Do you feel you need to hide your emotions from your children? Instead of pretending that you're okay, try acknowledging your sad emotions to your child and thank them for checking in on you.

Parents, do you ever feel totally unappreciated by your children? Like they're just not getting it and not appreciating everything you do for them?

Show appreciation for all of the little things your children do.
