The Myth of the Perfect Parent

from Parent Pause · host Kim McCabe

Summary of Kim’s audio:If you’ve ever stayed up reading parenting advice and then lost your temper before breakfast, you’re not alone. The truth is, the perfect parent doesn’t exist. And thankfully, our kids don’t need us to be perfect, just real. Present. Willing to say sorry. The real connection happens in the mess: the trying, the wobbling, the mending. So if you're parenting with love and a bit of scrambled egg on your jumper, you're doing just fine. This is a public episode.
