Feeling overwhelmed? You’re in good company. As a parent, the emotional highs and lows of raising children while questioning whether you're causing more issues than you're resolve can be challenging to manage the emoting. We’re all born with different sensitivities to stress, and it’s crucial to identify and address these feelings before they spiral into something more. It's all about understanding ourselves better, practicing self-care, seeking support, and encouraging our children to do the sa

Lately, it feels like we’ve been missing nuance in conversations about parenting. Just because a parent is really present in their kid's life, does that mean they’re crossing the line into being too involved?

One of the big reasons I do the work I do is not to create an army of perfect, emotionless parents. It's to show how we can be more mindful of our emotional state and mental health as we endeavor not to pass on our own issues and neuroses to our children. Will we mess up? Sure.

Guilt is a complex emotion, especially for mothers navigating the balance between ambition and intuition. In our rush to encourage moms to "lean in," let's not forget that honoring their instincts is equally vital. It's okay to feel torn; it means you care deeply about the situation. It's time to embrace that guilt as a sign of love, not a burden to be avoided. | Erica Komisar, LCSW
