Raising Children for the World: Guilt-Free Choices
For Karina, the emotional support nurtured since childhood was crucial for navigating physical distance without undue guilt. An upbringing grounded in autonomy allowed her to experience traditional milestones, holiday gatherings, and trips with friends without feeling pressured by mandatory attendance.
