We all have our flaws when it comes to parenting our children, and most of the steps we take in approaching some vital issues can make us look like we are bad parents, so there is the need to do everything possible to recover from that.

It's not really strange that you feel this way because we all have low moments due to depression or other things; we seem to not be there for our kids anymore, making them think we don’t love them.

To help parents out of this, I have put together all the necessary tips to help recover from the bad parenting practices that are toxic to our kids and our parents.

How to recover from bad parenting;

1. Don't forget to hug;

The best way to show your love to your kids is by hugging them and doing so with a genuine heart.

This does help you, the parent, heal you when you are going through hard times.

I will advise that you don’t do this only on special occasions like on your kids' birthday or Christmas. Do this always, and soon notice that things will start changing.

2. Be more of their friends;

When you avail yourself to children always, maybe by sitting with them or playing with them, they will feel okay to share everything with you.

Kids love it when their parents, who with no doubt are their first love, take part in their activities.

So having that time for them will let them start seeing you in a different light.

3. Show up;

If you are fond of missing events like your kids’ soccer practice, recitals, or any other important events in their lives, you definitely have to stop it.

That is one major thing that will be used to tag you as a bad parent. In actual fact, you are a bad parent if you have a habit of doing that because all the other children will be represented by their parents, and only your child will be alone without anyone being there to give him the support needed.

Showing up alone increases your child's morale to do his best, making him very happy with you.

4. Let go of the bad energy;

Having negative energy around only does one thing, destruction.

And this affects children from such homes a lot when they are growing up, and they either become timid or rebellious, which is not how you would want your kids to turn out.

5. Learn to appreciate more;

Recovering is a step-by-step process, and it can take a while to get there. Since it is a gradual process, you can start appreciating the little things done to you by your kids. Always remember to say thank you with a smile to them.

This will let them notice that you are not who you used to be, and gradually, they will start warming up to you.

I hope these easy tips help you recover from being a bad parent to build a happier and healthier home.
