Parenting is one of the most meaningful yet challenging journeys of our lives.
We all want to do the best for our children, help them grow, and create a relationship where they feel loved, secure and understood.
Yet, somewhere along the way, many of us begin to believe that being a good parent means getting everything right. We may expect ourselves to always be patient, make the right decisions, manage our children’s behaviour effectively and never make mistakes. When we fall short of these expectations, we may experience guilt, frustration or a sense of inadequacy.
But where do these beliefs and expectations come from? Are they shaped by our own childhood experiences, the way we were parented, societal expectations, comparisons with other parents, or our fears about our children’s future?
Sometimes, without realising it, we may become so focused on doing things right that we lose sight of what matters most — connection, understanding and emotional availability.
Infinum Evenings:
Good Enough Parenting – Letting Go of Perfection, Embracing Connection
Date : 21st November, 2026; Time 4.00pm to 5.30pm India time
Facilitator : Ragini Rao, Psychotherapist & Trainer. Teaching & Supervising Transactional Analyst(TSTA) ; Co-Founder, InfinumGrowth
The upcoming Infinum Evenings session on Good Enough Parenting invites us to pause and reflect on the standards we hold ourselves to as parents. It helps us recognise that parenting is not about perfection, but about being present, learning from our experiences, responding with compassion and repairing relationships when things don’t go as planned.
This session will bring focus upon –
- Exploring where perfectionist parenting beliefs come from and how to loosen the grip
- Helping parents to reflect on the standards they hold themselves to
- Understand how those standards developed
- Replace perfectionism with Compassion, Connection and Repair
While understanding Good Enough Parenting, participants will also be able to –
- Name the influences that shape their beliefs
- Notice one expectation that feels impossible or harsh to fulfill
- Try a more compassionate , realistic response to that expectation
- Choose one small action that supports connection with their child and themselves .
So, if you are bringing up young children and feeling you are not doing your best, join this Infinum Evening session to take a step back, reflect and work on removing the feeling of guilt and working with the children with a positive and happy energy.
