What happens when you spend more time with other people's kids than your own? Parenting guilt is real, and there's no easy solution when it seems like family gets short-changed when you focus on students, but students get shortchanged when you focus on family. In this episode, we'll explore what creates mom guilt and dad guilt, and how those two things can manifest differently. We'll also talk about how the unrealistic standards placed on parents can make it feel like you're never doing enough. Learn how to make choices from a place of compassion, both for yourself as a parent, and for your students' parents (rather than assuming you need to compensate for the things you believe they should be doing but aren't). Then you'll hear directly from 4 teachers who have found solutions and created clear boundaries between family and work.
