The best advice I ever received on parenting was this: visualize that
you and your child are in a bubble. Focus simply on him....tune out what
others think and how they may be judging you. If your child's behavior
needs correcting, or if his needs are paramount in that moment, this
will help you think clearly, calmly and lovingly.
You will
parent/guide/discipline from your very best self - and not from shame or
embarrassment.
