Don't Let Your Kids Carry Your Emotional Weight

Children often interpret their parents' emotional responses to their experiences as significant, which can distort their understanding of the events themselves. When a child feels responsible for their parent's emotional state, such as feeling upset over not being invited to a birthday party or not making a team, they may choose to withhold their feelings or experiences to protect their parents. This leads to an unintended consequence where children feel they should manage their parents' emotions rather than express themselves freely. It’s important to recognize that children should not bear the burden of their parents’ happiness, and instead, parents should maintain their emotional well-being independently.
