You are not a bad parent. During the pandemic, start learning how to stop parenting out of guilt or anxiety.
When we’re in crisis, the voices built most deeply in us come out. Sometimes that can be positive. Other times it turns self-critical.
Instead of blaming ourselves, we can remind our hearts that we are created in God’s image to do good works. We can be vessels of God’s grace and presence to our families during this difficult time.
It’s almost never as bad it could be.
Let’s get a little deep for a moment: There is a distance between “as bad as it could be” and what is actually happening. The efforts you are making to bring God’s grace to your family are what is creating that distance. In other words, things are not as bad as they could be because of the things you are doing well!
Focus on what you are doing well as a parent and allow God to grow those moments each day.
