from Never Perfect · host Dr. Beth

None of us are perfect parents but we all have different packages of strengths and weaknesses and if we can really tune in to what matters most to us as parents, and what our gifts are, we can use these to love our kids well and raise them to be “kind productive humans”, to use Kristie’s words. Kristie likes to use a “long game” approach to parenting, which involves a daily reminder to her boys, “work hard, be kind, and have fun.” Listen to this episode and more: neverperfect.org Follow us on instagram @neverperfectpodcast Please rate and review this podcast.
