🌿 National Parents’ Day 2025 🌿
"Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded." – Jess Lair

As a clinical psychologist, I often meet parents who are loving, committed — yet burdened by guilt or the pressure to “get it right.”

Here’s what I’ve learned from both science and therapy:
Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.

🧠 Conflict is normal — repair is powerful.
Dr. Dan Siegel calls this the rupture and repair process.
When we meet conflict with empathy and emotional regulation, we teach our children resilience and deepen trust.

💪 Want a confident child?
Focus on effort, not just outcomes.
Carol Dweck’s research shows that a growth mindset grows from praising persistence, not perfection.

🌱 Want a resilient child?
Let them fall — and rise — in a safe space.
Dr. Shekhar Seshadri (NIMHANS) reminds us that struggle builds strength when it’s supported with warmth.

👁️ Children don’t learn from lectures — they mirror us.
They absorb how we handle stress, love, and mistakes.
Our nervous system is their emotional blueprint.

⚖️ In many Indian homes, parenting is still unequal.
While mothers carry the emotional load, studies by UNICEF and NIMHANS show that father involvement boosts children’s cognitive and emotional development.
👉 Co-parenting isn’t just support — it’s essential.

✨ Let this day be a gentle reminder:
Children don’t need perfect parents.
They need emotionally aware, evolving ones — who show up, reflect, and grow.

🎯 Parenting is not a solo act.
It’s a partnership of presence, care, and co-regulation.
