Connection Matters More Than Perfection

Today I want you to know that I see how hard you work to be the best parent you can be.

I also want you to know you’re not alone!

• You’re in the company of others who are frustrated, exhausted or at their wit’s end.

• You’re in the company of others who want to give up sometimes.

• You’re in the company of others who keep showing up day after day to try to be an even better parent.

>>My quick tip for a quick win with your parenting today is this:

Remind yourself - when you’re frustrated, when you’re drowning in your own negative self-talk, when you just hope this time will be different -

to let go of trying harder to be “perfect” and get curious.

Ask yourself, What would connect me to myself right now?

How can I connect to my child right now?
