Parenting Self Doubt : Every mother at one point or another goes through this question, “Am I raising my child right?” This question itself is a sign that you are an aware and sensitive parent because parents who don’t care don’t ask these questions. Right parenting doesn’t mean being perfect. It means learning, connecting, and becoming a little better every day. So let’s find out some signs that show you are probably on the right track:

If you ask yourself the question

When you think about whether you have done something wrong, then you are serious about your role. This is not a sign of shame, but of sensitivity.

You want to understand your child’s feelings

Not just that he should study or be disciplined, but she also wants to understand what he is feeling and what he is thinking.

regret after making a mistake

It is human to get angry and shout sometimes. But regretting it later and trying to improve is what makes you a good parent.

You value connection

Studying with the child, eating together, knowing his mind, all these are not small things but are the emotional foundation.

You don’t compare (or if you do, you stop yourself)

You avoid saying things like “Sharma ji ka beta…” You know that every child is different, and you want to see your child in his own identity.

You are prepared to make improvements

You want your child to learn from understanding and love, not to be good out of fear. For this, you yourself are ready to be flexible.

What is not meant by proper upbringing?

Staying calm all the time, answering every question, exhausting yourself is not the same thing but it means building a trusting relationship with your child every day.

If you feel tired, weak, or doubt yourself at times, pause and remember that you are doing what a good parent does with honest effort. Good parenting is not a set of rules, but a constant dialogue with yourself, and with your child.

Every mother’s upbringing is different

Every mother has a different way of showing love – some show it firmly, some with hugs. But ultimately, if your intentions are love, understanding and safety, then your way is the best for your child. Parenting is not a competition, but a journey in which you learn as well as your child. So instead of blaming yourself, accept yourself – because your presence, your company, is the biggest need of your child.

Sometimes being a good parent means understanding yourself too

Our own childhood experiences, unfulfilled emotions or unfulfilled desires often reflect in our parenting unconsciously. If you ever find yourself behaving like your parents and then stop, that stopping is the beginning of change. Being a good parent is a process of caring and healing, not just for your child, but for yourself as well. When you treat yourself with kindness, you teach your child to be kind too.
