Parenting is deeply influenced by one's own childhood experiences. Subconsciously, adults often parent in a manner that compensates for what they either lacked or abundantly received as children. This psychological echo can shape parenting styles, creating a chain of familial legacies, both positive and negative. Recognizing this can empower parents to break unhelpful patterns and consciously cultivate the nurturing habits they wish to pass on.

guestI definitely inherited the "clean your plate" philosophy from my parents. But now, as a parent, I've learned that sometimes it's okay to leave a little bit of food on the plate. After all, who wants to be a member of the "clean plate club" for every single meal? ?
