What are effective ways to cope with parental guilt?

  1. Identify the Source: Reflect on why you feel guilty. Is it from external pressures or your own expectations?
  2. Focus on the Positives: Acknowledge what you’re doing right, and remind yourself that no parent is perfect.
  3. Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself as you would a friend, with kindness and understanding.
  4. Take Action: If guilt stems from a specific issue, work on small steps to address it.
