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. Based on my personal and professional experience, I know 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. By doing so, in the long run, our kids will be able to say that although we weren’t perfect every day, there were always more good days than bad days. I’m here to share a little advice, support, and reassurance to help you on that journey.
