Society is sometimes unfair to parents, placing high demands on them.
Modern moms and dads must raise children perfectly to protect themselves from judgment and advice from others.
This leads to stress. In addition, the process of education is difficult from a psychological point of view. Therefore, parents may face a state of nervous tension.
How to deal with it
Don't hang out with toxic people
If you have friends in your circle who constantly tell you that you are raising your children incorrectly, feeding them poorly, and spending too little time with them, then you need to communicate less with such people.
Condemnation does not help to improve the situation. Instead, parents need to find friends who could provide moral support and help.
Don't blame yourself for mistakes
Some parents can't help but feel that their care for their children is far from ideal. But no one can boast that they really do their job 100%.
Don't feel too guilty about not cooking a healthy dinner or turning on a cartoon for your child instead of reading a book together.
Parents also get tired and want to dedicate time to rest. Therefore, experts believe that you should not destroy your nervous system with a constant feeling of guilt.
Take a rest
It's hard to be a perfect parent if you just don't have enough energy. A working person can't spend all their time with their children.
If mom and dad stop resting, this can lead to emotional burnout. Therefore, try to sleep more, walk with your children in the fresh air, eat right if possible, and enjoy life and the process of upbringing.
This approach is more harmonious and correct.
