There seems to be a myth that parenting means experiencing guilt. Yet why would that be true? I think parenting guilt is a waste of time and energy. And, more importantly, parenting guilt can deplete the joy you - and your kids! - experience from your parenting. 

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about:

• The concept of parent guilt (bi-directional!)
• The unexpected costs of feeling guilty about your parenting
• Fun options to reduce, minimize and/or evaporate parenting guilt

Resources mentioned:

• “Parent guilt: What is it? And how can we manage it?” (BBC)
• “Does guilt make good parenting?” (University of Rochester) 
• “Got Mom Guilt? Here’s How To Navigate It” (Cleveland Clinic)
• “11 Ways Parents Make Their Kids Feel Guilty Without Realizing It” (HuffPost)
