Give Your Guilt a Time-Out
That’s the advice from a book published last year that we’re reading now. It’s called “Mommy Guilt”, by Julie Bort, Aviva Pflock and Devra Renner. The subtitle is inspiring: Learn to worry less, focus on what matters most, and raise happier kids.
Here are our top two favorites of their seven principles of the Mommy Guilt-free Philosophy:
1. You must be willing to let some things go.
2. Parenting is not a competitive sport (sound familiar?)
The book has lots of encouraging words and practical strategies for coping with the everyday crazy-making moments without triggering your guilt-o-meter.
Also interspersed throughout are quotes and tips from other parents. Prior to the book’s publication, 1,300 parents were surveyed about the things that induce guilt in them and how they cope with them. You can compare your answers with theirs at the back of the book. The authors also have a website where you can take their Mommy Guilt survey.
