We all make mistakes as parents. We all have regrets. We all feel shame sometimes.
Give yourself permission to move on from the parent you were yesterday.
In NVR the past is in the past. Mistakes is how we learn. We repair and make amends and move on. We take responsibility for next time - how we're going to do make sure we respond in a better way.
Offer your children the same grace. Normalise fresh starts. Let the past be in the past. Help our children to think about how they can respond differently the next time - and what help they're going to need from us and others.
