The “More Good Days” philosophy

It’s easy for parents to feel pressured, to feel like they have to “do it right” every single day or their child will be ruined for life. I’ve been a parent for 32 years and a parent educator for 30. I can say with certainty that we all have moments when we are fabulous parents and we all have moments where we’re truly crappy parents. Luckily, kids are pretty resillient.

When we do inevitably make mistakes, we can apologize, forgive ourselves, and then learn how to do better in the future. In the long run, our kids will say that although we weren’t perfect parents, there were certainly more good days than bad. I’m here to share a little advice, support, and reassurance to help you on that journey.
