“There is no Such Thing as a Perfect Parent. So Just be a Real One.”β£
Parents, you don’t have to be perfect. Your child just needs you to be honest and authentic. As parents, it’s ok to give ourselves the green light to make mistakes in the very same way we should give our kids permission to do the same. β£There is freedom in not being perfect and in not expecting yourself to be perfect. If we were to survey our children they would tell us they don’t desire for us to be perfect either, they just want you to be real.β£Adults are only human too. We all make mistakes and are figuring out this thing called parenting as we go. As long as we continue to do our best and learn from our slip ups – that’s all anyone could ask for.β£Far too often, parents tend to judge other parents and think that it’s okay to have an opinion regarding how they are choosing to raise their children. Rather than putting each other down, we have to stand together and support one another. β£
We are all in this together, supporting one another through this community.
