4 Ways to Kick That Mom Guilt to The Curb
The Best Childcare and Daycare Center For Your Child
Mom guilt is where you feel like you are not the best parent — you’re not doing enough for your kids, not spending enough time with them, or they are lacking in some way. This can be a hard feeling to break. Shell’s Early Learning Centers is a daycare and preschool that offers enriching programs for your infant, toddler, and preschooler. Below, we’ll offer up four ways to kick mom guilt to the curb. Contact us for enrollment information today!
Reconnect With Your True Self
It is incredibly easy to get lost in being a mommy, especially when your children are young. They need you almost every second of their waking moments, and you drop everything to take care of them and their needs. It’s important to not lose yourself in this process and to continue to do the things that make your heart sing.
Connect With Other Adults
As a parent, it can be super easy to spend most of your time with your children. However, you and your children will benefit if you make the effort to spend time with other adults. This can be making play dates for your kids, joining Mom groups at your church or in your community, or grabbing coffee with a friend.
Forgive Yourself & Let Go of Expectations
You won’t be the perfect parent — ever. So you need to let go of that expectation and quit trying to live up to it. You also need to forgive yourself when you make a mistake, and ask your children to forgive you as well. We are all human; do your best and forget the rest.
Free Yourself of the Past
As parents, we all make mistakes — because we are only human. You may have said something to your child you wished you wouldn’t have, or you may have not been there for your child when they needed you. The fact is, you love your children, and you do your best. You can’t change the past, but you can make each moment moving forward count.
