Key Takeaways:

• Identify the difference between guilt and shame: Guilt says, “I did something wrong” while shame says, “There’s something wrong with me.”
• Use guilt as a growth tool: Reflect on what triggered the guilt and take actions that align with your values.
• Release shame through connection: Speaking shame aloud to a trusted person weakens its hold.
• Forgive yourself daily: Parenting is about showing up, not perfection.
• Model self-compassion for your kids: By treating yourself kindly, you teach your children to do the same.
