Parenting: Kids and Guilt - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. You recognize first that guilt does not do anybody any good. So, we need to let go of the guilt. If we feel that we could be a better parent in some ways, or parent differently, we simply need to do that. All we can do is parent today and forward. We cannot look back and worry about mistakes we made in the past. So, if we recognize something that we can be doing better as a parent, we simply tell ourselves, “This is what I am going to do. Starting today, I am going to do a better job of this.” It is never too late to be the best parent that you can be.
